In his letter of 26 January 1999, William Oye informed us of the following:
[I] received more discs from Family Tree Maker.
On the Passenger and Immigration List Index 1538-1940,
I found the following listing:
Primary individual, Cock, Micharl [sic]
Place: Philadelphia
Year: 1732
Age: 33
I had not found it before because of the way they spelled Michael, with the "r" instead of "e." It was probably a typo but it wouldn't bring it up. Also Cock not Cocks. Think it might fit?
Also I'm still not sure where to put David that I had as a son of Michael and Elizabeth, and was their other son Michael that married Leah Todd.
Listing of inhabitants in 1785 Fayette County,
PA.:
Cock, John Union Township, Pennsylvania
Cock, Michal Jr. Luzerne Township
Cock, Michal Sr. Luzerne Township
