Steven Day posted on Genforum in 2008:
"It has been a year since my article on the Origins of Richard Cocke appeared in the Magazine of Virginia Genealogy [Vol. 45, No. 3 - August 2007]. My agreement with the publishers allows me to post the article one year after the original publication. I have posted the article on my web page:
http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/d/a/y/Steven-Day-Mukilteo/index.html
"Over a year of research went into finding Richard Cocke's origins in England. This began with a legal document showing that Thomas Cocke (son of Richard Cocke) identified himself as from 'Pick-Thorn Farm in the County of Henrico' (reported by a James Southall in 1935). I then researched the Cockes in Pickthorn, England. I found many Cockes in baptismal records, marriage records, burial records, last wills and testaments, legal documents, and church tithe records. Many of these documents were written in Old English, so I had to learn to read this. (Many of the letters do not resemble our modern alphabet.)
"I found five people named Richard Cocke and showed that four of these were not the Richard Cocke who came to Virginia. The fifth Richard Cocke was the same Richard Cocke who came to Virginia. It is interesting to note that Richard named many of his children after his relatives in England: Richard, Thomas, William, John, and Elizabeth."

[23613] Find A Grave memorial 71940368 offers: "Sir Miles Stapleton of Bedale (or of Cotherstone) KG (1320?-1364) was an English knight, one of the Knights Founder of the Order of the Garter. He was the eldest son of Gilbert de Stapleton, knt. (d. 1321), and the grandson of Miles de Stapleton (d. 1314). His mother was Matilda (b. 1298), also called Agnes, elder daughter and coheiress of Brian FitzAlan, lord of Bedale, Askham Bryan, and Cotherstone. Through his paternal line, he was a great-grandson of Dervorguilla of Galloway, mother of John Balliol, King of Scotland, and a descendant of the Bruces by Laderia, daughter of Peter III de Brus of Skelton and grandmother of Sir Gilbert. Sir Miles Stapleton of Bedale should not be confused with Sir Miles Stapleton of Haddlesey (c.1318-1372), occasionally identified as le seigneur. Only an infant at the death of his father, he was at the siege of Tournai (1340) with his younger brother Brian Stapleton, and then fought in Brittany during the War of Breton Succession. He was probably at the siege of Calais in 1347. He participated in three tournaments between October 1347 and January 1348, at Bury St Edmunds, Eltham, and Windsor, after which he was described as a knight of the chamber in the Wardrobe accounts. In October 1351 Stapleton joined the newly knighted William Latimer abroad. In 1354 he participated in an embassy to Pope Innocent VI requesting intervention in the Anglo-French war. Stapleton joined Henry Lancaster's raid across Normandy in 1356 in support of Philippe de Navarre, whom he served in 1358 as a messenger. In June 1361 he received an annuity of 100l. from the exchequer for his unwearied labors and laudable services.'[1]. He may have been the Miles Stapleton who was one of the witnesses to the treaty of Brétigny in 1360. In March 1361 and August 1362 he served on commissions of peace with the Earl of Suffolk. In January 1363 Stapleton was one of a group of English knights recorded as borrowing money from local merchants at Thorn in Poland, most likely during a Prussian crusade. He died in December of 1364, possibly, as the family historian conjectures, of wounds received in the battle of Auray (29 September 1364)." Cf.
