Hi Donna, glad I could help. I'm also descended from James and Sarah, through James and Hannah's daughter Mary, who married Isaac Frost. Here's another interesting little tidbit I found in the book "The Cox Family in America", on page 11:
...Nothing is known regarding the ancestral relations of Sarah the wife of James Cock. No reasonable suggestion of consanguinity with any of the neighboring families at either of the places at which he was settled has been heard. The temporary occupancy of Thomas Mapes' house and lot at Southold by James Cock, and the appearance together of the names of Mapes and Cock in their progress westward, seem to suggest a possible connection of some kind, but no proof appears.
John Bayles likewise coming to Southold via the Bermudas, whose children intermarried with the Mapes family and removed westward on Long Island coincident with James Cock, might possibly have been Sarah's ancestor, but proof is lacking.
Since writing the foregoing the compilers think they have had sufficient reason to believe that the family name of Sarah, the wife of James Cock, was Clarke, probably sister of Samuel Clarke, of North Sea, Southampton, Long Island, N. Y......
I thought that might be of some interest to you as well.
