CLARKE, Sarah [367] ^{1 4}

  General Notes:

From The Cocks....Genealogy of Long Island, by George William Cocks: CLARKE LINEAGE
The problem of the ancestry of Sarah, wife of James Cock the immigrant, seems nearest to solution, with the assumption that she was of the Clarke family, living contemporaneously with the Cocks at Southhold, LI. The persistence of the use of the Christian names Clark, Samuel and Richard in several generations of the Cock family, suggested an examination of sundry Clarke records, wherein these and several other concurrent names were found both male and female. Other evidence, pointing to a former residence at Rhode Island, indicates that Sarah's father was very probably a near relative of Dr. John 4 Clarke, (Thomas 3, John 2, John 1)

"The Cox Family in America, Page 11-- Nothing is known regarding the ancestral relations of Sarah the wife of James Cock. No reasonable suggestion of consanguinity with any of the neighboring families at either of the places at which he was settled has been heard. The temporary occupancy of Thomas Mapes' house and lot at Southold by James Cock, and the appearance together of the names of Mapes and Cock in their progress westward, seem to suggest a possible connection of some kind, but no proof appears.
John Bayles likewise coming to Southold via the Bermudas, whose children intermarried with the Mapes family and removed westward on Long Island coincident with James Cock, might possibly have been Sarah's ancestor, but proof is lacking.
Since writing the foregoing the compilers think they have had sufficient reason to believe that the family name of Sarah, the wife of James Cock, was Clarke, probably sister of Samuel Clarke, of North Sea, Southampton, Long Island, N. Y."

Sarah married James COCK [366] [MRIN: 168] before 1655 in Killingworth upon Matinecock, Queens Co, NY.^{1 2 3 4} (James COCK [366] was born about 1630 in Bloomfield, Norfolk, England ² and died in 1699 in Underhill Burying Hill, Killingworth upon Matinecock, Queens Co, NY ^{1 2 4}.)
