I found a book that listed cabinet makers in Kentucky - I offer this information to other Cook researchers that might have had a craftsman in the family.
J. A. Cook, at Milburn, Ballard County, KY 1859
John Cook, chairmaker, on South Main between 7th and 8th in Covington, Kenton Co, KY 1859
John Cook, age 38, born in Virginia, in Kentucky 3 years, chairmaker, Greenup Coup 1850
R. J. Cook, age 20, born Pennsylvania, Jefferson County, KY
Geo. Cooke, age 19, runaway apprentice to house joiner, Fayette Co, KY
John Cooke, age 21, chairmaker and wheelwright, Gallatin Co, KY

My brick wall: Jefferson Davis Cook, my great great grandfather!
Confirm information all found here with othe sources. Detailed census information is coming as I have time. Visit: http://www.genrecords.com
