Surnames: Cocks, Cox, Wood Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/WBC.2ACI/2828.2.1.1 Message Board Post: Dear Ms Jakes: After looking at web sights I believe you are correct in asumming your Wm. was s/o Valentine and Lucy Henry. Are you connected with a message board that allows only one answer? I find Valentine is s/o Henry and Martha Cox (Cocke) . Henry came frrom London, Eng and the Coxes did ,too. Cocx is in my husbands family . I have found a lengthy article in Genealogy .com which I will try to send you. If you do not get it let me know and I will send it by mail.It is about Cocks,but seversl mentions of Valentine and Major Abraham Wood which some say is of our line but he too, came from Eng as a 12 yr old orphan. Sometime it helps to go at a problem by the back way. Virginia
