All rights reserved and belong to
the sources cited. For personal use only. Specific documentation can be obtain
upon e-mailed request. Please drop me a line if you intend to link to any of
these pages from your website -- I am basically curious about who is out there
that might be interested in this material and also, so that I can keep you up
to date on any changes I may have planned. My basic motivation behind all of
this is to learn more about my family history, so any comments, corrections,
complaints, or criticisms will be welcomed and even appreciated.
In many ways this website is a
group effort and a collaboration which was begun many years before I got
involved, and in this regard, I function much like an editor and publisher
here, who occasionally puts in his own two cents now and then. I would
particularly like to acknowledge and thank the following individuals whose
research, labors, help, long talks, and critical advise, I have made and
continue to make copious use of here. Unfortunately several are no longer among us though we still follow their guidance studiously:
Jeanne Thurlow
Miller, Sonoma County historian whose
many years of research on
the 1853 Hagans-Cockrill
immigration, supplied much of the core documentation for this
genealogy.
Dr. John M. Baker, M. D.,
grandson of Eliza Livina (Cockrill)
McGuire and chief Cockrill resource person who introduced and connected me
with other researchers working on this family.
Herbert J. Boothroyd, Cockrill Family researcher who is
the great x 3 grandson of Anderson Hammett (son of
Dianah Cockrill) with extensive knowledge of early
Cockrill history.

significant amount of this work has also been
derived.

680 page genealogy on the family (with all its variants in spelling) in

Virginia, Volume 1: Cockrill Families of Northern Virginia (Arizona,
2002).
Gladys Higgs, great great
granddaughter of Joseph Venable COCKRILL and
another long-time Cockrill Family researcher and resource person who has spent
many years seeking the human details of a family which is often lost in the
mounds of dry facts.

Electa Grace (Thompson)
Wendt, my grandmother and wife of Milton Frederick Wendt, my
grandfather and the grandson of "Trib" and Amanda (Cockrill) Fulkerson (my great great
grandparents).
My grandmother was the primary keeper of our family's
history, had an impressive memory, and lived 4 months shy of being 100. She was
my first teacher of family history and initiated me at an early age into its
mysteries and traditions. Similarly, as a young girl, she had learned the
family stories and the importance of their preservation from her uncle,
John James Wakeland
(1865-1954). In turn, we continue to learn from Uncle John's teachers.
