By the age of twenty-one, Cocke was the master of over 5,500 acres of land in Surry and Fluvanna counties. A\n         few years after Cocke married Anne Blaws Barraud (\"Nancy\") of Norfolk, Virginia in 1802, he sold his Surry County holdings\n         and moved to a frame dwelling at Bremo Recess, Fluvanna County, and began work on a finer home, \"Bremo.\" He owned\n         three large plantations along the James River, Bremo Recess, Upper Bremo, and Lower Bremo, each containing over a thousand\n         acres of land. During the War of 1812, Cocke served in the Virginia militia, rising from captain to brigadier general in\n         eighteen months. His first wife, Anne Blaws Barraud Cocke (1785-1816) did not live to see the completion of \"Bremo\" in\n         1820, but Cocke and his second wife, Louisa Maxwell Holmes (m. 1821), lived there until their deaths.\n","Other milestones in the life of John Hartwell Cocke include his elections as Vice-President of the Virginia Temperance\n         Society in 1830 and as President in 1834; his election as President of the United States Temperance Union in 1836; his\n         membership on the University of Virginia Board of Visitors from its inception as Central College in 1819 until 1852;\n         membership on the Virginia Board of Public Works, 1823-1829; his primary role in the founding of the Agricultural Society\n         of Albemarle in 1817; and service on the James River and Kanawha Canal Company Board of Directors. John Hartwell Cocke\n         was greatly troubled by the issue of slavery, and he concentrated his time and money in promoting the American\n         Colonization Society, and preparing his slaves for gradual emancipation through vocational training and teaching them to\n         read and write.","The papers of the Cocke family of Fluvanna County, Virginia, and related Barraud family, Faulcon family, and\n         other families, consist of ca. 25,000 items, (194 Hollinger boxes, ca. 64.5 linear shelf feet), 1725- 1939, and contains\n         correspondence, legal and financial papers, diaries of John Hartwell Cocke, Louisa Maxwell Holmes Cocke, and Lucy Cocke,\n         minutes of the Board of Visitors of the University ofVirginia, diagrams and sketches concerning the University,\n         bound volumes, sketches and drawings, college and school notes, poetry, orations and speeches, essays, genealogy, and\n         lists pertaining to agriculture, music and other subjects.","Major topics covered by the collection include: the development of agriculture in Virginia, merino sheep, horse\n         breeding and purchases, slavery, the American Colonization Society, temperance movement, other religious and reform\n         groups, book dealers, religion, the War of 1812, the Civil War, public education (including the Bremo Seminary), the\n         founding and development of the University of Virginia and public improvements.

His first wife, Anne Blaws Barraud Cocke (1785-1816) did not live to see the completion of \"Bremo\" in\n         1820, but Cocke and his second wife, Louisa Maxwell Holmes (m. 1821), lived there until their deaths.\n","Other milestones in the life of John Hartwell Cocke include his elections as Vice-President of the Virginia Temperance\n         Society in 1830 and as President in 1834; his election as President of the United States Temperance Union in 1836; his\n         membership on the University of Virginia Board of Visitors from its inception as Central College in 1819 until 1852;\n         membership on the Virginia Board of Public Works, 1823-1829; his primary role in the founding of the Agricultural Society\n         of Albemarle in 1817; and service on the James River and Kanawha Canal Company Board of Directors. John Hartwell Cocke\n         was greatly troubled by the issue of slavery, and he concentrated his time and money in promoting the American\n         Colonization Society, and preparing his slaves for gradual emancipation through vocational training and teaching them to\n         read and write."],"prefercite_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eCocke Family Papers, Accession #640, etc., Special\n            Collections, University of Virginia Library,\n            Charlottesville, Va.\u003c/p\u003e"],"prefercite_tesim":["Cocke Family Papers, Accession #640, etc., Special\n            Collections, University of Virginia Library,\n            Charlottesville, Va."],"scopecontent_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eThe papers of the Cocke family of Fluvanna County, Virginia, and related Barraud family, Faulcon family, and\n         other families, consist of ca. 25,000 items, (194 Hollinger boxes, ca. 64.5 linear shelf feet), 1725- 1939, and contains\n         correspondence, legal and financial papers, diaries of John Hartwell Cocke, Louisa Maxwell Holmes Cocke, and Lucy Cocke,\n         minutes of the Board of Visitors of the University ofVirginia, diagrams and sketches concerning the University,\n         bound volumes, sketches and drawings, college and school notes, poetry, orations and speeches, essays, genealogy, and\n         lists pertaining to agriculture, music and other subjects.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eMajor topics covered by the collection include: the development of agriculture in Virginia, merino sheep, horse\n         breeding and purchases, slavery, the American Colonization Society, temperance movement, other religious and reform\n         groups, book dealers, religion, the War of 1812, the Civil War, public education (including the Bremo Seminary), the\n         founding and development of the University of Virginia and public improvements.

Included are\n         correspondence, business and legal papers, papers re military\n         and religious matters, school notebooks, and certificates of\n         graduation from schools at the \n          University of Virginia .","Although little seems to be known or published about the\n         Latane family, valuable information may be found in \n          Parson Latane 1672-1732 by Lucy Temple Latane (Mss CS71.L347 1936); \n          Essex County, Virginia: Its Historic Homes,\n            Landmarks and Traditions edited by Essex County Woman's Club (F232.E7E7 1940);\n         and, \n          Settlers, Southerners, Americans: The History of\n            Essex County, Virginia 1608-1984 by James B. Slaughter (F232.E7S5 1985).","The early eighteenth century correspondence contains many\n         letters from \n          Henry Latane and his wife, \n          Anne Latane , London, England, to his\n         brother, \n          Lewis Latane (1672-1732) and his third\n         wife, \n          Mary (Deane) Latane (1685-1765), South\n         Farnham Parish, Essex County. Some of the letters are written\n         in French but the majority of them are in English. During the\n         1720s, Henry frequently advised Lewis to grow another crop\n         besides tobacco, saying that Europe could not consume all that\n         comes from America. In a letter of January 13, 1730, Henry is\n         \"impatient to know what the fate of Europe whether warr or\n         Peace everything seems to tend to a Crisis ...,\" possibly\n         referring to the trade conflict between England and Spain.","After her husband's death in 1732, Mary (Deane) Latane\n         managed the property that came to her and her children, with\n         the help of her cousin, \n          William Beverley (1698-1756). There are\n         several letters, 1733-1750, from Beverley discussing the\n         settlement of her husband's estate and the sale of her\n         tobacco.

John Bowman Jr. died on March 7th, 1816, three days after compiling his last will and testament. This particular Bowman family is a branch of the prominent pioneering and military family of Rockingham County of the same name (descended from George Bowman who settled in the area in 1731). There are financial records in the collection indicating the sale of a significant tract of land to David Bowman (son of Solon Bowman) from the heirs of the prominent Isaac Bowman (son of George Bowman mentioned above). One such heir from the deed, Mattie S. Bowman, also penned a letter to David Bowman, found in the second series of the collection, confirming that she was his niece and that the Bowman's of this collection were related to the prominent Bowman family of the area. Another such heir mentioned was Alpheus M. Bowman, a very prominent and successful statesman and businessman in Virginia. Solon Bowman, to which some of the wills relate to, was born July 11, 1844 and was said to have been an active and pleasant man in the Rader's Lutheran Church Community, and was also a soldier in the Civil War, said to be \"gallant and brave.\"","In order to streamline the process of applying collection numbers, Special Collections staff completed a large-scale renumbering campaign in 2017-2018.
