By the age of twenty-one, Cocke was the master of over 5,500 acres of land in Surry and Fluvanna counties. A\n         few years after Cocke married Anne Blaws Barraud (\"Nancy\") of Norfolk, Virginia in 1802, he sold his Surry County holdings\n         and moved to a frame dwelling at Bremo Recess, Fluvanna County, and began work on a finer home, \"Bremo.\" He owned\n         three large plantations along the James River, Bremo Recess, Upper Bremo, and Lower Bremo, each containing over a thousand\n         acres of land. During the War of 1812, Cocke served in the Virginia militia, rising from captain to brigadier general in\n         eighteen months. His first wife, Anne Blaws Barraud Cocke (1785-1816) did not live to see the completion of \"Bremo\" in\n         1820, but Cocke and his second wife, Louisa Maxwell Holmes (m. 1821), lived there until their deaths.","Other milestones in the life of John Hartwell Cocke include his elections as Vice-President of the Virginia Temperance\n         Society in 1830 and as President in 1834; his election as President of the United States Temperance Union in 1836; his\n         membership on the University of Virginia Board of Visitors from its inception as Central College in 1819 until 1852;\n         membership on the Virginia Board of Public Works, 1823-1829; his primary role in the founding of the Agricultural Society\n         of Albemarle in 1817; and service on the James River and Kanawha Canal Company Board of Directors. John Hartwell Cocke\n         was greatly troubled by the issue of slavery, and he concentrated his time and money in promoting the American\n         Colonization Society, and preparing his slaves for gradual emancipation through vocational training and teaching them to\n         read and write.","The papers of the Cocke family of Fluvanna County, Virginia, and related Barraud family, Faulcon family, and\n         other families, consist of ca. 25,000 items, (194 Hollinger boxes, ca. 64.5 linear shelf feet), 1725- 1939, and contains\n         correspondence, legal and financial papers, diaries of John Hartwell Cocke, Louisa Maxwell Holmes Cocke, and Lucy Cocke,\n         minutes of the Board of Visitors of the University ofVirginia, diagrams and sketches concerning the University,\n         bound volumes, sketches and drawings, college and school notes, poetry, orations and speeches, essays, genealogy, and\n         lists pertaining to agriculture, music and other subjects.","Major topics covered by the collection include: the development of agriculture in Virginia, merino sheep, horse\n         breeding and purchases, slavery, the American Colonization Society, temperance movement, other religious and reform\n         groups, book dealers, religion, the War of 1812, the Civil War, public education (including the Bremo Seminary), the\n         founding and development of the University of Virginia and public improvements.

Only the 108 \"working slaves\" were questioned regarding whether they professed Christianity.

John Hartwell Cocke\n         was greatly troubled by the issue of slavery, and he concentrated his time and money in promoting the American\n         Colonization Society, and preparing his slaves for gradual emancipation through vocational training and teaching them to\n         read and write."],"prefercite_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eCocke Family Papers, Accession #640, etc., Special\n            Collections, University of Virginia Library,\n            Charlottesville, Va.\u003c/p\u003e\n      "],"prefercite_tesim":["Cocke Family Papers, Accession #640, etc., Special\n            Collections, University of Virginia Library,\n            Charlottesville, Va."],"scopecontent_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eThe papers of the Cocke family of Fluvanna County, Virginia, and related Barraud family, Faulcon family, and\n         other families, consist of ca. 25,000 items, (194 Hollinger boxes, ca. 64.5 linear shelf feet), 1725- 1939, and contains\n         correspondence, legal and financial papers, diaries of John Hartwell Cocke, Louisa Maxwell Holmes Cocke, and Lucy Cocke,\n         minutes of the Board of Visitors of the University ofVirginia, diagrams and sketches concerning the University,\n         bound volumes, sketches and drawings, college and school notes, poetry, orations and speeches, essays, genealogy, and\n         lists pertaining to agriculture, music and other subjects.\u003c/p\u003e\n      ","\u003cp\u003eMajor topics covered by the collection include: the development of agriculture in Virginia, merino sheep, horse\n         breeding and purchases, slavery, the American Colonization Society, temperance movement, other religious and reform\n         groups, book dealers, religion, the War of 1812, the Civil War, public education (including the Bremo Seminary), the\n         founding and development of the University of Virginia and public improvements.

