THIRD GENERATION-Continued.

IV. THE CHILDREN OF WILLIAM COCKE.2

• 1. WILLIAM." He may have been a son of William Cocke2 by his first marriage with Jane Clarke. If so, he was born about 1679. If his mother was Sarah Flower, he was not born before 1690. His two sisters were certainly by the second wife. There was a " Captain William Cocke," of this period, who died in 1736. This may have been the person.
• 2. MARY COCKE, born c. 1690; married Obadiah Smith; died 1754. Her husband died I746. Their wills are on record in Henrico county. They left a son named Obadiah Smith (died 1765) and a son named Luke, who was the father of Obadiah* Smith' (lieutenant in the Revo- lution, and a man of considerable property), whose daughter, Lucy Smith, married James Powell Cocke6 in 1777.
• 3. ELIZABETH COCKE,3 born c. 1692; married Lawrence Woodward. Their maternal uncle, John Flower, lived in James City county. In 1629 Christopher Woodward was a Burgess for Westover, and there was a Captain Henry Woodward in the French and Indian Wars, 1755-57. The Rev. James Bacon, Eng., first cousin of the great Lord Bacon, married Martha Woodward, and had issue: Nathaniel Bacon, born 1620; died 1692; member Council in Virginia I657; Burgess for York 1659; Acting Governor 1689. This was not the ' Rebel."
