[cocke1.FTW] [1865930a.ged] Richard Woodward was probably named by his mother, Elizabeth (Cocke) Woodward, as a namesake of his maternal great-uncle, Richard Cocke, "the younger," and/or his maternal great-grandfather, Lt. Col. Richard Cocke, of "Bremo," Henrico Co., Virginia. After her father died, Elizabeth Cocke, yet an infant, was taken in by her Uncle Richard Cocke, until she was of age or married to Lancelot Woodward, so it seems quite fitting that she would have named her first-born son after the uncle to whom she owed such a debt of gratitude. In the "Executive Journals of the Council of Virginia, Volume V," on pages 235-236, appears the following: At a Council held May 7, 1747, . . . The following petitions for land were granted: . . . To Richard Woodward 1800 acres in Albemarle, lying on the branches of the Fluvanna River, beginning on the lands belonging to Nicholas Davies or Thomas Jones, on or near Ivy Creek or its branches near Flemings Mountains. . . . This was not a patent or land grant, but merely gave Richard Woodward permission to seek and obtain land there. His father, Lancelot Woodward, died ca. 1749/50 and, about a year or so later, on February 6, 1751, Richard Woodward witnessed a deed of sale for 200 acres of land in Albemarle Co., from Francis Calloway and his wife, Frances, to John Thomson; other witnesses were Edward Bright, James Callaway, James Fair, and Edmund Fair, all of whom seem to have been closely associated with Richard Woodward's family for many years. Several weeks later, on March 29, 1751, Richard Woodward and all of the witnesses named above were mentioned again in a series of deeds, in which most of them acquired land of their own from Nicholas Davies, for example: Nicholas Davies, Gent., of Cumberland Co., to Richard Woodward, of Albemarle Co., for 58 Pounds, 1 shilling, & 3 pence, 800 acres on the Branches of Blackwater, near Fleming's Mountain. Wit: John Anthony, Edward Bright, James Callaway, James Fair, and Edmund Fair. Then, a few more weeks after that, on May 14, 1751, Richard Woodward sold 200 acres of his land to Edward Bright, for 15 Pounds. Two of Richard Woodward sons, Isaac and William, married two of Edward Bright's daughters, Rebecca and Sarah, respectively.
