Old Rappahanock County Records, 1687-1690(now Totasky Cr, Richmond, Co.) St Peter's Parish, New Kent/Hanover County, ca1690-death(?).

NOTE: In St Peter's Parish Vestry Book, Mathew & Hannah were born to Abraham Cooke in 1690's. Abraham's wife, Martha, is believed to have been dau of William? Cleaton/Clayton & Hannah. After his death, Hannah (?) Clayton, widow, then married __?__ MacAllister. So, in 1704 King William Co., Hannah Mackalister appoints her "loving son in law", Abraham Cooke, her attorney in fact. Hannah, therefore, would have been Hannah (?) Clayton-McAllister. This may account for the name "Clayton Cooke" as son of William Cooke(died ca1752), believed-son of Abraham & Martha.

Specifically, see Old Rappahannock Co., Virginia Deeds between William Clayton, son of William Clayton, deceased, and wife Mary, to Abraham Cooke & wife Martha, from May, 1689, to deeds-out by Abe Cooke in 1690. (the land in these deeds was 150 acres+/- on Totasky Creek, in present-day Richmond County. 100 acres of it was purchased by William Clayton Sr from William Landman, DB8,page 58; & 50 acres belonged to "my mother's estate", meaning William Clayton, Jr's mother, also noted in DB8,page 58, dated 5/6/1689, recorded 9/4/1689.)


Married to Abraham Cooke Sr.
Children: William, Abraham, Benjamin, Hannah, Matthew, Robet, Frances, John
