  === Contributed by Ralph D. Smith June 18, 1835 - "Catherine Tennison wife (or widow) of Joshua Tennison gives power of attorney in Washington, D.C. to establish claim for Revolutionary War Pension for her dead father, John Catesby Cocke who served as a captain of marines in the Virginia State Navy." Source: William W. Tennis, citing (1) Dorman, John F., "Va. Revolutionary Pension Applications," Vol. 20, p. 49, and (2) Burgess, "Virginia Soldiers of 1776," Vol. 3, p. 1451. Comment: The only information on John Catesby Cocke in Virgil Lewis' "Abstracts of Revolutionary War Pension Applications" (p. 690) is that his pension application was dated May 21, 1838, that it was made in Culpeper Co., Va., and that he was a Captain in the Marine Corps. Apr. 28, 1851 - "Both Catherine Tennison and Joshua Tennison had died by this date leaving a daughter Margaret A. Tennison who resides alternately in Fauquier and Loudoun Counties, a daughter who married Myers residing in Washington City and a son Tennison, now a lieutenant in the United States Navy."
