Notes for James Cock:
Cock History and Genealogy of the Cock Family by Cocks and Cox
(AP Cock) New York City Library

James Cock, ancestor of the Quaker Family of Long Island, New York was with small doubt born in old England, probably in the county of Norfolk - see Bloomfields History. In 1401Buckenham Manor formerly belonged to Bury Abby, it was divided into small parcels, for in the feodary of that year, Adam Cock of Buckenham and his partners held it - New Buckenham is about 12 miles S S W of Norwich. In 1479, John Coke was ordered buried in the new aisle of St. Martins Church in New Buckenham, and he gave 5 marks towards roofing of the church.

In 1631 "The site of the Close Alia Cromwells" Manor in Buckenham, Attleburgh and Besthrope was settled by George Cock, Esg., Robert, Richard and Francis Cock, Gentlemen. These towns are about 4 miles from New and Old Buckenham. This would have been of small account, but for the appearance on the Records of the Township of Oyster Bay on Long Island, New York, about 1730 of the name "Buckran" designating a territory then and formerly occupied by the descendants of James Cock; later shown to have been used in denoting the districts of the Highway Overseers of the town, thus
      1741 - George Frost for Buckenham
      1742 - Samson Hauxhurst for Buckenham
      1743 - Samson Hauxhurst for Buckenham
      1744 - Joshua Cock for Buckenham
      1745 - Joshua Cock for Buckenham
      1746 - Hezekiah Cock for Buckenham and continued in vogue as name of place and Post Office until about 1854, when the progressives of the period
voted fro the name of Locust Valley. On a 1974 map of the area, there appeared Buckenham Road between Lattingtown and Matinecock.

A tradition is to the effect that the vessel on which James Cock came to America, encountered a great storm in the midst of which a severe shock was felt as of stricking a rock and the vessel springing a leak, it was feared they were lost, but the persistent prayers of the passengers so prevailed that the ship was Brought to land at the Bermuda Islands and being "hove out" it appeared that the side of the vessel had been penetrated by the weapon of a great sword fish, which was broken off by the shock and remained imbedded int the planking.

Inquiries have been made and it is found that the Cock family was represented at the Burmudas even earlier than James Cock's arrival there. Whether he tarried a while or continued with the vessel is not known, but the records of the town of Southold, situated on the 'North Fluke" of the East end of Long Island, show a list of inha;bitants of the Village Plot in the period 1648 - 1658, the names of James Cock with those of James Underhill, John Baylis (from Bermuda), John Mapes (from County Norfolk, England) and Thomas Terry, all of whom were associated with him at Setauket and Oyster Bay.
These records also show that James Cock was in the use of a house and lot which Geoffery Eastry on Aug. 12, 1657 did sell to Thomas Mapes, conveyed on April 14 to Henry Case, describing it as late in occupation of James Cock.

James Cock next appears at Ashford on Cromwell Bay, alais Setauket, in the now town of Brookhaven, about 40 miles west of Southold, bounded north by the sound and being opposite Bridgeport, Connecticut. He was accompanied there by Captain John Underhill, William Frost, Thomas Mapes, John Baylis and probably by William Simpson and Samuel Dayton. With his neighbors at Setauket, he joined in the petition to the General Court at Hartford; the original of which is still to be seen in the Connecticut State Archives at Hartford -
      "Cromwell Bay alias Setauket Aug. 6. 1659
      General Court at Hartford, Vol 1, p. 40, Oct 6. 1659

James Cock seems to have had several allotments of Land in Setauket in 1667 which were assigned to Henry Perrin and as early as 1661 he appears in Oyster Bay as purchasing a house and house lot. This property was in the western part of town as the residential portion was called, near the mill built by the Townsends and here James Cock lived until 1669, acquiring by the Town Meeting, grants, purchases and exchanges, some considerable increase to his holdings; served in 1668 -1669 as one of four Overseers, who with the Constable Constituted the town government and in May of the latter year made
a contract with the Indians.
Under the forgoing Deed of Conveyance, 8 generations have here lived, about 250 years. (Oyster Bay - the water) (Oysterbay - the town)
