William COCKEY

  General Notes:

His wife's name is listed as Sarah when he died, and not Elizabeth so there is a bit of doubt that he was married to Elizabeth Underwood, though Sarah could have been his 2nd wife. There is no doubt that he was at one time married to a daughter of Thomas because the following deed shows relationship between the offspring of the next generation. "In 1741/2, Samuel Underwood, son of Samuel Underwood deeded the land named "Middle Neck" to Thomas Cockey (son of William Cockey). Samuel called Thomas Cockey his "kinsman". This abstract was from Robert Barnes, Baltimore County, Maryland Deed Abstracts 1659-1750, (Willow Bend Books, 2002), p. 138 as provided by Jane Beekman. ¹

William married Elizabeth UNDERWOOD, daughter of Thomas UNDERWOOD and Elizabeth UNKNOWN. (Elizabeth UNDERWOOD was born about 1661.)
