I was baptized in Shropshire, England, in 1602, a son of John and Elizabeth Cocke, and came to Virginia probably before I turned 30. I set myself up as a tobacco planter first on 3,000 acres on the James in present-day Chesterfield County. Successful here, I later added more land.
My first wife was John Browne's widow, Temperance Baley. Her son, John, lived with us and we added two sons and a daughter of our own. Mr. Walter Aston served with me in the Virginia House of Burgesses and I married his daughter, Mary, after Temperance died. We had four sons. To be sure my name was perpetuated, I gave the name Richard to two sons - one by each wife. Mr. Harry S Truman was one of my descendants.
Not only did I serve in the House of Burgesses, I was also a county justice, militia colonel, and tobacco viewer. A tobacco viewer helped regulate quality and control production of our colony's most important crop.
When I died in my sixties, I owned several plantations, thousands of acres of land, and a grist mill. "Bremo," "Curles," and "Malvern Hills" remained in my family for several generations.
As I willed, my family buried my body in the orchard next to my dear first wife "according to the usual solemnities of the Church of England."
He was possibly the Richard Cocke mentioned as the purser of the Thomas and John 24 December 1627.
Richard Cocke represented Henrico County in the Virginia House of Burgesses (1644, 1654-5) and was likely the Richard Coxe who had represented Weyanoke as early as 1632. He was a viewer of tobacco for Curles, Bremo, and Turkey Island 6 January 1639/40 and lieutenant colonel of Henrico County. He was also county justice in 1657.
