http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/122388399

This collection consists of genealogical materials, family correspondence, financial records, legal records, promissory notes, photographs, and notebooks. The family correspondence covers a broad range of subjects and time periods. One letter, 1861, describes the sewing of a Confederate flag. The other correspondence discusses politics and family in the late 19th century, the early courtship of Clara Cocke and Forney Johnston and the early twentieth century. The financial records range from slave contracts in the 1820's to legal and estate battles in the twentieth century involving members of the Cocke family. The photograph series includes several fine daguerreotypes as well as later snapshots. The notebooks belonged to Clara Vernon Cocke and contain school notes and recipes.
