Jacob Cockrell
Generation No. 1
1. JACOB2 COCKRELL (?1) was born ca. 1750, and died 1792 in Nash Co, NC. He married PENELOPE ?.
Notes for JACOB COCKRELL:
Jacob Cockrell of Nash County,
North Carolina was probably born ca 1750, possibly in NC. The first record found shows that Jacob and his
brother John were listed on the Tax Roll for Nash Co, NC in 1782. On 01 Nov
1784 the State of NC granted to Jacob Cockrell a tract of 100 acres on the east
side of Beaver Dam Swamp adjoining William Horn, and a tract of 250 acres on Toisnot Swamp adjoining Thomas Horn and John Eatman. These grants
could have been made as a result of service in the American Revolution; but, to
this point, we have no information regarding whether Jacob served with the
Continental Army or not. There were also
some earlier grants made in 1782 which we have not found but which are
mentioned in other deeds, etc.
When the first Federal census
was taken in 1790, Jacob was residing in Nash Co, NC. The members of his
household included one male over 16 (Jacob), two males under 16, and two
females.
On August 22, 1792, Jacob
wrote his will. It was probated during
the November Court that same year. He apparently died during the late summer or
fall. His will reads as follows:
"In the name of God Amen;
I Jacob Cockrell of Nash County in the State of North Carolina being sick and
weak but being of perfect mind and memory.
And calling to mind the mortality of my body and knowing that it is
appointed for all Men once to die do make and ordain this my last Will and
Testament and as for what it hath pleased God to give me. I do give and bestow in the manner and form
following:
Imprimis, I
give and bequeath to my son Jonathan Cockrell the Plantation whereon I now live
also all the cider casks to him and his heirs forever and if he should die
without any lawful Heirs it is my desire that my son Nathan should have it.
Item, I give and bequeath to
my son Nathan Cockrell one Negro girl by the name of Seal also one feather bed
& furniture, one horse colt, one Hundred acres of Land lying on the beaver
dam to him and his Heirs forever.
Item, I give and bequeath to
my Daughter Selah Cockrell one Negro Man by the name of Plato, also one feather
bed & furniture to her and her Heirs forever.
Item, I give and bequeath to
my loving Wife five of the best Cows and Calves also my work mare, one feather
bed & furniture, the bed & funiture to her
for life, twelve head of hogs and two sows her choice to make her meat, one
Hundred acres of Land lying upon the Junipher(?), if
ever a right got for it. Also all the reasidue of my
Estate to her during her Widow Hood after my debts is paid and after her
Widowhood it is my desire that my son William Haywood Cockrell should have it
also it is my desire the he should have the Bed & furniture after her death
to him and his Heirs forever.
Item, I do hereby nominate and
appoint John Eatman my whole and sole Executor of
this my last Will and testament revoking all others by me here to fore made
being null and void. May it please the Honorable Court of Nash to grant Mr. Eatman leave of the Court to sell as much of my property as
will pay off my Debts without a publick sale and no
more to be sold but what pays off debts: as Witness my hand and seal the 22 day
of August 1792." Jacob Cockrell

Jacob's brother John who
witnessed his will also acted as guardian to his minor children. On 03 Sept 1800, Jonathan Cockrell, heir of
Jacob Cockrell, deceased, and Penelope Williams, the former wife of Jacob
Cockrell, deceased, sold to George Green of Nash County, for 50 lbs. specie,
100 acres on Millstone Swamp, it being a tract of land granted unto Jacob in
1782. The sale was witnessed by John
Sanders and Selah Cockrell.
Notes for PENELOPE
?:
Sometime between Jacob's death
in the later summer or fall of 1782 and 03 Sept 1800, Penelope Cockrell married
an unknown Williams man. Penelope's maiden name is unknown but she may
have been a Haywood and named her youngest child William Haywood after her
father.

