Hi Janette,
I had a vague recollection of replying earlier, but can find no reply to your post. I have published a book on the history of Che(e)vers, covering 1000 years, but have no knowledge of Cookstown other than one or two who have asked for information in the past.
My book is The House of Chevers, and is available from Fast Print Bookshop, or Amazon Books UK , both of which can be ordered on line for about £13.99 + postage.
The book is hardback, with 368pp, part colour, and weight about 2kg.
Within you will find a lifetime's research, with a huge amount of information on Chevers in Ireland.
I hope this is of some use, but as to where and when, Cookstown and others, broke away from the main or collateral branches, you would have to research.
A reading to the Dun Laoghaire Historical Society, of Cheevers of Monkstown, by Dr. Seamus Cannon, at the Royal Marine Hotel, is scheduled for 16 May, and covers much of the history of Che(e)vers.

With best regards,

Max Chevers
