This is my first posting in 1999. Looking for further info on my Cook Family who lived in Gilmer Co., Pickens Co., Cherokee County and Gordon County, Georgia during the 1850-1900 period. It is believed that prior to coming to Georgia, they lived in North Carolina. There has been some indications that my great grandfather, Guilford Cook may have descended from a Martha Cook (who may have not been married). Martha has been associated with a John Tucker (part Cherokee Indian) from North Carolina. It has not been confirmed whether John Tucker was the father of Guilford and his siblings. However, an Indian claim filed by Guilford's brother, Richard Cook indicated it was a possibility. I am specifically trying to verify Guilford Cook's ancestors and further info on Guilford's lst and 2nd marriages. It is known that some children from Guilford's 2nd & 3rd marriage are buried in Chattanooga, TN. I am descended from his 3rd marriage, so I have been able to verify most of those descendants. Would appreciate hearing from anyone who has a connection to this family.
