General Notes: Margaret's death was most likely due to complications delivering her last son, David A., born August 7, 1890. She died on August 18, 1890. The young son died shortly thereafter on September 20. The 1880 census states that Margaret is 25 which would have her being born between 1854-1855. Her grave marker gives her birth date as October 6, 1854. Margaret's grandparents William and Elizabeth Hunter arrived from Ireland aboard the sloop "William" in Charlestown, South Carolina in 1828 with their two sons, William and James, and two daughters, Mary and Elizabeth . Margaret's mother, Elizabeth, was born in July 1827 therefore she was approximately one year old when her family arrived in Charlestown.

Margaret married James Anderson Cook, son of Jesse Cook and Penelope Coneway, on 16 Jan 1873 in Gwinnett County, Georgia. James was born on 24 May 1852 in Chattooga County, Georgia, died on 27 Sep 1914 in Duluth, Gwinnett County, Georgia at age 62, and was buried in Norcross Town Cemetery.

General Notes: 1. James Anderson Cook married Margaret Hunter January 16, 1873 in Georgia. He was a blacksmith in the Pinckneyville area of Gwinnett County during the period of 1874 to 1900+.

2. In the census of 1880 (Volume 11, E.D. 118, Sheet 3, Line 11) James Anderson and Margaret Cook are living in the Pinckneyville District of Gwinnett County Georgia with the following children:  son, John R., age 6; son, E (Edward), age 4; son James Howell, age 2; and daughter, J. (Jane) Annie, age 7 months. They also had a hired hand living with them. It is Interesting that James A. Cook's siblings were named John, Edward and Anne, the same as his first two sons and first daughter.

3. In the census of 1900 James A. is reported to own his own house without any mortgage. Margaret bore him nine children before dying due, most likely, to complications with giving birth to her last child (died 11 days after the birth). In this census four of his children by his first marriage, Walter (18), Riley (16), Ida(13) and Ruth (11) are still living at home as well as four children of his marriage with Anna, Maggie (7), Mattie (5), Esther (3), and Ellen (8 months).

After his first wife Margaret died, James married her sister Sarah Rosanna Elizabeth (Anna) on December 21, 1890. To my knowledge Anna bore him four children, all girls. Margaret and Anna Haynie's father was born in South Carolina, their mother Elizabeth Hunter Haynie was born in Ireland.

James Anderson Cook and Margaret Cook along with their son David and their son Walter Franklin Cook, his wife (Tallulah Morgan Cook) and young son (James Riley) are buried in the Norcross town cemetery. Adjacent to their grave sites are Margaret's parents, David W. Haynie and Elizabeth Hunter Haynie in a Haynie family plot. Also buried in an adjacent plot is Rosanna Haynie Cook, James Anderson Cook's second wife, and one of James and Rosanna's daughters Ellen Palmyra Cook. Continuing down from that plot in the next adjacent plot is a third sister, Eliza Haynie Bolton, one of her daughters and three graves with rock markers without identification. James Anderson Cook owned and operated a blacksmith shop in Norcross from the mid 1870s to sometime before 1910.  In the 1910 census he and his family had moved to Duluth where he owned another blacksmith shop. Several of his sons joined him in the blacksmith business. I am told that James Anderson's blacksmith and wagon shop in Duluth had a sign saying "James A. Cook and Sons."  At least two of his sons, James Howell and Walter Franklin joined him in the blacksmith business on a permanent basis. James Howell continued the blacksmith business in Duluth after his father died. Walter Franklin Cook died at age 29 in 1911.

Sarah married Unknown Lamar about 1875. Unknown was born in Georgia.

The child from this marriage was:

            43   F      i. Cora Lamar was born between Jun 1876 and May 1877 in Gwinnett County, Georgia and died between Oct 1909 and 1910 about age 33.

General Notes: The C. may have been for Cora. A Cora Lamar married Hilliard Rawlins in Gwinnett County in 1900. Rosannah Haynie Cook reported in the 1910 census that she had given birth to five children, four who were living. Since her four daughters with James A. Cook were living, I can only presume that Cora Lamar, her first daughter had died previous to 1910. Cora married Hilliard Rawlins, son of William Jack Rawlins and Frances Clementine Donaldson, in 1900 in Gwinnett County, Georgia. Hilliard was born on 5 Jan 1880 in Gwinnett County, Georgia and died on 12 Sep 1909 in Snellville, Gwinnett County, Georgia at age 29.

General Notes: Death: 12 SEP 1909 in Gwinnett County, Georgia of Typhoid Fever

Hilliard L. Rawlins, aged 28, died yesterday afternoon at 2 o'clock at the residence, 87 Powell Street. He was a groceryman and kept a store on Decatur Street. He was a member of Fulton lodge of Odd Fellows.   He is survived by his wife and three children. The funeral arrangements will be announced later.

