Newton Cook has grave markers in two Confederate cemeteries; one in Griffin, Georgia
and one in Forsyth, Georgia.   The period Confederate records say he died in Forsyth in August 1864, but the Brigade historian said he died in Atlanta in August 1864, and was buried in Griffin.  The historian's work was written after the war, but was based
on wartime records.  I would say that Forsyth is the more likely of the two,  but that's not definite.

Newton Cook enlisted as a Pvt. in Co. D, 9th Kentucky Infantry, Oct. 21, 1861, in Abingdon, VA (that's where the company was mustered in, although it was composed of Kentuckians).  "Report of the Adjutant General of the State of Kentucky, Confederate Kentucky Volunteers, War 1861-65" Frankfort, 2 vols., 1915, 1918, Vol. 1, pp. 432-433
Newton Cook was from Harrison Co., KY, along with most of the rest of Co. D.

He fought at Hartsville, TN (Dec. 1862), and at Murfreesboro, Jackson, Chickamauga, and Missionary Ridge.  He was wounded at Chickamauga.  (Ed
Porter Thompson, "History of the Orphan Brigade," Louisville, 1898, p. 832)

The only other source I can think of on this Newton Cook, that MIGHT give you more info (but maybe not anything useful), would be his military service record in the National Archives.  You can order a copy of this for $10  -- see http://geocities.datacellar.net/Pentagon/Quarters/1864/CSR.htm  --  this page tells what these records are, and how to get copies.  If this service record says he died specifically in either Forsyth or Griffin (or even somewhere else), I'd say that's where he is buried.

If anyone happens to order this record, and it does say where he died, could you let Geoff gwalden@sw.cybersurf.de know? And me... I'm trying to find the Newton Cook that was the father of my GREAT GREAT Grandfather Jefferson Davis Cook.  Jefferson was born ca 1860 - 61 and died in1916, Ballard Co, KY.
