My ancestor (9great-grandfather) was also in the House of Burgesses during that time! Richard Cocke, 1632, Henrico Co. His grandson, Thomas, was also a member of the House of Burgesses from Henrico Co., 1698. Thomas’ father, Thomas, was Justice, Sheriff, and Coroner of Henrico Co. (1680).
How about that! Our relatives probably knew each other.
Of course, my family wandered off the reservation by coming to Texas. Both sides of my family came down here long ago. I’m a 7th generation Texan on my father’s side.
