Biography
| Name | John Cockrill was also known as John ("The Emigrant") Cockrill. | |
| Anecdote | From the military records of the Dominion of Virginia, it appears that John Cockeril (who is said to have come to Vir- ginia with Gen. Braddock), enlisted in Capt. Henry Harrison's company, October 8, 1756, being aged thirty years; height, five feet ten inches; a planter of Richmond County. This was under Lieut. -Gov. Robert Dinwiddle's call for Virginia volunteers for the French and Indian war. There is very strong presumption that he was identical with the John Cockerell (or Cockerill) who came to Virginia and married Deborah Fox, before (or early in) 1757, which event he did not long survive, leaving a son John. His widow married David Collingsworth, who,dying, left a son Edmund. By her third husband, Kells,she had no> issue. She died at the home of her son, Edmund Col- lingsworth, in Davidson County, Tenn. She was descended from the English Fox family; her mother was an Allison, and she was refated to the Claibornes, Daingerfields, and other old Virginia families. (For the English Fox family, vide Burke's "Peerage," and -'Landed Gentry.") There is doubt about her given name; it may have been Barbara or Thebia.1 | |