Notes for WILLIAM HAYWOOD
COCKRELL:
It is generally assumed that
William Haywood Cockrell was born between the time the 1790 census was taken
and 22 Aug 1792 when his father wrote his will.
It is possible, however, that he is one of the
two males under 16 in the census and that one of his older brothers was not
living at home at the time of the Census.
After his father's death his uncle John Cockrell acted as his guardian;
and it appears he was living with him in 1800 at the time of the census.
William H. Cockrell apparently
married at a relatively young age for that time. Most men did not marry until their mid- to
late-twenties after they had had time to acquire property and were able to
provide for a family. Perhaps because
Jacob had already died and his mother Penelope had remarried, allowing him to
come into his inheritance at an early age, he was able to marry, possibly as
early as 1809. We do not know who his
first wife was but he probably married in Nash Co. It is uncertain when she died but it was
probably in the mid-1820's.
After the American Revolution,
It was this climate which
probably prompted the immigration of Cockrells from

16. PERNINA4 COCKRELL (WILLIAM HAYWOOD3, JACOB2, ?1) was born ca. 1816 in Nash Co, NC, and

LEOPARD 14 Jun 1834 in Greene Co, AL89,90. He was
born ca. 1810 in NC, and died Aft. 1870.
Notes for JESSE LEOPARD:
The 1870 census lists a
Louisa, age 15,
beneath Leonidas and a 3-yr old girl
Mary E. Since Louisa does not appear on
the 1860 census, she may have been Leonidas' wife,
albeit a young one, and the 3-year old may have been a
grandchild instead of a daughter. It
could also be that Louisa was just left off the 1860 census because the census
taker made a mistake.

Notes for SAMUEL JEFFERSON
COCKRELL:
Family legend contributed by
his grandson Sam Cockrell has it that Samuel Jefferson Cockrell's brother Jakey named him.
Although Jakey was only three or four years
old at the time of Samuel's birth the story rings true for it is something a
youngster might suggest. When Jakey was told he had a baby brother, he said, "Let's
name him after that old mule in the back."
The mule's name was Sam.
I'm sure the naming was
considered prophetic by some of the members of his family for he's been
described as mule-headed, strong of purpose, obstinate, opinionated, and having
a strong sense of right and wrong. Regardless, it is agreed by all who remember
him that he had an upright bearing and manner, knew his own mind, and was not
apt to allow anyone to change it.
He also had a puckish sense of
humor. One of my favorite stories was
passed on to me by his granddaughter Mildred (McClure)
Relatives tell me that Sam had
no formal schooling. One story is that
after his mother died no one made him go to school. Another is that he went to school two
days--the first day he didn't have a book; the second, he didn't have a
teacher. The implication was that he was
such a hellion the teacher quit rather than return to a classroom that Sam
occupied. I suspect Sam himself told the
second story with a twinkle in his eye.
Everyone who wrote me about
Sam agreed that he took pride in his dress and always looked sharp. I heard versions of the same story regarding
Sam's feeling that every male should always wear a hat or cap when
outdoors. Most of the stories seem to
agree that he refused to give a young boy a ride because this compulsory piece
of clothing was missing.
Sam
was a farmer, a first-class carpenter, a blacksmith, a Watkins man (peddler of
pots and pans), a healing medium and a masseur. Prior to becoming a masseur I'm told he was a
Socialist and fully believed the rich should be forced to share their wealth
with those less fortunate. I don't know
if this belief survived his graduation as a masseur. I'm told he was tired to being poor so
decided to do something about it. On
June 21, 1921, Sam was awarded a diploma from the Weltmer
Institute of Suggestive Therapeutics as a masseur, which was recorded on
November 21, 1921 in Comanche Co, TX.
While Sam had no formal
education, he could cipher in his head; and his wife Callie taught him to read
and write. It is said that his
daughter-in-law Edith, Alideen's wife, helped him get
his diploma as a masseur.
Sam and Callie were staunch Methodists. Sam also loved music and could dance the
jig. He was always ahead of his
time. I'm told he had the first Model A
in Comanche and enjoyed flying. He was a
gifted speaker and kept his listeners spellbound.
He also had more nerves, guts
or stubbornness than most people.
Mildred (McClure)
At 75 his license was
rescinded because he started driving 75 mph down the middle of the
highway. At that time he was forced to allow
someone else to do the driving. His son
Jake was living with Sam and Callie at the time so it became his chore.
Notes for MALINDA CAROLINE
MITCHELL:
Malina
Caroline "Callie" Mitchell married Samuel J. Cockrell in Clay County,
MS. Members of the
family remember her as a staunch supporter of Sam. Everything he said was right and no one
should dispute it. It's been said that
she did not have a lot to say for herself although it's my understanding she
could be quite tart when it pleased her.
Mildred McClure Jennings tells me that she was about
5'9" tall with pretty blue eyes, long black hair, and a fair complexion. Her world revolved around Sam. She was quiet and reserved and Sam, with his
more outgoing personality, overshadowed her.

