It was surmised by C.W. Throckmorton[1] that Joan was the daughter of Ranulph de Cocton, however there is a century between them. She has since been conflated with Joan de Cocton, wife of Robert Cocton, and their daughter Joan de Kinewarton.

She also has been confused with Joan de Cocton, wife of Hugh de Norfolk, all of whom were joined in a grant of land in Samborne and Coughton in 1275

I have given above nearly verbatim the account of the Cocton and Spine families from Wrottesley of Wrottesley by the Right Honorable Major General Sir George Wrottesley and from the Antiquities of Warwickshire by Sir William Dugdale, and after a careful study of the descent given in both the above authorities, and an examination of the charters and deeds at Coughton, the Vic¬ toria History of Worcestershire, the Visitations of Warwickshire and Oxford, Hark Society publications, vols. V and VIII, I have come to the conclusion that Joan, the daughter and one of the co¬ heirs of Sir Simon de Cocton, did not marry William de Spine, as stated by Sir William Dugdale. She married (first) Hugh de Bruley, and (second) Hugh de Norfolk.

Simon, who died at Alcester through falling off his horse when drunk, (fn. 66) had been succeeded by 1220 by his son Simon, (fn. 67) probably the same Simon who about 1241 gave to the monks of Alcester a place for a piggery and a load of firewood weekly in his wood of Coughton. (fn. 68) Simon married Constance daughter of William de Parco before 1226, (fn. 69) but was dead by 1274, when his widow is mentioned, and also their daughter Constance, who had married John son of Master John de Billesle. (fn. 70) Simon and Constance had other daughters. (fn. 71) One, whose name was Joan, is said to have been twice married: (fn. 72) first to Hugh de Burleye, with whom she joined in 1257 in enfeoffing William de Spineto of a half virgate in Coughton, (fn. 73) and subsequently to Hugh de Norfolk, who joined with her in 1274 in a further grant to William de Spyney (this time with Joan his wife) of land in Samborne and Coughton, together with the reversion of the third part thereof held by Constance widow of Simon de Cocton in dower.
