    There is this sentence in the family account of Dr. Charles L. Minor in 1852 : "Doodes Minor's son Peter was apprenticed by his mother, Mrs. Elizabeth Cocke, née Minor, to a Boston ship captain, John Phillips, in 1697, to learn the art and mystery of navigation, and afterwards ran away from his master, and never came home. A letter from him to his brother Garrett, written at Rotterdam (I think) was in possession of the second Garrett's son, Samuel O. Minor. I once made a copy of it."

    It is evident from this that Elizabeth Minor, wife of Doodes Minor, was not, as stated on page 197, Vol. VIII, perhaps a daughter of Nicholas Cock, but the wife of Maurice Cock, son of Nicholas (see Cock note, p. 47).

    She, in fact, married three times, (1) Doodes Minor, (2) Maurice Cock, (3) Thomas Blaise.
