• Notes

  this is a guess at her parents based on the 1785 deed that follows === Contributed by Ralph D. Smith There are undocumented claims that Philip's wife Mary was Mary Adams. See the Mar. 1785 record below for a discussion of the Adams family. Mar. 1785 - Fauquier Co., Va. Deeds. Thomas Smith and his wife Elizabeth [nee Adams] lease 50 acres to Philip Cooksey for the term of 29 years, beginning at Francis Ash's and Smith's corners to the road called Adams. Philip Cooksey signs his name. Sources: (1) Alcock, John P., "Fauquier Families, 1759-1799," p. 75, and (2) Gott, John K., "Fauquier County, Virginia Deeds, 1778-1785," p. 92.