Atlanta Constitution   Tuesday, September 14, 1909

Hilliard L. Rawlins, aged 38, died at a private sanatorium Sunday night. The body will be sent to Gloster, Ga., today for funeral and interment.

Sarah next married James Anderson Cook, son of Jesse Cook and Penelope Coneway, on 21 Dec 1890 in Norcross, Gwinnett County, Georgia. James was born on 24 May 1852 in Chattooga County, Georgia, died on 27 Sep 1914 in Duluth, Gwinnett County, Georgia at age 62, and was buried in Norcross Town Cemetery.

General Notes: 1. James Anderson Cook married Margaret Hunter January 16, 1873 in Georgia. He was a blacksmith in the Pinckneyville area of Gwinnett County during the period of 1874 to 1900+.

2. In the census of 1880 (Volume 11, E.D. 118, Sheet 3, Line 11) James Anderson and Margaret Cook are living in the Pinckneyville District of Gwinnett County Georgia with the following children:  son, John R., age 6; son, E (Edward), age 4; son James Howell, age 2; and daughter, J. (Jane) Annie, age 7 months. They also had a hired hand living with them. It is Interesting that James A. Cook's siblings were named John, Edward and Anne, the same as his first two sons and first daughter.

3. In the census of 1900 James A. is reported to own his own house without any mortgage. Margaret bore him nine children before dying due, most likely, to complications with giving birth to her last child (died 11 days after the birth). In this census four of his children by his first marriage, Walter (18), Riley (16), Ida(13) and Ruth (11) are still living at home as well as four children of his marriage with Anna, Maggie (7), Mattie (5), Esther (3), and Ellen (8 months).

After his first wife Margaret died, James married her sister Sarah Rosanna Elizabeth (Anna) on December 21, 1890. To my knowledge Anna bore him four children, all girls. Margaret and Anna Haynie's father was born in South Carolina, their mother Elizabeth Hunter Haynie was born in Ireland. James Anderson Cook and Margaret Cook along with their son David and their son Walter Franklin Cook, his wife (Tallulah Morgan Cook) and young son (James Riley) are buried in the Norcross town cemetery. Adjacent to their grave sites are Margaret's parents, David W. Haynie and Elizabeth Hunter Haynie in a Haynie family plot. Also buried in an adjacent plot is Rosanna Haynie Cook, James Anderson Cook's second wife, and one of James and Rosanna's daughters Ellen Palmyra Cook. Continuing down from that plot in the next adjacent plot is a third sister, Eliza Haynie Bolton, one of her daughters and three graves with rock markers without identification.

James Anderson Cook owned and operated a blacksmith shop in Norcross from the mid 1870s to sometime before 1910.  In the 1910 census he and his family had moved to Duluth where he owned another blacksmith shop. Several of his sons joined him in the blacksmith business. I am told that James Anderson's blacksmith and wagon shop in Duluth had a sign saying "James A. Cook and Sons."   At least two of his sons, James Howell and Walter Franklin joined him in the blacksmith business on a permanent basis. James Howell continued the blacksmith business in Duluth after his father died. Walter Franklin Cook died at age 29 in 1911.

General Notes: 1. A John R. Cook is shown in the death records and burial records to be in Buford, Ga. I believe this is the right person because of the birth date. John was employed as a bookkeeper at the bank in Buford, Georgia. He was only married about five years with one child when he died.

2. The record of John R Cook's marriage was obtained from the Gwinnett County Probate Court. He and Effie May Allen were issued a marriage license on June 6 and married on June 10, 1906 by Reverend Wiley W. Owens, the same minister that married his brother Edward and Annie Hurt in 1903.

General Notes:    James Howell Cook joined his father in the blacksmith business. He owned a blacksmith shop in Duluth all of his adult life. The shop was near the Methodist Church right off main street in Duluth. Several of his sons helped out in the shop in their teenage years but none stayed in the business after graduating from high school. He and his family were members of Duluth Methodist Church and were faithful attendees. In 1910 the James H. Cook family lived in a house near James Anderson Cook. James Anderson Cook lived up on a hill with James Howell on one side of him and the Charles Gresham family on the other side. James Howell's half-sister Margaret married one of the Gresham boys, Carl and his brother William Riley married Myrtle Lena Gresham.

It was my misfortune to be born many years after my grandfather died therefore I never knew him, but I do have fond memories of my grandmother Cook.

It is interesting to me that my grandfather James Howell and his sister Jane Annie applied for their marriage licenses on the same day, December 5, 1899 and they were married in a double wedding ceremony performed by the Reverend J. W. Haney on December 24, 1899. This indicates to me that they must have had a very close relationship. Jane married William Castleberry Coker and they named one of their sons Howell after her brother and another Anderson after her father.
