Thomas Jones Cocke in Fayette Co., TN; b. ca. 1780, VA
Thomas Jones Cocke married Mary Jane Jones in Fayette Co., TN in 1840.Traditional genealogy gives Thomas J. as b. in Nottoway Co., VA as a part of the Petersburg, VA. Jones line.But there was another Thomas Jones Cocke, also b. ca. 1780, who was a son of John (Jack) Cocke and Elizabeth Jones of Campbell Co., VA.
Elizabeth Jones of Campbell was a close relative of Mary Jane's father, Samuel Jones (a first cousin, I believe).Our Campbell Joneses were famous for marrying cousins.Can anyone give me detailed evidence that the Thomas J. Cocke of Fayette Co., TN was indeed from the Nottoway line?Bible records, etc.
Thanks in advance.
