Slaves of John Hartwell Cocke I

Prior to the establishment of Bremo, his father, John Hartwell Cocke I was recorded as owning the following enslaved people in 1782, Fluvanna Co, VA Personal Property Tax.[1]

Given that slave owners rarely provided or attributed last names to the enslaved in their wills, inventories or other lists, the following profiles are created using the last name of the slave holder as a temporary LNAB until the actual last name is learned.

In 1783 the personal property tax lists the names of the Bremo enslaved[2]

Wm Henley Overseer

These enslaved persons were named in the will of John Cocke I, and were to go to his wife, Elizabeth Cocke. [3]

For more information on these enslaved persons, and others at Bremo plantation please see the Bremo Plantation space page.
