Carla...Doodes Minor md. Elizabeth Montague...not Cocke. See the following website for the proof.
http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~bianco/Resources/Wedding.html
Paul Goodloe was partially correct about Doodes and Elizabeth except he didn't find the info about her being a Montague. He did say "...if she was a Coche(Cocke, she became so by a second marriage to a man of that name."
He also gave info from the book "Origins of the Cocke families of VA" which said: "Nicholas Cock md. Jane, widow of Bartholomew Curtis. The had Jane who married 1st Rice Jones and 2nd John Smith and Maurice who md. Elizabeth, widow of Doodes Minor."

Carla Goodloe's Family
Goodloe Book says: "There is no doubt that Minor Doodes is the father of Doodes Minor and that they came from Holland and were naturalized in 1673 (Henings statutes). The confusion of the last name switch has caused much trouble in this line. They were in Virginia as early as 1655. Surname could very well have been Doodes and not Minor but the switch occured."
Wills of his father (1679) and mother (1686) both point to a son Doodes Minor. Even the parents have it switched in the records. -Carla
Paul M. Goodloe gives his wife as Elizabeth Cocke after much research while other Goodloe researchers previous have her down as Garrett or Coche (which fits if she married Maurice Coche/ Koch/Cock).
His own will is dated 13 Nov 1694.
transposed his Dutch name, Mindeart Doodes
