In Earl A. Cook's 1941 "Cook History and Genealogy" it is stated that George Washington Cook is buried in the Chapel Hill United Methodist Church. Find-a Grave does not have the sight recorded which may mean the sight is deteriorated to the point of being lost.
In the 1850 US Census, he is noted as 13 years old. [1]
