James S. (T. on some censuses) Cook was b. 4 Mar 1804 in Washington Co., GA. He died 2 Sep 1880 Clayton Co., GA. His homeplace stood where Fort Gillem (think not being used by military now) was in what is called Forest Park, GA today. I spoke with researchers back in the 1970-80s and know there is a family bible somewhere in the metro Atlanta area. I think he served in the Indian War (early 1800s) but don't have information on it.

He md 1-Martha Mills of Washington Co., GA and had 13 children. He md 2-Mary Ann Virginia "Ginie" Farmer and they had 1 (known to me)son.

He moved his family to Henry Co., GA between 1853-1856. (Part of Henry later made up part of Clayton, don't know if he moved into Clayton or lines just redrawn.)
