James Cook -- GA (not Capt. Cook)

I am researching the James COOK line that possibly began in TN -- but most likely in GA. James was born in TN or GA ? both states show up on census. I know he was in GA before 1837. One descendent removed to TN into Hamilton County (Chattanooga). I have little info on James and no information on his parents. Here is what I have so far.
