I'd respectfully point out the unlikelihood that this couple would have four daughters named Elizabeth, three daughters named Mary, and two sons named Luke. ;)

Book Cockes and Cousins, Volume 1, Descendants of Richard Cocke gives a single daughter of William named Mary, not two daughters named Mary. Book is by Leonie Doss Cocke and Virginia Webb Cocke. Available on FamilySearch.org. Highly annotated.

Can anyone provide a source for the marriage to Jacob Smith? If not, I propose that the link to Jacob be removed.

Cocke-1072 and Cocke-199 appear to represent the same person because: matching name, family, times
posted on Cocke-199 (merged) by Michael Yates
Cocke-199 and Cocke-16 appear to represent the same person because: Same person. Assuming that birth year of 1670 is correct, as there are research notes and sources. Jacob Smith as spouse is incorrect (see comments below).
posted by Leila Keller
Cocke-199 and Cocke-16 do not represent the same person because: Different spouse
posted by Sally Stovall
Cocke-199 and Cocke-16 are not ready to be merged because: DOB
posted by Michael Yates
Cocke-199 and Cocke-16 appear to represent the same person because: Same name, same father, same husband, similar death date
posted by Neal Parker
Cocke-199 and Cocke-16 are not ready to be merged because: Birth years are 20 years apart, deaths 1 year. Needs more research.
posted by Leila Keller
Cocke-16 and Cocke-199 appear to represent the same person because: Same father, he had 2 wives, unsure which wife was Mary's mother, so unsure date of birth. Husband was Obadiah Smith, per "The Cox Family in America", not Jacob, as Jacob was negro and intermarriage was illegal in the day.
posted on Cocke-199 (merged) by Deborah David
Mary's spouse is Obadiah-3583. There's an extra Obadiah listed above. The children in the bio are correct, but not in the links above. I am guessing what happened here is that Mary Cocke and Obadiah Smith's son Obadiah's info has been mixed into this profile.
posted by D. Brenner
Cooke-2360 and Cocke-16 appear to represent the same person because: same name but different spelling; same spouse; same three children; B/D info are similar = same individual
posted by [Living Doughty]
I would suggest that Mary's DOB 1660 is a bit early, her father was born 1655. Check the link to "Genealogy of the Cocke Family of Virginia." The Virginia Magazine of History and Biography 3, no. 4 (1896): 405-14. http://www.jstor.org/stable/4241922. (p. 411) She is listed as daughter of William marrying Obediah Smith, no DOB is given.

The data I have was given to me by another East researcher and he did not provide sources. Sorry, but I'm just no help.

There are several children in this family who were born before the date of the parents' marriage, and there are a few others who would have been born when the parents were in their 90s. Does anyone have definitive information to help sort this out?
