Message Board Post:
I'm looking for information on a Susanna Cocks who married a Hamlin Bryant per the Virginia Marriages 1746-1850 database on ancestry.com. The family lived in Surry County, VA.
By the 1850 census, Hamlin was married to an Elizabeth Davis, so I can't say when Susanna was born or when she died. I do know the family was in Surry County in 1830, and per the 1830 census she was listed as between 30 and 40 years old (making her birth date between 1790 and 1800). She's likely closer to 30 as Hamlin was listed as between 20 and 30 years old.
There are other Cocks/Cocke families listed in Surry County in the 1802 census, so it's likely she is from there. But I don't know this to be true.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Scott
