Subject: Judge Henry Cockrum family- new data
A family bible left to me by my father seems to have been originally owned
by Judge Henry Cockrum and his wife Rutha Johnson Cockrum. The front pages,
now loose and damaged, contain handwritten entries recording several
marriages, the births of thirteen children to Henry and Rutha, and many of
their deaths. With help from other sources I have managed to decipher most
of the information. One unambiguous entry shows Cave Cockrum’s middle name
to be Johnson, his mother’s maiden name. Many dates are clear and some
disagree with previously published information. The pages also include
detail on the family of their son Mordaki Cockrum, and a few entries about
the family of his daughter, Mack Dona Cockrum Berry, my grandmother.
