In Reply to: David Ashton Cocke's ancestry line by Pat Bresie	of 1140

I was just reading an old book I found and thought you might be interested. It's called "Two Men of Virginia" by George Cary Eggleston. Published August, 1908 It's a fiction of mid 1800's, VA.
The dedication made me want to try to find a member of the Cocke family because I should have liked to know myself if it were mine.

The dedication reads: To the memory of Chastain Cocke of Virginia whose nobility of character, generosity of mind, and uprightness of life were an inspiration to me in youth, and whose personality is imperfectly suggested in that of Colonel Butler Shenston. I inscribe this story of the Old Regime in the Old Dominion, with love and gratitude.
