Clara Rodgers one cow & calf. I give unto my two little grandchildren, children of E.B. Praytor a two year old cow brute a piece.

COCKERHAM'S. December 16, 1846. Wm. Cockerham. Witt: E. Dowdle. Ack. in December 1846 court. Registered January 9, 1847. The first William is a about 10 years older than the 2nd William. The William born ca. 1769, married as his 2nd wife Betsy Stuart. E.B. Praytor married a daughter of William Cockerham and E, B; Praytor mother was Nancy Stuart, cousin of Betsy Stuart Cockerherham.
