Thomas also had a son, Richard Cocke, who was baptized on December 13, 1597 in the Parish of Sidbury, which is just over one mile to the northeast of Pickthorn. On this cold winter day, the choice of the Parish of Sidbury was about 1/4 mile closer than the Parish of Stottesdon. It was this Richard Cocke of Pickthorn who would later travel to Virginia.

== Biography ==
Thomas Cocke - He is the son of [[Cocke-207|William Cocke]] and [[Unknown-167496|Elizabeth Unknown]]."England Births and Christenings, 1538-1975", database, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:J79D-7QH : 19 September 2020), Thomas Cocke, 1568. Thomas Cocke's burial was on 4 Aug 1587.


== Disputed Origin ==New evidence shows that the father of Richard Cocke, immigrant to Henrico County, Virginia was actually John Cocke, son of Thomas Cocke, was baptized on 9 Oct 1669 at the parish of Stottesdon, Shropshire England.(1986) ''The Virginia Genealogist.'' (have not yet read this article - it was cited by Steven Day).

The fifth Richard Cocke, son of Thomas Cocke, was baptized in the Parish of Sidbury on 13 December 1597.18[18] Sidbury is one mile from Pickthorn, which is one-fourth mile closer than the Parish of Stottesdon. On a cold December day, one can easily imagine that walking a shorter distance with a baby would be very desirable. Who was this Thomas Cocke? He was not Thomas Cocke, son of John Cocke of Walfurong, baptized in 1616.19[19] He was not Thomas Cocke, son of John Cocke, baptized in 1601.20[20] He was not Thomas Cocke of Pickthorn, buried on 4 August 1587.21[21] This Thomas was the son of William Cocke (died 1582) of Pickthorn. The records for the Parish of Stottesdon also show that Thomas Cocke of Pickthorn had a daughter, Eleanor, baptized on 19 December 1591.22[22] This fifth Richard Cocke fits the profile of Richard Cocke of Henrico County, Virginia.Based upon this new information, we now have Richard Cocke of Virginia (died c1665) baptized in Sidbury, Shropshire, England on 13 December 1597. The son of Thomas Cocke of Pickthorn, he had a sister, Eleanor (born 1691) and grand parents William and Elizabeth Cocke. The last will and testament of his grandfather William (dated 1582) shows that Richard’s uncles and aunt were Richard, William, John, and Margery.23[23] Richard’s great uncle was Thomas Cocke of Pickthorn who died in 1587 and was previously believed (in error) to be Richard’s grandfather. All of this family lived in Pickthorn, Shropshire, England.