During the \n         Battle of New Market, where his brother\n         William was fatally wounded, he was a cadet private in Company\n         C and was detailed to serve in the artillery section of the \n         V.M.I. Corps. He continued in service\n         with the corps until the evacuation of \n         Richmondin April 1865. On January 22,\n         1865, a few days after being appointed a sergeant in Company\n         B, Charles wrote his father, asking his advice as to whether\n         or not he should resign \n         V.M.I.to join the army, and, if so, what\n         branch he should enter.","James Graham Tateentered \n         Emory and Henry Collegein 1859 and\n         remained until the spring of 186l. His letters during this\n         time were mostly concerned with school, family and friends in \n         Wythe County, and wanting news of the\n         \"ladies.\" On January 10, 1861, he wrote his brother John\n         mentioning that he wanted to finish school but that he\n         anticipated being called upon to fight soon. On May ll, 1861,\n         he enlisted in the \n         Wythe Grayswhich later became \n         Company A of the 4th Regiment of\n         Virginia, organized April 28, 1861; the regiment\n         was accepted into Confederate service on July 1, 1861. In June\n         1861 he wrote from \n         Harper's Ferry, Virginiaabout elections\n         in his company and adapting to life in the barracks; and\n         later, from \n         Camp Stevens, Berkeley County, he\n         described the burning of the Potomac Bridge and public\n         buildings which had been ordered by \n         Joseph E. Johnstonas the Confederates\n         evacuated \n         Harper's Ferry. The 4th Regiment became a\n         part of the \n         Virginia First Brigade, which had\n         established itself as the \n         \"Stonewall Brigade\"at the First \n         Bull RunCampaign, July 1, 1861. During\n         August and September of that year, he discusses the loss of\n         his knapsack and blankets after a skirmish, requested that his\n         father send \n         \"Burkhart\"to help in the mess and take\n         care of luggage, and mentioned the court martial of a\n         deserter, \n         Francis Tomney. And, as their marching\n         continued, he wondered about their purpose. An interesting\n         letter of April 3, 1862, pertains to their orders to take\n         their pieces of artillery to \n         Staunton, Virginiaand having to use\n         muskets again, the men wanting transfers to artillery and\n         cavalry companies, and losing some 76 men in their regiment\n         while fighting on March 23 (probably at the \n         First Battle of Kernstown, Virginia). It\n         was not until April 30 that \n         \"Stonewall\" Jacksonleft \n         Elk Runheading for \n         Staunton, which became a major part of\n         the \n         Shenandoah ValleyCampaign. During 1863,\n         the Confederate armies seemed to be faced with severe\n         hardships, including a shortage of rations, the reduction of\n         transportation, and the scarcity of \"white labor.\" In the\n         spring of 1863, James revealed his disappointment in southern\n         farmers for avoiding their duty by not growing grain to feed\n         the men in the Confederate armies. In a March 1863 letter,\n         Tate mentions \n         \"Jeb\" Stuart's fight with the enemy,\n         calling it a \"right brilliant little affair,\" probably in\n         reference to the Battle of \n         Kelly's Fordin late December when the\n         Federal Army pulled back from the site after a day's fighting.