Notes for SARAH COCKE:
Information provided by Ann Avery Hunter, after 45 years of research.

DEATH: Goochland Co. OB 7, p. 402; Jordan vs. Cox in 1754

Richard Perrin received a patent on 14 Mar 1672 for 740 acres, 1 rod, 24 perches. [Va Patent Bk 6:445]. 474 acres of this was called "World's End" and had been granted Mathew Edlow on 2 Oct 1656. In 1691, he deeded to Thomas Farrar and
Katherine his wife (who was said Richard's daughter) 256 acres of "World's End" "where I now live" bounded by the [James] River and William Ballow.

In his will dated 16 Mar 1694/5, Richard Perrin bequeathed "my house and land commonly called "World's End", 400 acres with 200 acres fronting river, to my dear wife Katherine for life, and at her death to daughter Sarah. . . ." This daughter Sarah married William Cocke 2 Dec 1695.

William Cocke made his will 5 Nov 1717 and left "all my lands" to his son William. However, William died without issue (having had children, but they predeceased him). His widow, Judith (Stewart) Cocke married 2nd to Francis Redford and
received her dower in the above "World's End". The balance went to William Cocke's sisters: Temperance (who m. Abraham Bayly); Catherine (who m. John Burton) but died young leaving an eldest son John; Mary (m. John Redford); and Sarah (a half-sister who m. 1st William Cox & 2nd Thomas Jordan).

Judith, widow of Wm. Cocke, now wife of Francis Redford, relinquished her rights in the tract to William Randolph on 5 Aug 1747. [Henrico Will & Deed Bk 1737-1750, p. 297]

Rev. William Finney who had married a sister of William Cocke (owner of 256 acres of World's End by virtue of his marriage to Katharine Perrin) ended up with part of "World's End" which he bequeathed his son William in his will dated 3 Feb 1726.
[Henrico Will & Deed Bk 1725-1737, p. 104].

William Finney, the son, sold a small piece of land (possibly part of World'd End) to Abraham Bayly which is mentioned in a deed from Peter Cock Bailey of Mecklenburg County, VA to Francis Pearce in 1788 which transferrs two tracts, the second
of which is "five acres, being the parcel of land purchased of Willliam Finne and adjoining the first." [Henrico Dd Bk 2:663] The first tract was 47 acres whereon Abraham Bailey, grandfather of said Peter Cocke Bailey died. It began "on Cornelius's Cr on S side and thence a south course of marked trees along Col. Heth's line to Peyton Randolph's line, thence along the said Randolph's line, a northeast course to William Gile's line, thence along the said Gile's line of marked trees a northwest course til it joins the land that was Joseph Bailey's; thence along the said line to where it begun."

[Henrico Deed Bk 1737-1750, p. 297.] On 26 Sept 1747, William Finney Gent to William Randolph, Gent. of Goochland Co for L960 [3 tracts]:

1. 265 acres which was purchased of Thomas Farrar and Katharine his wife and John & Joseph Farrar their sons by William Finney, decd. father of the said William Finney conveyed to him by deed dated March 10, 1723.
-
2. also 400 acres, adj the 265, purchased fr John Radford and Mary his wife, Thomas Jordan and Sarah his wife, and Abraham Bailey and Temperance his wife--the above sd. lying on the N side of James River in Henrico Co and was commonly
called "World's End."
-
3. also 371 acres in same Co. adj Wm Eppes, the same being pt of a tract granted Thomas Cocke by patent dated Apr 20, 1687 and by him devised to Mary Finney, late mother of said William Finney. Sept 26, 1747. THIS 3rd tract is NOT PART
OF WORLD'S END.

So in 1747 William Randolph owned almost all, if not all of the original "World's End." For a time I thought it was a part of Chatsworth, but after seeing a survey of Chatsworth in the first plat book of Henrico County, I could see that Chatsworth was too far north and it was not on Cornelius Creek as World's End definitely was. The 1656 patent of Matthew Edlow referred to in Richard Perrin's patent does not appear in the Virginia Land Patent Books. The patent for Richard Perrin's land is mostly undecipherable. Most of the surrounding patents do not give accurate metes and bounds--just vaguely state "Westerly into the Woods" etc.

Notes for FRANCIS MCPHEETERS BOWYER:
Francis Bowyer Simpson lived in Lexington, Va on Main Street in the house that was left to her by her mother. She didn't drive so she walked most places in Lexington and was known by most everyone.She liked to travel and loved to take pictures. She was very devoted to her family. She was very active in the Odd Fellows and attended events in Lexington and other cities.The night the Lord took her home she had attended an event with the Odd Fellows in Roanoke, Virginia, she passed away while on the way home. She was my grandmother, my best friend, I miss her wisdom and her insight on the world.

Notes for ROBERT LLOYD SIMPSON:
Robert Simpson was a very quite man. After his retirement from the Carpet factory in Glasgow, Va., he was the caretaker for the Stonewall Jackson Cemetery. He was very active in the Masonic Lodge. The thing I remember most was he owned a 1952 Pontiac that he rented a garage for and on Saturday he would take it out to get it cleaned and gased. He would take it out for a ride on Sunday and then by dark on Sunday it would go back to the garage until Saturday. I think he loved that car almost as much as he loved my grandmother.
