    Notes:

    "William Henry Cocke came from Missouri west in 1850 with a small party, and rode horseback all the way. He spent a years out looking over the land. His father-in-law James Loftus, started with the party, but sickened with cholera and died in the vicinity of Kansas, and was buried along the trail. William Henry Cocke reached California, looked the land over and returned to Missouri, having been gone for a year. His wife, having no word in all this time, feared he was dead until he suddenly appeared one night while they were having supper. They emigrated to the West in 1854 when my father Francis Nathan was five years old. He spent the year of 1853 disposing of his property and in organizing a wagon train, of which he was to become the Wagonmaster. In the spring of 1854, all being ready, they started for California on the Overland Trail, coming through Salt Lake City. William Henry rode horseback all the way, supervising the wagon train, but his family came in a covered wagon drawn by horses.William Henry died at the age of forty-five while in Nevada on a cattle buying trip. Grandmother reached his side an hour before his death. She lived to be 74 years old, at the home of her son James Cocke, in Downey, California. William Henry had sent a telegram to her but it was held for two days in the local post office by carelessness, and did not reach his wife in time. She reached his side one hour before he died. He was buried in Nevada. The family intended to remove the remains to California later. This was never done." Author believed to be George Cocke, grandson of William Henry Cocke.