\n         The following month, April 1863, he writes of marching toward \n         Port Royalto meet the enemy who was\n         crossing \n         [the Rappahannock], only to find that\n         they had recrossed. At this time there had been a three-day\n         Federal expedition operating from \n         Bell Plainto Port Royal. In late October\n         1863, Tate describes the engagement at \n         Bristoe Stationon the 14th which brought\n         criticism to General \n         Ambrose P. Hillwho had \"ordered only two\n         brigades\" to make the charge on General \n         George Gordon Meade's \n         Army of the Potomac. The following year, \n         James Graham Tatewas killed at \n         Shepherdstown, Virginiaon August 25.","William Hanson Tatebecame a cadet at the \n         Virginia Military Instituteon July 30,\n         1857, and was a member of the \n         Cadet Corps. While at \n         V.M.I., he wrote of living arrangements,\n         social activities, new cadet initiation, and news of family\n         and friends. In his September 4, 1857, letter, he gave a\n         lengthy description of living in \"encampment,\" mentioning the\n         barracks and guard duty. As early as October 1857, he was\n         looking forward to the cadets' trip to \n         Richmondin February 1858; and, on March\n         8, 1858, he wrote an interesting and lengthy account of the\n         trip to \n         Richmondduring which the cadets\n         represented the \n         Virginia Military Instituteat the\n         dedication of the Crawford equestrian statue of \n         George Washingtonin the city's Capitol\n         Square on February 22, 1858. In the fall of 1859 he became a\n         teacher at the \n         Anchor and Hope Academyas all \n         V.M.I.men were expected to serve some\n         time as teachers. Between October 1859 and June 1860, his\n         letters contained news of the school; and, on February 14,\n         1860, he mentioned a trip to Richmond being planned by \"Uncle\n         David\" [Squire \n         David Graham] and his father. During this\n         time he was on the muster roll of the \n         Wythe Grays, although his real military\n         service was in the \n         51st Regiment of the Virginia Volunteers.\n         He was elected First Lieutenant upon its organization in May\n         1861. On November 20, 1861, he described their retreat from \n         Cotton Hillwhich resulted in considerable\n         loss of property, General \n         John Buchanan Floyd's delay and retreat\n         tactics, and illness among the men. In May and June 1862, his\n         letters pertained to skirmishes in \n         Princeton, and mentioned Colonel \n         Gabriel Calvin Wharton, General \n         Henry Heth, General \n         [John Buchanan] Floyd, and General \n         Humphrey Marshall. Later, on August 26,\n         1863, he wrote of a visit to the \n         \"Stone Wall Brigade\"while at \n         Liberty Mills. In November 1863, in camp\n         near \n         Blountville, Tennessee, he wrote of his\n         command witnessing the execution of three deserters from the\n         Confederate Army, their orders to move toward \n         Knoxville, Tennesseeand rumors of \n         Knoxvillebeing captured by General \n         James Longstreet. During November 4-22\n         the siege of \n         Knoxvillewas underway, but the\n         Confederate Army was forced to retreat in early December. On\n         May 1, 1864, while encamped near his home, \n         Max Meadows, he wrote that it was his\n         duty to remain with his company while so close to their home.\n         Soon afterwards, on May 15th, he was killed in the Battle of \n         New Marketwhile leading a charge. At his\n         death he was Captain of \n         Company B, 51st Regiment, Wharton's\n         Brigade.","See the \n            \n            University of Virginia Library’s use policy.","University of Virginia.

