There are errors. For example, the wife of the William Cocke who died in l7l7 was NOT Sarah Dennis. She was Sarah Perrin. They married in Hnerico, VA on November 2, l695. The children listed as children of Wm Cocke and Dennis are their children. There is ample documentation showing that wife of the William Cocke who died in l7l7 in Henrico was Sarah Perrin.
