Personal Information    |    Sources    |    All    |    PDF

  • Name Mary Cocke 
    • Mary Cocke of 'Malvern Hills' married John Wayles. Her parents are unknown in 2014. Several Mary's in the lines of William Cocke are married to Obiadiah Smith, and another to Richard Eppes. Two other daughters are attributed to Mary Cocke and John Wayles; Tabitha and Ann. The second child, Elizabeth, was born 24 February 1752; Tabitha was born 16 November 1753; and Anne was born 26 August 1756. Jefferson notes that Wayles' second wife died, but not the date; obviously sometime between August 1756 and 26 January 1760, when Wayles married his third wife, Elizabeth Skelton

      Wayles' second marriage, according to Jefferson's notes, was to a woman of the Cocke family (no first name is given). The first child of this marriage, Sarah, did not survive to adulthood. The second child, Elizabeth, was born 24 February 1752; Tabitha was born 16 November 1753; and Anne was born 26 August 1756. Jefferson notes that Wayles' second wife died, but not the date; obviously sometime between August 1756 and 26 January 1760, when Wayles married his third wife, Elizabeth Skelton (incidentally the widow of Reuben Skelton, brother of Martha Wayles' first husband Bathurst Skelton). Elizabeth Skelton Wayles died a little more than a year after her marriage to John Wayles, on 10 February 1761; they had no children.[1]
