	JGG, Vol 1, #3
		Nicholas remained on this land, presumably for the rest of his life, but Samuel sold his some fifteen months later, and after the birth of a son, Peter, in St. Peter's Parish in 1687, was never heard from again.
		The presence of Samuel in Virginia in 1674, clearly casts great doubt on the story told by some early Gentry descendants to the effect that Samuel and Nicholas were "Redcoats" who were a part of the British Army forces sent to Virginia in 1677 for the purpose of quelling Nathaniel Bacon's Rebellion of 1676.
		If Samuel and Margaret were the parents of the Samuel and Nicholas Gentry of Virginia, Nicholas could have been born in the period between 1657 and 1663, but it is not very likely he could have been born in 1664 or later, given his service in the Virginia militia in 1680.

	JGG 2006 (B), Nicholas and Samuel Gentry
		Nicholas Cocke was a prominent member of Christ Church Parish of Middlesex County, Virginia.<2> Today we would think of him as perhaps a general contractor, for he was paid by the parish to construct church buildings and other structures.
		Samuel Gentry of Middlesex County and New Kent County, Virginia was the same Samuel as the son of Nathaniel Gentry of Kelvedon, whose baptism was recorded on 22 Jul 1649.
		We conclude further that Samuel and Nicholas were brothers and that Samuel probably moved from Kelvedon to London, was the first to sail to Virginia, and then was followed in a few years by Nicholas.