1892.
Notes for MARY ETTA COCKRELL:
Mary Etta had a daughter by
her husband William Howard. He, however,
did not believe the child was his because he had had the mumps and thought he
was incapable of fathering a child.
Howard divorced her and her family sent her to stay with other family
members in MS until the furor died down.
She had an illegitimate child while she was away. Her mother decided to send to some of her
relatives in TX. She did not get off the
train at her stop in TX and she and her children were never heard from again. This story comes from Robert Cockrell who
wonders if she ever really left MS.

Notes for ARCHIE B COCKRELL:
As a young man, Archie was a
"rip snorter." He was always in trouble. Years later he met a former preacher and
asked him if he remembered him. The
preacher answered, "Oh, yes, you were the boy who used to roll the peaches
down the aisle to the girls in front."
When he was 16 years old, he crushed his ankle when he and his paint
horse slid down a steep river bank with Archie's ankle trapped between the
horse and the river bank. He spent a
year in bed to pay for this devilment.
There were men in the
community who would not let their daughters go out with Archie. He told stories about the girls crawling out
their windows to go with him. One night
while riding home, he met one of these men at a crossroads. Going too fast to stop, he jumped his horse
over the hood of the man's car. As you
can imagine, this did little to endear him to the man.
As a young man during the
depression, Archie hitchhiked around the country. He had been to almost all the states in the
During World War II Archie was
stationed in
Archie and Margaret were
married 05 May 1945 in
In 1952 Archie moved his
family to
Sometime around the summer of
1959, he decided that the family home was too small. He added on to the house and did all the work
himself with help from friends. It
wasn't perfect but we thought it was.
Archie always regretted
selling the farm. After it was done, he
realized he had "cut off his nose to spite his face." In the late 1950's or early 1960's he bought
land outside
Christmas at the Cockrells was always special. We didn't have a lot of money to spend but
Archie and Maggie were rich in ideas.
One year Archie bid on plywood boxes at the Plant. With those boxes he built us a playhouse for
Christmas. It was about 8' x 6'. The old linoleum from the kitchen was used to
cover the floor. The walls were painted
white with red trim around the two tiny windows. Archie built in a table painted white with
red trim which would fold up to the wall.
Above the table, he built shelves for our dishes. Maggie made a curtain to cover the
shelves. We even had a couch. They took an old wooden twin bed frame and
sawed the headboard and footboard in half.
Half of it was placed against the wall with half on the floor. The old feather mattress was roped through
the middle lengthwise with half against the wall and half forming the
seat. Maggie made a slip cover. We thought we were the richest kids in the
neighborhood. No one else we knew had a playhouse. We even had heat in winter because they ran
an electric cord out the kitchen window for a small electric heater.
On another Christmas, Archie
build small chests for each of us to keep our dolls in. The Christmas when four-poster doll beds were
all the rage did not find us wanting.
Archie used one
inch dowels for the posters. At the top
he used a big nail around which he wrapped stiff wire to form the frame to hold
the tester. Maggie made mattresses and
pillows out of real mattress ticking.
Each of us had a different colored organdy spread and tester on our
beds, blue, pink and green. Again, we
thought we were the richest people in the neighborhood.
In our family, we always
exchanged family gifts on Christmas Eve.
Then, during the night, Santa visited us. We would awake in the morning to a tree
around which Santa had arranged our gifts.
Santa never wrapped these presents but placed them in each child's
designated place under the tree.

