The gravesites of George W. Hook in Rogers Cemetery is the son of Rev. Patriot George Hook and the gravesite of Sarah Hook is the daughter-in-law of Rev. Patriot George Hook. It is felt that it is possible that Patriot George Hook might be buried in this same cemetery, but there is no stone or no proof that he is.
