Zardoc Cook-- Part 4: Lived Until 1863


He served in the Georgia House of Representatives in 1806, 1807 and 1822 and the Georgia Senate 11810-1814 (during the War of 1812), 1823 and 1824.  Elected as a Republican to the House of Representatives of the 14th U.S. Congress to fill the vacancy following the resignation of Alfred Cuthbert.  Reelected to the 15th Congress and served 1816-1819.

Retired from public life and lived on his plantation and engaged in agricultural pursuits until his death in 1863.  It would have been interesting to see what he thought about Georgia's secession and the Civil War since he lived until 1863.