During the \n         Battle of New Market, where his brother\n         William was fatally wounded, he was a cadet private in Company\n         C and was detailed to serve in the artillery section of the \n         V.M.I. Corps. He continued in service\n         with the corps until the evacuation of \n         Richmondin April 1865. On January 22,\n         1865, a few days after being appointed a sergeant in Company\n         B, Charles wrote his father, asking his advice as to whether\n         or not he should resign \n         V.M.I.to join the army, and, if so, what\n         branch he should enter.","James Graham Tateentered \n         Emory and Henry Collegein 1859 and\n         remained until the spring of 186l. His letters during this\n         time were mostly concerned with school, family and friends in \n         Wythe County, and wanting news of the\n         \"ladies.\" On January 10, 1861, he wrote his brother John\n         mentioning that he wanted to finish school but that he\n         anticipated being called upon to fight soon. On May ll, 1861,\n         he enlisted in the \n         Wythe Grayswhich later became \n         Company A of the 4th Regiment of\n         Virginia, organized April 28, 1861; the regiment\n         was accepted into Confederate service on July 1, 1861. In June\n         1861 he wrote from \n         Harper's Ferry, Virginiaabout elections\n         in his company and adapting to life in the barracks; and\n         later, from \n         Camp Stevens, Berkeley County, he\n         described the burning of the Potomac Bridge and public\n         buildings which had been ordered by \n         Joseph E. Johnstonas the Confederates\n         evacuated \n         Harper's Ferry. The 4th Regiment became a\n         part of the \n         Virginia First Brigade, which had\n         established itself as the \n         \"Stonewall Brigade\"at the First \n         Bull RunCampaign, July 1, 1861. During\n         August and September of that year, he discusses the loss of\n         his knapsack and blankets after a skirmish, requested that his\n         father send \n         \"Burkhart\"to help in the mess and take\n         care of luggage, and mentioned the court martial of a\n         deserter, \n         Francis Tomney. And, as their marching\n         continued, he wondered about their purpose. An interesting\n         letter of April 3, 1862, pertains to their orders to take\n         their pieces of artillery to \n         Staunton, Virginiaand having to use\n         muskets again, the men wanting transfers to artillery and\n         cavalry companies, and losing some 76 men in their regiment\n         while fighting on March 23 (probably at the \n         First Battle of Kernstown, Virginia). It\n         was not until April 30 that \n         \"Stonewall\" Jacksonleft \n         Elk Runheading for \n         Staunton, which became a major part of\n         the \n         Shenandoah ValleyCampaign. During 1863,\n         the Confederate armies seemed to be faced with severe\n         hardships, including a shortage of rations, the reduction of\n         transportation, and the scarcity of \"white labor.\" In the\n         spring of 1863, James revealed his disappointment in southern\n         farmers for avoiding their duty by not growing grain to feed\n         the men in the Confederate armies. In a March 1863 letter,\n         Tate mentions \n         \"Jeb\" Stuart's fight with the enemy,\n         calling it a \"right brilliant little affair,\" probably in\n         reference to the Battle of \n         Kelly's Fordin late December when the\n         Federal Army pulled back from the site after a day's fighting.\n         The following month, April 1863, he writes of marching toward \n         Port Royalto meet the enemy who was\n         crossing \n         [the Rappahannock], only to find that\n         they had recrossed. At this time there had been a three-day\n         Federal expedition operating from \n         Bell Plainto Port Royal. In late October\n         1863, Tate describes the engagement at \n         Bristoe Stationon the 14th which brought\n         criticism to General \n         Ambrose P. Hillwho had \"ordered only two\n         brigades\" to make the charge on General \n         George Gordon Meade's \n         Army of the Potomac. The following year, \n         James Graham Tatewas killed at \n         Shepherdstown, Virginiaon August 25.","William Hanson Tatebecame a cadet at the \n         Virginia Military Instituteon July 30,\n         1857, and was a member of the \n         Cadet Corps. While at \n         V.M.I., he wrote of living arrangements,\n         social activities, new cadet initiation, and news of family\n         and friends. In his September 4, 1857, letter, he gave a\n         lengthy description of living in \"encampment,\" mentioning the\n         barracks and guard duty. As early as October 1857, he was\n         looking forward to the cadets' trip to \n         Richmondin February 1858; and, on March\n         8, 1858, he wrote an interesting and lengthy account of the\n         trip to \n         Richmondduring which the cadets\n         represented the \n         Virginia Military Instituteat the\n         dedication of the Crawford equestrian statue of \n         George Washingtonin the city's Capitol\n         Square on February 22, 1858. In the fall of 1859 he became a\n         teacher at the \n         Anchor and Hope Academyas all \n         V.M.I.men were expected to serve some\n         time as teachers. Between October 1859 and June 1860, his\n         letters contained news of the school; and, on February 14,\n         1860, he mentioned a trip to Richmond being planned by \"Uncle\n         David\" [Squire \n         David Graham] and his father. During this\n         time he was on the muster roll of the \n         Wythe Grays, although his real military\n         service was in the \n         51st Regiment of the Virginia Volunteers.\n         He was elected First Lieutenant upon its organization in May\n         1861. On November 20, 1861, he described their retreat from \n         Cotton Hillwhich resulted in considerable\n         loss of property, General \n         John Buchanan Floyd's delay and retreat\n         tactics, and illness among the men. In May and June 1862, his\n         letters pertained to skirmishes in \n         Princeton, and mentioned Colonel \n         Gabriel Calvin Wharton, General \n         Henry Heth, General \n         [John Buchanan] Floyd, and General \n         Humphrey Marshall. Later, on August 26,\n         1863, he wrote of a visit to the \n         \"Stone Wall Brigade\"while at \n         Liberty Mills. In November 1863, in camp\n         near \n         Blountville, Tennessee, he wrote of his\n         command witnessing the execution of three deserters from the\n         Confederate Army, their orders to move toward \n         Knoxville, Tennesseeand rumors of \n         Knoxvillebeing captured by General \n         James Longstreet. During November 4-22\n         the siege of \n         Knoxvillewas underway, but the\n         Confederate Army was forced to retreat in early December. On\n         May 1, 1864, while encamped near his home, \n         Max Meadows, he wrote that it was his\n         duty to remain with his company while so close to their home.\n         Soon afterwards, on May 15th, he was killed in the Battle of \n         New Marketwhile leading a charge.

