Marriage: Abraham Wood Circa 1623 Henrico County, Virginia Note: Margaret would have been 6-7 years old at the time of this marriage. A bit young even by colonial standards
"She (Margaret Cocke) is the step-daughter of Abraham Wood. Her mother's name is unknown (emphasis added). Margaret's will dated Aug. 12, 1718, is the source of much information about her descendants. Her second husband was Thomas Cocke of Malvern Hill.
It is unknown who Abraham Wood married. (emphasis added) We do know who it wasn’t. It was not the daughter of Daniel Llewellyn. If Margaret Llewellyn was married to James Cruse, who was executed in 1676 for his part in Bacon’s Rebellion, she died before Cruse, and left no children. Cruse was engaged in trade with the Indians, colonists, and London. His will provides the proof that he did not have a living wife or children. The settlement of his estate a few years later notes that James Cruse did not leave a legal wife or orphan. In his will, James Cruse did leave his suit of clothing to Margaret Llewellyn’s nephew, the son of her half-brother Daniel Price, which suggests they were once married.
Abraham Wood was one of the persons who gave testimony against James Cruse for his part in Bacon's Rebellion. It seems unlikely that the widow of James Cruse, or his daughter would marry a man that helped send James Cruse to the gallows.

Capt. James Crewes Died a widower, so could not have been a husband of this Margaret.

"A Genealogical Bombshell" by Charles Hughes Hamlin, Volume 55 (1967) pp. 95-97 shows:

Margaret who married Peter Jones was the step-daughter of Abraham Wood. General Abraham Wood married the widow of James Cruse [SIC] who already had a daughter Margaret Cruse. The daughter Margaret Cruse married Peter Jones and later married second Thomas Cocke of Malvern Hill, Henrico County, who methioned her son Abraham Jones deceased and her son Peter Jones in his will.
