Elizabeth:
I would doubt that Elizabeth Cockerill was a step child or half sister to Presley, simply because of the way you indicated the will read.I have been unable, however, to find any recording of the birth of Elizabeth Cockerill, or for that matter, her marriage to William Butler.In the IGI I noticed a William Butler married to an Elizabeth [no last name given] in Prince George, VA in 1735 - and that seems to fit just nicely.It helps to discover that there was a William Butler born between 1710/1715 in Prince George, VA., and assuming a man being married to a woman of approximately the same age, it would indicate that he wife Elizabeth would have been born about 1712/1717.
This, however, is not proof, and unfortunately, I can offer you no further suggestions.I do wish you continued luck and success in your family search.
