The will of 400, JOSEPH THOMAS was witnessed by both MICAJAH THOMAS and
MOURNING (CRUDUP) THOMAS, (JOSEPH's wife), and to further accentuate the
close relationship between these parties, the records show that in 1784,
in NASH COUNTY, when the will of RICHARD THOMAS was admitted to probate,
MICAJAH THOMAS, JR. was named as the Executer.

Hi Ted,
What a great story! I believe it is safe to say that these families were
very closely related! (Smiling)
I was hoping you could shed some light on the mother of my Drewry Pridgen.
As you probably know, he fought in the American Revolution, and I want to
submit him to the Sons of the American Revolution. I am already a member but
like to submit as many other ancestors as possible to help others gain
membership in the SAR and the DAR. Any additional help would be appreciated.
I don't connect to the PRIDGEN family until Selah Pridgen, the daughter of
Drewry, married Archibald Cockrell. Their son, Arch Cockerell was my
mother's grandfather.
Thanks for your help!

Subject: Jeremiah Vardeman Cockrell
Recently while reviewing the Cornell University Making of America material I have come across quite a bit of material on Jeremiah Vardeman Cockrell; While I am not directly related (I don't think) I am interested in his part in the Rebellion. In my data I have several individuals by this name and wonder if someone could help pinpoint (with birth/death dates and parentage) which one was Colonel Cockrell.
If you haven't seen it yet check out The Making of America, after finally figuring how to find indexes, I have found it very interesting! http://moa.cit.cornell.edu/MOA/MOA-JOURNALS2/WARO.html

Good Morning,
The Cottrell, Cochran, and Cockrell families have had interchageable
names thoughout the years. One of my favorite stories is one which you
may find interesting. One day I was at a branch office of the National
Archives and was searching for one particular family of one of our
members. I was searching for a James Hamill and found that name fairly
easily. I then started the search for the Cockrel connection. My wife
was with me and was searching for some names on her family. I showed
her the name that I found with pride. She asked what name I was looking
for. Directly above the Hamill name was my other name but spelled
Cochran. These names were found in offical census records. How easy it
is to overlook these name connection.
I mention this story because I have assumed the responsibility for the
maintaince of the COTTRELL resource page and have expanded both to show
a "window" of three months for the entries to be shown on the page.
Those that have been on the Cockrell page only had a one month window.
I welcome this connection between the different family names. It is a
way of "attacking" our research from three different directions. Please
use the the resourse pages to you advantage. Post to either or both. A
resource page is available for the COCHRAN page. That will give us a
three pronged attack.
By expanding the numbers of people researching the closely related names
we may be able to "knock down some of the stone wall" that keep us from
our goals.
The resource page will allow the user to thread "tie together" those
persons with similiar interests.
Thier are 7 catagories "pages" to view and enter data. They are
queries, bible-records, biographies, deeds, obituaries, pensions, and
wills. The resource pages are found at the following addresses:
http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/surnames/c/o/COTTRELL/querieshttp://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/surnames/c/o/COTTRELL/bible-re...http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/surnames/c/o/COTTRELL/biographieshttp://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/surnames/c/o/COTTRELL/deedshttp://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/surnames/c/o/COTTRELL/obituarieshttp://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/surnames/c/o/COTTRELL/pensionshttp://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/surnames/c/o/COTTRELL/wills
To use the resourse you must first login. This is done by putting in
your email address at the bottom of the page. You will be able to post
your information or query in the space provided. We have found that for
larger documents such as bible records or bios you can use the "cut and
paste" method.
If anyone has any questions please feel free to contact me at the above
address. I hope to be able to answer any questions or concerns.

Hi Rod,
Yes, most of what you posted is the same as what I have, but do not have any
documentation on most of the data. Regarding the portion of your message
shown above; My John Cockrell, born about 1756, who married Nancy Anne
Winstead is as far as I have documented. The rest of the line is
speculation, based on what others have posted.
I have no documentation that the parents of my John Cockrell were Thomas
Cockrell, born 1720, and his wife Elizabeth. These names came from the nice
people on the Cockrell list, primarily Tom Cockerel and Jack Olson. They
also show that the parents of this Thomas was Samuel, born about 1671 and
Elizabeth Cockrell. They also show that another Thomas Cockrell, born about
was the father of Samuel Cockrell. I am looking for any info and
documentation on these three generations. Any help would be appreciated!
Regarding the Winstead family, I show that the parents of my Nancy Anne
Winstead were Joseph Winstead, born about 1725 in Northumberland County,
Virginia, who married Suzanna about 1758. Their children were: Nancy Anne,
George, Sarah, Elizabeth, Susanna, and Joseph Winstead.
I show the next generation as Samuel Winstead, Jr. born October 25, 1701 who
was apparently married 3 or 4 times. The names of his wives were: Elizabeth
first wife, don't know the names of his second or third wife, but his 4th
wife was Winnifred VanLandingham. Apparently the mother of my Joseph
Winstead, born about 1725, was the second wife whose name is unknown.
The parents of Samuel Winstead, Jr. were Samuel Winstead, Sr. born about
1658, who married Elizabeth. Both were born in England. His will was
probated November 16, 1726 in St Stephens Parish, Northumberland County,
Virginia, and his wife apparently died before him, as she is not mentioned in
his will.
Hope this helps you in some way!
Best Regards,
Tom Green
