Cook was a pharmacist and prominent West Virginia historian. Cook wrote several books on the history of Lewis County and biographies of Stonewall Jackson and Alexander Scott Withers, and contributed historical articles to a wide variety of publications. He also collected Civil War and early West Virginia documents and memorabilia. More biographical information on Mr. Cook is available in the \"Records of the 31st Virginia Infantry Regiment, C.S.A.\" (see link in Instances).","The 31st Virginia Volunteer Infantry Regiment  was formed in the early weeks of the Civil War when Confederate General Robert E. Lee ordered the recruitment of troops to protect railroad lines running through western Virginia's northern counties. On May 4, Lee appointed Colonel George Porterfield to assume command of these forces, which were being raised primarily in Taylor, Marion, Harrison, Monongalia, and Barbour Counties. In the next few weeks, these new recruits found themselves in the war's first arena, a tactical struggle for control of the Confederacy's northwestern flank--the hills, rails, and rivers of what would soon become the nation's 35th state, West Virginia.","Composed of some of the war's earliest recruits, the 31st Virginia Infantry would see action under General Garnett, William L. \"Mudwall\" Jackson, Jones and Imboden, Stonewall Jackson, Jubal Early, and many more legendary Confederate commanders, at battles including Corrick's Ford, Cross Keys, Cold Harbor, Gettysburg, New Market, and others. Approximately 57 of the 850 men who joined the regiment in 1861 witnessed Lee's surrender at Appomattox on April 9, 1865.","A detailed history of the 31st Virginia by James Dell Cooke is available online (see link in Instances).","Researchers are also referred to John M. Ashcraft's '31st Virginia Infantry' (Lynchburg, Va.: H.E. Howard, 1988).","Granville Davisson Hall  (September 17, 1837 - June 24, 1934) worked for the Wheeling 'Intelligencer' as a reporter and editor. He also recorded the proceedings of the Wheeling Conventions, which led to the creation of the state of West Virginia. His notes were later published as 'The Rending of Virginia.' Hall also served as secretary to Governor Francis H. Pierpont when the Reorganized Government of Virginia was set up by the Second Wheeling Convention in 1861. In the new state government, Hall was elected the first clerk of the House of Delegates on June 20, 1863. In 1865, he was elected Secretary of State and also served as private secretary to West Virginia's first governor, Arthur I. Boreman. After the Civil War, Hall held several positions in the railroad industry.","Congressman and Confederate General  Albert Gallatin Jenkins  (November 10, 1830 - May 21, 1864) was born at Green Bottom, Cabell County. He practiced law in (West) Virginia and served in the U.S. Congress from 1857 to 1861. At the beginning of the Civil War, he enlisted recruits for a Virginia unit called the Border Rangers and was elected their captain. In August of 1861, he formed the 8th Virginia Cavalry and became its colonel. In early 1862, Jenkins was elected to the First Confederate Congress. In August of 1862, he was appointed brigadier general. He went on to command a battalion of cavalry at the Battle of Gettysburg. Jenkins died of wounds he received at the Battle of Cloyd's Mountain. Jenkins' Green Bottom plantation house, maintained as an historic site by the West Virginia Division of Culture and History, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.","Jonathan McCally Bennett  (October 4, 1816 - October 28, 1887) was born in Lewis County, (West) Virginia. He married Margaret Elizabeth Jackson, daughter of Captain George W. Jackson, cousin of Stonewall Jackson. Bennett was law partner of Gideon D. Camden, and in 1846 became the first Mayor of Weston. He served as a member of the General Assembly in 1852-1853, was president of the Exchange Bank of Virginia at Weston in 1853, served as First Auditor of Virginia from 1857 to 1865, and served on the West Virginia Senate from 1872 to 1876.

JOHN HARTWELL COCKE PAPERS:\n            #5685, #5685-a.","John Hartwell Cocke was born in 1780 in the Tidewater county of Surry, the son of John Hartwell and Elizabeth\n         (Kennon) Cocke. 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.

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.

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.

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.
