== Biography ==
}'''Temperance (Baley) Cooke'''[http://www.jamestowne.org/bacon---baley.html Jamestowne Society]: Baley, Temperance - A405; born 1617, died ca.1652, Henrico: (Muster of 1624/5); wife of John Browne and Richard Cocke. ''accessed 18 June 2019''
Temperance was born about 1616-17 at Jamestowne, or more specifically [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jordan_Point,_Virginia Jordan's Journey], Charles Cittie, Jamestown Colony.
Temperance Baley owned land in 1620, when she was about 3 years old, as shown by this land description: Samuel Jordan was granted land including "388 acs. in or near upon Sandys his hundred, towards land of Temperance Baley, W. upon Capt. Woodlief etc. To have &c. Yeilding & paying to the sd. Treasurer & Company &c. Provided &c. Given at James City 10 Dec. 1620 &c."Nugent, Nell Marion, (1934) ''Cavaliers and Pioneers: Abstracts of Virginia Land Patents and Grants, 1623-1800, 1st ed.'' Richmond: Dietz Print Co., [https://archive.org/stream/cavalierspioneer00nuge#page/266/mode/2up Archive.org accessed 8 Oct 2016] (Page 266).
To explain how a 3-year-old owned land, it is assumed she was probably the daughter of someone who died before 20 September 1620 (the date of her inheritance of 200 acres "in or near Sandy's his hundred"),Southall, James P. C., (Oct., 1943) "Links in a Chain." ''The Virginia Magazine of History and Biography.'' Virginia Historical Society [http://www.jstor.org/stable/4245260 JSTOR.org accessed 4 October 2016] (Vol. 51, No. 4, pp. 380-393, citing p 384). and that her (assumed) mother was Cicely (Unknown) Bayley (later also Jordan Ferrar).Southall, James P. C. (Jan., 1942) "Cicely Jordan Farrar and Temperance Baley." ''The Virginia Magazine of History and Biography.'' Virginia Historical Society [http://www.jstor.org/stable/4245145 JSTOR.org accessed 4 October 2016] (Vol. 50, No. 1, pp. 74-80).
Temperance is listed in the "Lists of the Living and Dead in Virginia, Febr 16th, 1623" among the living as "Temperance Baylife" (p 171)Hotten, John Camden, (1874) ''The Original Lists of Persons of Quality ....'' London: Hotten, [https://archive.org/stream/originallistsofp00hottuoft#page/222/mode/2up Archive.org accessed 4 October 2016] (Pages 171, 209-10, 269). Certainly the unusual spelling was a transcriber's interpretation of a flourish at the end of her name (as was often done in handwriting of the time). This spelling is seen nowhere else. Temperance's name, in this list of the living, is followed by the name, Sislye Jordan.
Temperance is again listed at Jordans Jorney. Charles Cittie:
The muster goes on to list servants.
Based on these few records, researchers generally assume that Temperance was a daughter of [[Unknown-220794|Cecily/Sisley (Unknown)]] (who is assumed to have married to (1) Unknown Bailey, (2) Samuel Jordan, and (3) William Ferrar). No actual christening or marriage records are extant.
=== Marriages ===
Temperance married twice.
* She married, as her 1st, to [[Browne-477|John Browne]] who died by 5 June 1632,Possibly married c1630, Charles Cittie: "most records report Temperance as age 13 or 14 at time of marriage, location was likely Jordan's Journey in Charles Cittie where she lived with mother" ~ [[Cooner-46|Barbra Cooner]] (via change explanation of changes made 15 December 2019). when the General Court ordered, "Whereas it appeareth by the account of Richard Cocke that hee hath disbursed 6397 of tobacco for the paymt of John Brownes debts haueinge maried the relicte of the sayd Brown ... [although] evidence is not conclusive, the circumstances suggest that Temperance was the widow Browne when she married Richard Cocke" (p. 88).Dorman, John Frederick, (2004) ''Adventurers of Purse and Person - Virginia - 1607-1624/5, Fourth Edition.'' Baltimore, MD: Genealogical Publishing Company, (Volume One, Families A-F, Pages 88).
* She married as "John Browne's widow," as her 2nd, and as his 1st, to [[Cocke-8|Lieutenant Colonel Richard Cocke]], burgess for Weyanoke, Charles City County in 1632.Southall, James P. C., (Apr., 1936) "Richard Cocke of Bremo and His Children." ''The Virginia Magazine of History and Biography.'' Virginia Historical Society [http://www.jstor.org/stable/4244720 JSTOR.org acccessed 8 October 2016] (Vol. 44, No. 2, pp. 136-151).

