Notizen zu dieser Person
Dr. William Cocke was born in Sudbury, Suffolk County, England, in 1672, and baptized 2 Apr 1762, according to records researched by Joe Cockeand Joe Roberson in June 2001 in Bury St. Edmonds, England. One knownfact of his ancestry is that his mother's given name was Susan. He wasenrolled in Felsted Grammar School in Essex. One of his classmates wasWilliam Byrd II, who later came to Virginia and was a very influentialrepresentative in government. Dr. Cocke entered in Queen's College Cambridge, in 1688, taking his M.B. degree in 1693 and being elected a fellow in 1694. He was married in England to Elizabeth Catesby, born in 1680, at St. Peter's Church, in Sudbury, Suffolk County. It seems that shemarried without parental consent, being called disobedient by her father. One source says Elizabeth Catesby was, "a lady of superior attainments intellectually and socially".
He arrived in Virginia in 1710 as Lieutenant Governor Alexander Spotswood‘s personal physician. The doctor established a successful medical practice and later became a major landholder.
