Introduction
The Jay Cooke family can trace its roots back over 150 years to Jay Cooke (1821-1905), the patriarch who married Dorothea Elizabeth Allen (1827-1871) in 1844. They had eight children (four of whom died early), sixteen grandchildren and forty-three great grandchildren who descended from them...and the lineage continues to this day.
