Below are my transcriptions from the Bedford County Tennessee Road Work Book that concern J K Cook. I believe he was overseer for the period from Oct 1874-1875 at which time N B King was appointed to take his place. These entries are part of the Cook Family timeline which will be an upcoming blog post. It is nice to see the properties mentioned.
