Thank you Sue and Leslie, You have given me pieces of the puzzle I am working on, I will go to the library to get the book to read about the Crooks, my husband knew nothing of his family history until I started on all of this, and now I have traced parts of his farther back then the records I have on my side. go figure. I have enjoyed giving him some information on his family.  
Thank you for your responses and time spent looking into this to help me , I do greatly appreciate it. Thanks again Mickie D.

"A Century of Coos and Curry Counties"
Thereon W. Crook, b. New York 1816.  To Curry County 1865; resided in Pistol
River and at Port Orford.  Married Nancy Hamilton.  Parents of 8 children

"Pioneer History of Coos and Curry Counties"
Theron W. Crook was born in Erie Co., N.Y. March 8, 1816 and came to Oregon
in the fall of 1852, and in 1865 came to Curry Co., and settled on Pistol
River, then moved to Port Orford and lived ten years, but the last four
years he has resided in Pisolt River.  His wife's maiden name was Nancy
Hamilton, born in Mass., Jan 8, 1816.  They are the parents of eight
children, five boys and three girls.  Their names are Asa W., Edwin, Edward,
George, Adam, Mary, Ellen and Lucy.

Asa H. Crook was born in Whiteside Co., Ill., Dec 12, 1836 and came to Curry
Co., Oregon in 1858 and settled on Pistol River.  His wife's maiden name was
Ellen Lockwood, born in Moline, Rock Island County, Illinois, September 13,
1845, married Dec 12, 1861, and they have five children.  He follows
stockraising and dairying.

"Large numbers of Indians could be seen coming fown from Rogue River, where
not an Indian was to be seen for three days as all of them had gone to fight
the 32 white men in Pistol River.  Towards evening the Indians began
gathering on the beach about half a mile north of the mouth of the river and
the whites commenced to make preparations to receive them if they attempted
a night attack.  Crook, with eight men, was sent up the river about 300
yards to a ford to prevent their crossing and had orders to fall back if the
Indians got too many for them.  They were soon called away and the Indians
took that position. ....  Crook got all his men in safely and no Indians had
attempted to cross the ford."    There's a whole chapter about this but I
only copied a couple of references to Crook.

"Among the wonderful resources the salmon fisheries are mentioned by Mr.
Tichenor as of greater importance. ... The article was written in 1882 and
published in the Record.  At this time it appears that Mr. Hume was packing
from three to five thousand salmon daily, besides Chetco and Winchuck and
Pistol rivers were yielding large quantities of fish that were being salted,
or those from the two first named streams were perhaps hauld to Smith
River -- a place six miles south of the California line.  From 1883 to 1887
Port Orford was a marine collective port.  Capt. Wm Tichenor, T. W. Crook,
F. M. Stewart and Charles W. Zumwalt had charge successively but as little
business was transacted the office was abolished in 1887."  (page 276)

"Joint representatives for Coos and Curry ...
    1886 A. H. Crook
    1888 A. H. Crook
    1890 A. H. Crook
.. "

I could copy this information for you if you are interested.
