Interesting! My last name is Cook, I'm a descendant of John Cooke who came to Virginia from England in 1762. According to family legend he was Scottish. Anyhow one of his sons married a Catherine Stewart, so I have Stewart ancestry dating back to the 18th century as well. My Cornish side were named Varcoe (a distinctive Cornish name) and Reed, and left Tywardreath in the 1870s when the mining business was declining.
Yes I'd love to have the money to do a run of that blue Cornish tartan I designed.
