NOTES FROM A TELEPHONE CALL WITH FRANK E. COCKERHAM 10/18/97

Frances, and Chesley were in court to acknowledge a debt in Caroline Co. VA. in 1757. Then they show up in Halifax Co. in 1767 where Daniels will is being processed and Humphrey and Chesly are summoned to court to show cause why the administration of Daniels estate shouldn't be as otherwise stated. The conjunture of the two events make it highly likely that they are the same individuals that came from Caroline Co. Frances came from Caroline Co. Order books. The original courthouse burned and the deedbooks were destroyed. The orderbooks survived.
