Richard Cocke, Sr. was born Sep 5, 1602 in Stotenden, Shropshire, England. He came to the colonies, probably when he was about 30, as a special envoy from King Charles I. He was the Commander of the Henrico County Militia and was several times a member of the House of Burgesses. He was also a tobacco planter and originally patented more than 3,000 acres on the James River in what is now Chesterfield County on March 6, 1636.

Richard Cocke "The Younger" was born to Richard Cocke, Sr. and Mary Elizabeth Aston near Oldman's Creek in Charles City County, Colony of Virginia. Richard was called "The Younger" because his father had already named another child "Richard" with his first wife, Temperance Bailey, with whom he had three children before her death. In order to identify the two sons, one was called "The Elder" and one was called "The Younger."
Plaque about Cockes:
"Richard Cocke. The immigrant and founder of his family in Virginia. Born in England. Patented land here March 6, 1636. Near this spot he made his home and called it "Bremo." Here he lived and his descendants after him for six generations and here he and some of them lie buried. His son Thomas lived hereby at "Malvern Hills." His other children were Richard the Elder who inherited Bremo, John, William, Richard the Younger, Elizabeth and Edward."
Richard Cocke Sr. resigned the House of Burgesses in 1655 and became Sheriff. Eventually he owned about 10,000 acres in Henrico County, all received in exchange for his having transported about 220 people to the Virginia colonies. Richard Sr. mostly lived at Bremo Plantation, which he received in about 1636.
Richard, Sr. married twice, first to Temperance Bailey in 1637 at Bremo. They had three children:
Elizabeth
Thomas
Richard "The Elder"
After Temperance died, Richard Sr. married Elizabeth Aston, daughter of Walter and Hannah Aston. There were 4 children from this union:
John Cocke "of Old Man's Creek"
William Cocke "of the Low Ground"
Richard Cocke "The Younger"
Edward Cocke
Richard Cocke "The Younger" Married someone named Elizabeth, who is shown to be Elizabeth Littleberry, but more substantiating documentation is needed. Richard and Elizabeth are said to have had at least two children:
1) Richard born about 1670, who was married to a woman named Alice (last name unknown.) He appears in the records of Charles City County as "Richard Cocke Jr." with wife Alice.
2) Ann Mary Cocke, who married Robert Bolling II in 1705/1706 at Kippax, Charles City Co., Colony of Virginia.
SOME of Charles City County's records are missing, therefore the descendants of Richard Cocke "The Younger" and Elizabeth (possibly "Littleberry") need to be further documented. His ancestry, however, is not in question.
