Hi Larry,
Leigh Welborn Ambruso just sent me your Cockerham file.This made my dogs very unhappy since they expected to go for their regular morning run.But because of your file, this didn't happen.(Even though I told them I'd make it up to them, they're still pouting.)
See, the problem is: Your Cockerham research was so compelling that I was stuck to my computer screen for several hours.Something else.I've been researching and compiling Wilburn and related families for over fifteen years now. Subsequently, I've reviewed thousands of family files put together by other researchers.Yours is the VERY best!I just cannot say enough good things about your work.You not only tell a good story, providing tons of history, in the process,you also supply documents and cite your sources.
As you might recall (Welborn/Wilburns married into families who married into Cockerham families)I, too, have Cockerham ancestors.Cockerham/East/Fitzpatric guys.
Most interesting to learn of Cockerham hamlet in Lincolnshire.Doomsday book also notes a 'Welborn' hamlet in Lincolnshire.
One other little comment.Capt Dale (noted in your narrative) who brought over a large number of new settlers to Jamestown, VA(mostly German servants) is viewed by most historians as a bloody tyrant.Worse!Eye witness accounts claim that Daleestablished rules that were so brutual that any breaking of rules meant torture of the worse degree.Everyone was ordered to witnesses these punishments.And yes, he has been credited with shaping up the colony but did so by fear ofpunishment of slow death by torture.
Larry, a very big thank you and sincere note of appreciation for your wonderful work!A true gift that will keep on giving.
Warmest regards,
Vikky Wilburn Anders in San Diego