Very little is know of the early life of McLin Nuson Cockrell. He
was born approximately 1829 in
identifies him as
being born in Demopolis which is in Marengo County, His parents were Nathan Cockrell and Nancy
Williams. It is said in oral family
tradition that
McLin
derived his name from a grandparents last name. Thus he is linked to Clan Gillean/MacLean/MacLaine
of
The spelling of his first name
has appeared several ways on documents pertaining to him. These variations are: “McLin”,MacLin, McLinn and Macklin. All records containing his signature are
signed simply as M. N. Cockrell. All
variants are directly linked to Clan Gillean/MacLean/MacLaine.
McLin had eight brothers and sisters as follow:
Dempsey - born Nash County, North Carolina
Jacob - born Nash County, North Carolina
Susan - born Nash County, North Carolina
Emmerson - born Nash County North
Carolina
William J. - born Nash County North Carolina
Samuel Williams - born Green County, Alabama
Charity Cathrine - born
Green County, Alabama
Nathan Jr. - born Green County, Alabama
McLin’s father, Nathan Cockrell,
died on 12 November 1832. The minor
children were then placed under the guardianship of Dempsey and Jonathan
Cockrell. William J., Samuel Williams,
and Nathan Jr. were placed under the guardianship of their older brother
Dempsey, while Emmerson, Charity, and McLin were under the guardianship of their Uncle Jonathan.
McLin is
listed in the 1850 U.S. Census on page 289 as living in Eutaw,
Five
years later, on the first day of January 1855, McLin
N. Cockrell and Permelia Elizabeth Coleman registered
with Judge J. R. Evans to be married. The Reverand A. P. Silliman
solomized the rites of matrimony on 4 January 1855. The record of marriage may be found inbook “C” page 49 of the

McLin and Permelia owned
in excess of 1,480 acres of land. Most
of the land buying and selling was kept pretty much within the Hutton, Coleman,
Cockrell families. On 29 December 1849,
Nathan M.Carpenter, husband of the late Catherine
Cockrell executed a land bond to Dempsey, Jacob, William, Samuel, Nathan & McLin Cockrell.
Evidently the land (80 acres) belonged originally to Catherine. Under the law known as the
“Woman’s Law”, the conditions of the land bond were that
Nathan Carpenter was to pay the Cockrell’s $1,000.00 for the land. One half while he, Nathan
Carpenter, was still living, and the remaining half to be paid by the executors
of his estate upon his death.
On
12 Feburary 1852, Nathan and Mclin
Cockrell bought approximately 440 acres from Jonathan Cockrell for
$5,100.00. Two years later, on 21
November, this land
was sold to Robert B. Dunlap for $5,500.00
On
19 September 1856, McLin purchased 160 acres from his
brother-in-law, John R. Coleman, for $240.00.
Part of the land in this purchase belonged to his other brother-in-law, Aquilla H. Coleman.
On 25 September 1856, he paid Aquilla $256.00
for his part of the land plus an additional 8 acres. The two transactions consisted of about 240
acres. In January of 1857, McLin sold 160 acres of this land to John N. Hutton for
1,280.00. This land transaction included
a land exchange agreement whereby McLin purchased
from John Hutton 212 acres for the sum of $1,480.00. The next year, on 15 May 1858, McLin sold the land he purchased from John Hutton to James
B. Cook along with some other lands totaling 515 acres for the sum of $5,000.00
On
31 January 1857, McLin and Aquilla
entered into another land exchange agreement whereby McLinpaid
$1,518.00 and exchanged an unspecified amount of land in exchange for 333
acres. McLin
in turn sold part of these lands to James B. Cook in the land deal mentioned
above.
McLin enlisted in the Company B, 36th
McLin’s Regiment moved from
unfortunate indeed, as Bragg was
notorious for neglect of his men. As a
result they suffered greatly. McLin fought at the
bloody battle of
In
the subsequent siege of
He
managed to break the siege and sent General Bragg in a headlong retreat toward
The
last land transaction on record was after the Civil War. McLin and Permelia sold to Penelope M. Steele 150 acres for the sum
of $2,900.00. This land was originally
owned by Permelia and was deeded to her by Charles Bostic. This land
also included the plantation house and was sold to Mrs. Steele on 11 January
1869. Evidently McLin
and Permelia had other lands or houses to live in, as
in the 1870
Merchant”. Permelia is listed
as keeping house, Charles Coleman is a student at the University of Alabama,
Martha P. is listed, but does not give any Information as to her
occupation. There is no mention for A.
W. Cockrell. Also living in the Cockrell
household in a Harriet Brownlee, a 35 year old female mulatto listed as a
domestic servant, and Amanda Cockrell, a 34 year old black female also listed a
domestic servant.

