Hi there, Jim.
I read your interesting posting, and it reminded me of one that I posted to the COCKE Family Genforum.
When I was starting to trace the elusive Jester COCKE, Sr. of Virginia and his many descendants, I came across amazing info about his surname.
Here is a cut & paste of my posting:
Home: Surnames:Cocke Family Genealogy Forum
Surname COCKE = Gokin, Gookin, Googins, Gooking, Cockayn, Cokkys, Coques, ETC

COCKE = Cockes
COCKE = Cocks
COCKE = Cock
COCKE = Cok
COCKE = Coques
COCKE = Coke
COCKE = Cokkes
COCKE = Cokkys
COCKE = Coxe
COCKE = Le Cocke
COCKE = Cox
COCKE = Colkin
COCKE = Cockin
COCKE = Cockayn
COCKE = Gockin
COCKE = Gokin
COCKE = Gookin
COCKE = Gookins
COCKE = Gooking
COCKE = Goggin
The surname COCKE also is sometimes found spelled Cook or Cooke in records.
The above 20 variations of the surname COCKE allegedly once appeared in a genealogical study, spoken of in this posting at Rootsweb:
QUOTE "....let me share with you the range of spellings reported for the COCKE family during the same general time frame and the same neck of the woods I'm talking about. This information comes from an extremely well done genealogical study in a respected journal.
Here we go: COCKE: Cockes, Cocks, Cock, Cok, Coques, Coke, Cokkes, Cokkys. Coxe, Le Cock, Cox, Colkin, Cockin, Cockayn, Gockin, Gokin, Gookin, Gookins, Gooking, Goggin, etc.
So, if it is possible for the surname COCKE to have been spelled as Gookins, Goggins or Cockayn then it seems....."
