Research notes for Elizabeth (Spouse 1)
BIRTH:
12 Apr 1686 as given seems unlikely if Henry was born in 1699.
DEATH:
16 Aug 1727 is clearly incorrect as she is alive in 1734 when Henry wrote his will. It appears that it was Jane Stith whose will was proved in Surry Co.,VA, 16 Aug, 1727, and mentions her Stith kids.
MARRIAGES
Elizabeth had a daughter, Elizabeth Hartwell, by John Hartwell. Elizabeth Hartwell married Richard Cocke. In Henry’s Will he mentions John Simmons, his wife, and his son, Hartwell Cocke. Could Elizabeth (Hartwell) Cocke have remarried to John Simmons?
FaG has Elizabeth Hartwell (Ruffin) Cocke [198094734] as mother of Hartwell Cocke [198094221].
