Will Book 5 pg 398
I William Cook of Henrico Co. Virginia do make this my last
will and testament being of sound mind, tho of great debility
of body. First that all my just debts be paid by my Executor
by the sale of my personal or real estate according to their judgement
as may seem best to do. I bequeath to m loving wife Elizabeth
Cook during her life, one third of the income of the whole of
my estate and also my black man Billy, to her in absolute property.
Third, I bequeath to my kinsman John Burges (sic) [Could
this have been Elizabeth's father?] two hundred and fifty
dollars per annum during his life to be paid him half yearly,
and I do hereby revoke the entry in my ledge in his favour for
four hundred dollars. Fourthly, I bequeath to my son William
Cook, my copy of the encyclopedia and my watch. Fifthly, I devise
and bequeath unto my children William, Caroline and Emeline
[my ggrandmother Emily Cooke Shore Watkins' mother] all
my estate both real and personal subject to the presiding
(?) bequests to be equally divided between them at their
respective ages of twenty one or marriage. Sixthly, I bequeath
to John A. Binford three hundred dollars and request my executor
to employ him as collector or agent in preference to any other
person in the settling of my business. Seventhly, if my executor
shall think it most advantageous to the settling up
(sic) my business, I do hereby empower him to keep open
any shop and employ (?) hands and workmen for the period of nine
or twelve months at his discretion. Eighthly, I do hereby constitute
my friend George Blakey the guardian of all my children. [THIS is why Blakey was Emeline's guardian at
the time of her marriage to Judge John Shore.] Ninthly
and lastly, I do constitute and appoint my said friend George
Blakey my sole executor to carry into effect this will and testament,
and do enjoin it on the persons authorized to require security
from him that he be released from the duty of giving the signed
and sealed (illegible word) as my
last will and testament, hereby revoking all others. This thirteenth
day of April eighteen hundred and twenty.

Admon (Administration?) on the Estate of Wm. Cook Granted
At a monthly court held for Henrico County at the court house
on Tuesday the fourth day of June one thousand eight hundred and
twenty two.
On the reading of William Price, Reuben Burton and William
Burton who are the securities for Robert Douthat's due and faithful
administration of the estate of William Cook deceased, and who
suggest to the court that they apprehend danger of suffering thereby,
it is ordered that the said Robert Douthat administrator with
the will annexed by William Cook deceased, be summoned to appear
here and show cause if any he can, why he should not give the
said William Price, Reuben Burton, and William M. Burton sufficient
counter security for the due and faithful administration of the
estate of the said William Cook, and to abide such order as the
court may make in the premises; and thereupon the said Robert
Douthat administrator as aforesaid by John G. Williams his attorney
comes into court and refuses to give the said William Price, Reuben
Burton and William M. Burton counter security as required, and
consents that the administration with the will annexed granted
him on the estate of the said William Cook deceased the fifth
day of June 1820 be revoked and annulled from this day which is
accordingly ordered by the court and on the motion of Matthew
C. Lackland, who made oath according to law, and with John A.
Lancaster and Charles Palmer his securities entered into and acknowledged
a bond in the penalty of twenty thousand dollars conditioned as
the law directs, a certificate was granted him for obtaining letters
of administration on the estate of the said William Cook deceased
with his will annexed, unadministered by the said Robert Douthat
in due form.

Now with the will annexed of William Cook deceased and that he
conceives himself in danger of suffering thereby, and praying

My father Luke Watkins CLARKE, was born
in Richmond, VA 4 Feb 1908 (d. 19 Dec 1997). His mother was Charlotte
Belle Watkins b. 1872 who married Robert Dandridge CLARKE in 1892.
Emily Cooke Shore Watkins was Charlotte's mother. Both Emily
and Charlotte are buried in Oakwood Cemetery, while Robert CLARKE
is buried on his former homeplace, The Old Tavern Farm in Quinton,
New Kent Co. Mr. CLARKE was a Civil War veteran born in 1833
or 1835, serving with Ellet's Pamunkey Heavy Artillery and the
24th VA Cavalry till the end of the war. Please contact me for
further research on the following familes - COOK, SHORE, WATKINS,
and CLARKE - all of the Richmond area.
William COOK's daughter Emeline was
my 2nd great grandmother through her marriage to Judge John SHORE
of Richmond. Their daughter (William's granddaughter) Emily Cooke
SHORE married James Harvey WATKINS b. King and Queen Co. and died
in Richmond, Va. It was Emily who sold the 60+ acres to the City
of Richmond that became Oakwood Cemetery. Here is the transcription
of that WPA document:
WPA Historical Inventory #91, research by Malcolm T. Earley
Mar 30, 1930:
Par. 4, Owners:
"Sixty acres comprised the purchase in 1854 from the estate
of Emily C. Shores
(sic, should be Shore), the original
property having belonged to Judge Shores
[probably as husband to Emmeline who was the direct heir of William
Cooke. CCG].
This property was bought by William Cooke from John New in 1821,
subsequently
bought by the city of Richmond from Emily C. Shores, one of William
Cooke's
heirs, August 20, 1854. The deed was recorded August 16, 1854."
Par. 5, Description:
"This cemetery contained sixty acres when purchased......."
Par. 6, Historical Significance
"The price paid for the land upon which Oakwood Cemetery
is laid out was ten
thousand dollars. The first interment here was a child by the
name of Farmer who
was buried July 19, 1855......"

I have transcribed these pages to the best of my ability.
No doubt there are errors in some of the transcriptions and possibly
in the order of some of the items listed on 'continued' pages
and/or columns. I have supplied the decimal points in lieu of
the vertical lines on the original documents, and some zeros following
an indicated decimal when the total dollar amount clearly shows
the unit amount was figured as hundredths of a dollar (cents).
I have not included all ditto (") marks as in many cases
it was impossible to determine from the photocopies if these actually
existed, and when they were evident, in which column they belonged.
I have included them where they were clearly legible, along with
the other markings, (ie; Do = Ditto as does " and ~).
