He was born in South Carolina in 1772 and joined the church at Sardis, Pike Co., Ga., in 1827. The Saturday before he died, Brother William Morgan preached at his daughter's house. He seemed to enjoy the preaching very much. On Sunday he went to church and heard Brother Morgan preach again which was the last sermon he ever heard. He leaves three sons, a daughter and several grand and great children to mourn their loss, but their loss is his eternal gain. -Thomas Cook Additional Comments: Thomas Cook was married to George Wright's daughter, Susan.
