Elizabeth is named in Henry’s Will as his wife and infers she was the widow of Stith Bolling. Some references state she was Elizabeth Rogers, widow of John Hartwell and Col. Stith Bolling. Stith Bolling died in 1727 and Henry supposedly married Elizabeth that year.
Other Marriage notes for Elizabeth (Spouse 1)
Previously married to John Hartwell and Stith Bolling. Possibly married to Henry Browne.
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].