Volume VI Cocke of Bremo Pg 11] [https://www.wikitree.com/photo.php/4/48/Bailey-23835-324.jpg Historical Southern Families. Volume VI Cocke of Bremo Pg 12]
About 1632, according to Minutes of the Colonial Council, Richard Cocke married the widow of John Browne and was appointed trustee and guardian of the Browne children. On 5 June 1632, "Whereas it appeareth by the account of Richard Cocke that he hath disbursed ... tobacco for the paymt of John Brownes debts haveinge maried the relicte of sayd Brown..." Further Cocke is to keep some calves for the "use of the Children of the sayd Browne" ... it is likewise ordered by the board that Richard Cocke shall have the use of sayd money towards the bringing upp of the Children untill they Come to age."Cocke, Virginia Webb, "Thomas Cocke of Pickthorn." ''The Virginia Genealogist.'' Washington, DC: J. F. Dorman, [http://www.americanancestors.org/databases/virginia-genealogist-the/image/?pageName=27&volumeId=12085&rId=23630902 AmericanAncestors.org accessed 10 October 2016] NEHGS (Vol 30, Pages 27-28).Richard remarried about 1652 to Mary Aston, which implies the death of Temperance before then.
In addition, on October 10, 1652, a land patent re-issued to Richard Cocke included 100 acres of land due by patent to Temperance Bailey, (patent September 20, 1620).}
=== Children ==='''Children of Temperance Baley and John Browne''' are uncertain - probably include (and may be incomplete):
# Jeremiah Browne
# Temperance Browne
# Sarah Browne; m Samuel Knibb
# possible - John Brown, d before 1677.
The estate of a John Browne of Henrico County was divided by the court on 6 September 1684; among descendants were: Jeremiah Browne, Temperance Browne, and Sarah Browne.''The Virginia Genealogist.'' 30:29 citing Henrico County Wills & Deeds 1677-92, p 281; Henrico County Order Book 1678-93, p 214; Wills & Deeds 1688-97, p 179. The will of Jeremiah Browne mentions his sister, Temperance Batte.
'''Children of Temperance Baley and Richard Cocke:''':(July 1, 1897) "The Cocke Family of Virginia (Henrico)." ''The Virginia Magazine of History and Biography.'' Virginia Historical Society [http://www.jstor.org/stable/4242018 JSTOR.org] (Vol. 5, No. 1, pp. 71-89).Cocke, Leonie and Virginia, ''Cockes and Cousins, Vol I and Vol II''# Thomas Cocke, b Sept 1638, d 1697;* m 1) Margaret or Agnes Powell, 2) Margaret Wood; had 7 known children# Richard Cocke "The Elder", born 10 December 1639, died 20 November 1706, buried at Bremo; married Elizabeth, had 4 known children.
# probably Elizabeth Cocke**
* A deed from 20 August 1672 was made by Thomas Cocke, son of Richard Cocke and Temperance Baley.
** Richard directed that his sons Thomas and Richard pay her £100 at age 17 or marriage.
=== Property ===Temperance inherited 200 acres which were located "just below City Point and a little above Jordan's Journey where Bailey's Creek empties into James River."Tyler, Lyon Gardiner, (1906) ''The cradle of the republic ...'' Richmond: Hermitage Press, [https://archive.org/stream/cradleofrepublic03tyler#page/214/mode/2up Archive.org accessed 14 Nov 2016] (Page 214).
=== Death and Legacy ===We have no record of the death of Temperance. About 1652, her husband Richard Cocke married (2nd) Mary Aston, which implies the death of Temperance before then.
==Research Notes ==There is a connection between Temperance Baley and Arthur Baley. Baley sold 1,000 acres at Henrico County to Robert Hallom's heirs.
Swan's Point at "Four-Mile Tree" was the old homestead of the Cocke family and the ancient residence of the Brownes. (1895) ''William and Mary Quarterly Historical Magazine,'' Vol 4. Williamsburg, VA: [https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=uva.x000236556;view=1up;seq=153 HathiTrust.org accessed 8 Oct 2016] (Vol 4, Page 113 fn).
Is this the family of John Browne???
'''Spelling of maiden name''': Also spelled variously as Bayly, Bailey (and Baylife), but in two of the three primary records we have, the name was spelled "Baley".
Cecily is thought to have married three times - (1) Thomas Baley, (2) Samuel Jordan, and (3) William Farrar.See [[Unknown-220794|Cecily's profile]]. - givingTemperance the following half siblings:
