Martha's parents were Samuel Cockayne and Elizabeth Riggs. Do you have anything in your files? I have located the graves of Samuel and Elizabeth in Burlington but I cannot find anything on Richard and Martha. I did see the 1876 court document in which Samuel Cockayne signed over my husband's Grandfather to his daughter and her husband because Richard and Martha were deceased. But IA did not require death certificates until 1880 -- Thank You
