Note: Judith Hawk was born in 1835 in Morgan or Walton County, Georgia. She died on 24 May 1860. Judith died soon after giving birth to triplet girls (Judida, Juda, Julia). This was about one month before the census taker showed up. She was buried on 26 May 1860 in Georgia. Probable grave site is beside Thurman and Mary Hawk graves near Ebenezer Church, Walton County. There is no marker however an older family member told Harry that when she was young, she saw a man there and her mother said "it is Mr. Cook cleaning his mothers' grave" . If this was Gran Pa Thurman Cook, then it would be Judith Hawk Cook grave site. From Victor Hawk webpage: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~vhhawk/v083000/jmalcomd/d61.htm#P61 75.
