About Mary Smith
9 Mary Cocke must have been born around 1680. She married Obadiah Smith around 1700 or a little later. I have eight children listed for them, although there seems to be some doubt about whether one or two of them were children or younger siblings of Obadiah Smith. She died on her husband's plantation on Turkey Creek, in southeastern Henrico County, in 1754.