this point forward no records of McLin have been
found. He died in

Demopolis, May 6, 1862
Dear Sis Permelia
I
am brought at last to the brink of black despair by the long sad separation of
my dear husband. What a cruel war this
is. Its chief business seems to be to
destroy human life, to gash and hue the boys, to plunge a
sword into the heart of a fellow creature.
It is to batter down and burn cities, to turn fruitful fields
into deserts, to leave cottage of a peasant and the
magnificent abode of opulence, to scourge our nation with famine and to
multiply widows and orphans.
I
fear we are lingering under a cloud of doom that will burst on us anon, with
direful fury. Three long weary weeks
have elapsed since Nat’s departure.
I have received 7 letters
from him. One yesterday stating that he
and brother Mac enjoyed good health. This cheering to hear
that much grateful intelligence from our dear absent ones. Nate writes a rather doleful letter, he thinks Mobile will
soon be occupied by the enemy, then this portion of the country will be
polluted by them in their search after cotton.
I
don’t feel afraid for I am much depressed in spirit that I am not capable
of feeling much anyway. I struggle with
my feelings in order to brase up as long as possible,
but finding to bid to life, I had at last to yield myself up and answer to a
sea of sickness and pain. During the
past I had several chills, on last Saturday I was _____ _____ half the day, my fever was very
high. Dr. Whitfield visited me, and I am
improving so rapidly that I was sitting up today.It
is before breakfast now and I am sitting in bed to write. I have commended several letters to you,but have never concluded
any. I have not been well since I had roseola,
sister says I am a good pictureof “pale and
green melaconey”.
I was last going to write
you a long letter, but mother is in a great hurry to go to “D” so I
will have to desist, but I have waited so long I will send this even
unfinished.
Nat named our boy Nathan Eddins before he left.
The little fellow has two teeth and two teeth nearly though, they
didn’t make him sick to much. He
can crawl good.
Mary Whitfield says he is so white he must have a very fair father. Pa is sick in bed and Ma is not well at all.. Tell sis and the
boys about their little cousin. Nat
– we
call him that, I have so many things to say, but mother
Pansy is impatient so I must close.
I will write more at
length next time. My love to you and all the children and accept a great
parting myself
Write soon to your ,Loving sister

Ione Elizabeth was very active in her church,
and a devout Presbyterian. This often
resulted in her butting heads with her father-in-law, William Henry Teague,a hard-shell Baptist
preacher. Ione
was head strong and set in her ways. She
often worked the crossword puzzles in the newspaper. She would work them out in ink, and would
allow herself no mistakes. If a word did
not fit according to her way, then the paper was wrong as far as she was
concerned. As often as not the paper was
indeed wrong.
Ione was a nervous sort of person given to sudden and
violent headaches. It is said in her
early years, doctors gave her chloroform freely, which would knock her out for
days when a headache come on. She was
probably a borderline epileptic which would account
for the headaches, and sudden outburst of temper.
