!It is my contention, Corbet Cochran Jr, that Jemima, wife of William remarried Elder Humphrey Cockerham after the death of William. I have no documentation to prove this contention, but the area in which these individuals lived (VA) and the customs of the time and the unusuallness of the names involved lead me to suspect this as being fact. It is certian they knew each other.
