Richard Henry Cockerille, Sr. - Richard Henry Cockrell

Perhaps his father, Jeremiah had a brother that he was named after......

According to this, there is a daughter Ann of Jeremiah Cockerille and Katherine Lewis that married a Mr. Turley. She died about 1807. Perhaps Ann's parents are actually Jeremiah, not Richard Henry Cockrell.

I am a descendant of Jeremiah Cockerille and Katy Lewis. Family information passed on to me shows that Jeremiah and his first wife, Martha Linton, had a daughter, Nancy, who married a Mr. Turley and they had Samuel, George, and Alexander. Nancy may have been born in 1759 which would place her in the right time period. There may have been other children born to this couple. A lot more research seems to be needed.

Thank you for responding to this Frances. We do need to keep researching this line.

I read about that Nancy (Ann), too. Their location is right for it to be likely, but I haven't found anything that makes me feel sure enough to make a positive connection. However, I do have a George and Alexander as her children. Need to compare birth dates for them.....

My pathway to you at this time is through my mother's side.

The Turley/Cockrell connection would be through my father's side.

After adding the children of Jeremiah to the tree I have become convinced the Ann Turley (Cockell) is likely the daughter of Jeremiah. I also added Jane Thornton (Cockrell as another sister. The two court cases seem to support this.

Let me know what you think, Frances.

I didn't merge Nancy and Ann because I'm not sure at this point that they are one and the same. Nancy might have died prior to these court cases.
