  === Contributed by Ralph D. Smith Feb. 18, 1800 - Andrew Cooksey m. Sarah Perrie Feb. 18, 1800 in Prince George's Co., Md. Source: Brown, Helen W., "Index of Marriage Licenses, Prince George's County, Maryland, 1777-1886," p. 53. Andrew Cooksey and Sarah Perrie had a dau. Margaret Perrie Cooksey. Mar. 2, 1810 - The Prince George's Co., Md. Inventory of Andrew Cooksey. Inventory value (includes Negro slave Allen): $584.35. Administrator: Sarah Cooksey filed the inventory June 26, 1810. Source: Prince George1s Co., Md. Inventories, Liber TT No. I, p. 373. 1810 - Andrew died before the 1810 Census of Prince George1s Co. was taken. His widow Sarah is believed to be the S. Cooksey in the 1810 Census of Washington and Prince Frederick Hundreds, Prince George's Co., Md., p. 16, as follows: 10000-00100-00. Comment: Sarah is only 2 dwellings away from James Cooksey in this Census and the Census is not in alphabetical order (they are separated by W. Hooper.) At this writing it is believed that this James Cooksey is Sarah's stepson, not brother-in-law of the same name. See the special section below entitled "Cookseys in the 1810 Census of Prince George's June 26, 1810 - The results of the Andrew Cooksey estate sale are filed in Prince George's Co. by Sarah Cooksey. Total sale proceeds: $538.27. Most of the articles were purchased by Sarah Cooksey. Other purchasers were Margaret Cooksey (bed), Mary Cooksey (bed) and James Cooksey (harrow.) Source: Prince George's Co., Md. Inventories, Liber TT No.1, p. 374. Feb. 22, 1814 - The final Prince George's Co., Md. administration account of Andrew Cooksey. Administratrix: Sarah Cooksey. Balance of previous account: $446.44. Payments made by the estate (including a payment to son-iolaw Elijah Ellis): $91.75. Estate balance: $354.66. Distribution of the balance: 1/3 to the widow; the residue to be equally divided among the deceased's 6 children [not named. ] On Feb. 27, 1816, the administratrix Sarah Cooksey made oath that this was a true account. Source: Prince George's Co., Md. Administration Accounts, Liber TT No.2, p. 133. Comment: This administration account shows that Sarah's share of the estate balance is $118.22 and each of the 6 children's share is $39.40. The following quotation is from Mel Cooksey (no date or source given): "From the estate file of Andrew Cooksey, deceased ... William W. and Albert Cooksey signed for their share of $39.40 each as sons of Andrew. Margaret Cooksey, dau. of Andrew Cooksey, filed in Court a petition against the wife. Sarah, to settle the estate." This record shows that Sarah had not remarried by Feb. 1816. Is she the Sarah Cooksey who m. Hugh Perrie in Prince George's Co. in July 1817? Is she the Sarah Cooksey who m. William Smith in Prince George's Co. in Sep. 1817?
