George and Virginia were in Wayne county, Tennessee in 1850. Greene county, Arkansas in 1860.
Virginia is listed 1870 in Craighead county, Arkansas with her daughter Mary.
In looking for George Cook, So far it seems that the Cooks from Wayne county, Tennessee were not connected to the Cooks who came from Bedford county, Tennessee. There were several Cook familys in the area. I have been looking at the possibility that George Cook may have been the son of a Christian Cook who was in Wayne county, Tennesseee and a grandson of John Cook who was from Pennsylvania. Will have to look more into this.
Margaret is listed at home 1850 and 1860. 1870 she is listed with her brother John in Craighead county, Arkansas. It is unknown whether she married.
John and Elizabeth are only found in the 1870 census. I have been unable to locate them in 1880. No marriage record has been found. The Craighead county courthouse burned, there records start in 1878.