On May ll, 1861,\n         he enlisted in the \n         \u003ccorpname\u003eWythe Grays\u003c/corpname\u003ewhich later became \n         \u003ccorpname\u003eCompany A of the 4th Regiment of\n         Virginia\u003c/corpname\u003e, organized April 28, 1861; the regiment\n         was accepted into Confederate service on July 1, 1861. In June\n         1861 he wrote from \n         \u003cgeogname\u003eHarper's Ferry, Virginia\u003c/geogname\u003eabout elections\n         in his company and adapting to life in the barracks; and\n         later, from \n         \u003cgeogname\u003eCamp Stevens, Berkeley County\u003c/geogname\u003e, he\n         described the burning of the Potomac Bridge and public\n         buildings which had been ordered by \n         \u003cpersname\u003eJoseph E.

The 4th Regiment became a\n         part of the \n         \u003ccorpname\u003eVirginia First Brigade\u003c/corpname\u003e, which had\n         established itself as the \n         \u003ccorpname\u003e\"Stonewall Brigade\"\u003c/corpname\u003eat the First \n         \u003cgeogname\u003eBull Run\u003c/geogname\u003eCampaign, July 1, 1861. During\n         August and September of that year, he discusses the loss of\n         his knapsack and blankets after a skirmish, requested that his\n         father send \n         \u003cpersname\u003e\"Burkhart\"\u003c/persname\u003eto help in the mess and take\n         care of luggage, and mentioned the court martial of a\n         deserter, \n         \u003cpersname\u003eFrancis Tomney\u003c/persname\u003e. And, as their marching\n         continued, he wondered about their purpose. An interesting\n         letter of April 3, 1862, pertains to their orders to take\n         their pieces of artillery to \n         \u003cgeogname\u003eStaunton, Virginia\u003c/geogname\u003eand having to use\n         muskets again, the men wanting transfers to artillery and\n         cavalry companies, and losing some 76 men in their regiment\n         while fighting on March 23 (probably at the \n         \u003ccorpname\u003eFirst Battle of Kernstown, Virginia\u003c/corpname\u003e).

During 1863,\n         the Confederate armies seemed to be faced with severe\n         hardships, including a shortage of rations, the reduction of\n         transportation, and the scarcity of \"white labor.\" In the\n         spring of 1863, James revealed his disappointment in southern\n         farmers for avoiding their duty by not growing grain to feed\n         the men in the Confederate armies. In a March 1863 letter,\n         Tate mentions \n         \u003cpersname\u003e\"Jeb\" Stuart\u003c/persname\u003e's fight with the enemy,\n         calling it a \"right brilliant little affair,\" probably in\n         reference to the Battle of \n         \u003cgeogname\u003eKelly's Ford\u003c/geogname\u003ein late December when the\n         Federal Army pulled back from the site after a day's fighting.\n         The following month, April 1863, he writes of marching toward \n         \u003cgeogname\u003ePort Royal\u003c/geogname\u003eto meet the enemy who was\n         crossing \n         \u003cgeogname\u003e[the Rappahannock]\u003c/geogname\u003e, only to find that\n         they had recrossed.

In late October\n         1863, Tate describes the engagement at \n         \u003cgeogname\u003eBristoe Station\u003c/geogname\u003eon the 14th which brought\n         criticism to General \n         \u003cpersname\u003eAmbrose P.

In his September 4, 1857, letter, he gave a\n         lengthy description of living in \"encampment,\" mentioning the\n         barracks and guard duty. As early as October 1857, he was\n         looking forward to the cadets' trip to \n         \u003cgeogname\u003eRichmond\u003c/geogname\u003ein February 1858; and, on March\n         8, 1858, he wrote an interesting and lengthy account of the\n         trip to \n         \u003cgeogname\u003eRichmond\u003c/geogname\u003eduring which the cadets\n         represented the \n         \u003ccorpname\u003eVirginia Military Institute\u003c/corpname\u003eat the\n         dedication of the Crawford equestrian statue of \n         \u003cpersname\u003eGeorge Washington\u003c/persname\u003ein the city's Capitol\n         Square on February 22, 1858.
