[edit] J. E. B. Stuart

Did you know that Jeb Stuart was Cooke's son-in-law? I learned that from Smithsonian's Great Battles of the Civil War series. 68.228.149.192 (talk) 04:06, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

Oops. Sorry, forgot that was in there. Anyway, did Cooke ever feel a great affection over Jeb's death at Yellow Tavern, even after he seceded from the Union? 68.228.149.192 (talk) 04:09, 27 January 2008 (UTC)


It seems probable to me that this PSGC is of some relation to Philip St. George Cocke, yet another wealthy Virginia general who commanded a brigade for the CSA at the First Battle of Bull Run. Cocke was the only Confederate general to commit suicide, on December 26, 1861. Cocke does not yet have a Wikipedia entry. Sofa King (talk) 03:59, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
