Betty.... I saw your message posted quite some time ago. My husband is part of the Coke family that Richard C. Coke belongs to. I have extensive info on this family in the U.S. and England. I would love to compare notes and discover where you fit it.

Jasper, I am a decendant of Sarah Hogg, daughter of George Hogg. She married John Coke in Abingdon Parish, Gloucester County, Virginia. It was a very respected family in Williamsburg, Virginia before the revolution. I would like to share data with you. I spend lots of time on this family.

Surnames: Cooke, Coke
Hello,

I hope and pray with great interest that your husband is from this family. This Coke family actual Surname is and pronounced Cooke and not a change from Surname Cocke or Cox. This Coke/Cooke line goes all the way back to Trusley, Broadwater, Sussex, Heene, Derby and more... This line is well documented, however there were other lines of this same family that arrived in America and not so well documented and presumed died out. DNA is making it possible to try and re-establish these connections. There is both a Cooke/Cook DNA project and a Coke/Cocke DNA project yet my Cooke participants have been unable to find a DNA tester from this line and wonder if a test has been completed and or if you would be willing to have your husband or related Coke male test. If you know the history of this family you will know that the majority of the children attended William and Mary College and Jim Cooke the Admin for the Cooke project at FTDNA attended and his son Jeb Cooke is a current student there. We would like to explore that possibility of our lost roots. My email is johnsosl atsign cox dotsign net. Hope to hear from you. Also, contact Jim Cooke at vacookes atsign gmail dotsign com. He would also be very pleased to know that the line is still alive and well. Thank you.
