But did you take a look at the name of the county where this occurred? Cocke county. Named for William Cocke. Who achieved the rank of Major in the military. (Major Cocke) Also, was a judge for a while. (The Honorable Cocke) He was elected Senator of Tennessee during the period where TN was still debating becoming a state, and his election was not accepted — he was cockblocked.
