DC lists her death as before Jan 20 1746-47 in Henrico--why? [Date of her Will]
DEATH: Goochland Co. OB 7, p. 402; Jordan vs. Cox in 1754 Richard Perrin received a paten t on 14 Mar 1672 for 740 acres, 1 rod, 24 perches. [Va Patent Bk 6:445].
474 acres of this wa s called "World's End" and had been granted Mathew Edlow on 2 Oct 1656. In 1691, he deeded t o Thomas Farrar andKatherine his wife (who was said Richard's daughter) 256 acres of "World' s End" "where I now live" bounded by the [James] River and William Ballow.

In his will date d 16 Mar 1694/5, Richard Perrin bequeathed "my house and land commonly called "World's End" , 400 acres with 200 acres fronting river, to my dear wife Katherine for life, and at her death to daughter Sarah. . . ." This daughter Sarah married William Cocke 2 Dec 1695.William C ocke made his will 5 Nov 1717 and left "all my lands" to his son William. However, William died without issue (having had children, but they predeceased him). His widow, Judith (Stewart) Cocke married 2nd to Francis Redford and received her dower in the above "World's End". The balance went to William Cocke's sisters: Temperance (who m. Abraham Bayly); Catherine (wh o m. John Burton) but died young leaving an eldest son John; Mary (m. John Redford); and Sarah (a half-sister who m. 1st William Cox & 2nd Thomas Jordan).Judith, widow of Wm. Cocke, no w wife of Francis Redford, relinquished her rights in the tract to William Randolph on 5 Au g 1747. [Henrico Will & Deed Bk 1737-1750, p. 297]Rev. William Finney who had married a sis ter of William Cocke (owner of 256 acres of World's End by virtue of his marriage to Katharin e Perrin) ended up with part of "World's End" which he bequeathed his son William in his wil l dated 3 Feb 1726.[Henrico Will & Deed Bk 1725-1737, p. 104].William Finney, the son, sold a small piece of land (possibly part of World'd End) to Abraham Bayly which is mentioned i n a deed from Peter Cock Bailey of Mecklenburg County, VA to Francis Pearce in 1788 which tra nsferrs two tracts, the secondof which is "five acres, being the parcel of land purchased o f Willliam Finne and adjoining the first." [Henrico Dd Bk 2:663] The first tract was 47 acre s whereon Abraham Bailey, grandfather of said Peter Cocke Bailey died. It began "on Cornelius 's Cr on S side and thence a south course of marked trees along Col. Heth's line to Peyton Ra ndolph's line, thence along the said Randolph's line, a northeast course to William Gile's li ne, thence along the said Gile's line of marked trees a northwest course til it joins the lan d that was Joseph Bailey's; thence along the said line to where it begun."[Henrico Deed B k 1737-1750, p. 297.] On 26 Sept 1747, William Finney Gent to William Randolph, Gent. of Gooc hland Co for L960 [3 tracts]:1. 265 acres which was purchased of Thomas Farrar and Katharin e his wife and John & Joseph Farrar their sons by William Finney, decd. father of the said Wi lliam Finney conveyed to him by deed dated March 10, 1723.-2. also 400 acres, adj the 265 , purchased fr John Radford and Mary his wife, Thomas Jordan and Sarah his wife, and Abraha m Bailey and Temperance his wife--the above sd. lying on the N side of James River in Henric o Co and was commonlycalled "World's End."-3. also 371 acres in same Co. adj Wm Eppes, th e same being pt of a tract granted Thomas Cocke by patent dated Apr 20, 1687 and by him devis ed to Mary Finney, late mother of said William Finney. Sept 26, 1747. THIS 3rd tract is NOT P ARTOF WORLD'S END.So in 1747 William Randolph owned almost all, if not all of the origina l "World's End." For a time I thought it was a part of Chatsworth, but after seeing a surve y of Chatsworth in the first plat book of Henrico County, I could see that Chatsworth was to o far north and it was not on Cornelius Creek as World's End definitely was. The 1656 patent of Matthew Edlow referred to in Richard Perrin's patent does not appear in the Virginia Lan d Patent Books. The patent for Richard Perrin's land is mostly undecipherable. Most of the su rrounding patents do not give accurate metes and bounds--just vaguely states "Westerly into th e Woods" etc.

Book an ancestry 'Historical Southern families-vol 6" makes this Sarah to be his eldest daughter by a first wife, name unknown.

The preponderance of evidence that Temperance Baley was indeed the widow of John Browne necessitates revisions about Richard Cocke of Bremo which follow:

Richard Cocke (1602-1665) Born in the Parish of Stottensden, Shropshire, England; immigrated to the Colony of Virginia ca. 1627; resided in Charles City Co., until ca. 1638, when he moved to Bremo, Henrico Co., where he died and is buried. In 1632 he represented Weyanoke, Charles City Co. in the Grand Assembly; in 1644 and in 1654--55, he represented Henrico County. Married, first, ca 1632, Temperance Baley (Bailey, Bayley) (1617 possibly ca 1652) daughter of ___ __ and Sisley ([Reynolds]_?) Baley Jordan- Farrar
Their first child was THOMAS COCKE (1638/9-1697), who in 1672 referred to himself as 'Thomas Cocke of Pickthorn Farm in the County of Henrico."

Richard married Temperance Bailey/Bayley Est 1632. Temperance (daughter of Thomas Bailey/Baley and Cecily Phippen Reynolds) was born Est 1618, Jamestown, James City, Virginia Colony; died Abt 1651, Bremo, Henrico Co., Virginia Colony. [Group Sheet]

Name:
After King James of Scotland mounted the English throne, he gave his approval for attempts to be made to colonize the New World, and granted charters to the newly organized London Company. The London Company offered each subscriber who would pay twelve pounds and twelve shillings the following: "Lord of 200 acres of land which would be given to him and his heirs forever." Several members of the Bailey family held large shares in this company. The fact that Temperance Bailey, at age 3, had 200 acres of land in her name, might have been her inheritance from her deceased father. Patent to Temperance Bailey, Sept. 20, 1620. The land of John Rolfe and Pocahontas, on the south side of the James River, bordered that of Samuel Jordan, Temperance Baley (Bailey), and Capt. Woodleif in 1620.
