Notes

From https://wc.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=monkeys&id=I33352

It is easy to see how the confusion arose between William Cox, son of John
Cox Sr and William Cocke, son of Thomas Cocke of Pick-thorn Farm who both lived in Henrico county about the same time. Each had a w.fe named Sarah. and William Cox and his wife Sarah had a son Stephen Cox, wl.de William Cocke had a brother named Stephen Cocke. One of William Cox's daughters was Martha Cox who married Henry Wood at Bremo in 1723», but why the wedding took place at the home of Bowler Cocke« (Richard', the elder Richard', Richard') is something of a puzzle.

Rev. William Finney (Finnie), who married Mary Cocke, daughter of Thomas Cocke' (Thomas', Richard'), was minister of Varina Parish 1714-1727. «i»lnl/a«/i» he was one of the sureties at the baptism of Valentine Wood, son oí Henry Wood and his wife Martha Cox."

In the light of the facts here put together, corrections need to be made in the Cocke Genealogy as given in Volume IV of this Magazine not only pp. 94-95 but pp. 327 and 436.
