John Alexander Cocke

John Alexander Cocke (1772 – February 16, 1854) was an American politician and soldier who represented Tennessee's 2nd district in the United States House of Representatives from 1819 to 1827. He also served several terms in the Tennessee Senate and the Tennessee House of Representatives, and was Speaker of the latter for two sessions (1811–1813 and 1837–1839). During the Creek War, Cocke commanded the Eastern Division of the Tennessee militia.
==Early life==
Cocke was born in Brunswick, Nottoway County, Virginia in 1772, the eldest son of frontiersman and future senator, William Cocke, and wife Mary (Maclin) Cocke. While still a young child, he moved with his parents across the Appalachian Mountains to what is now Tennessee, where his father was active in the State of Franklin movement. The family settled in what is now Grainger County, but was then part of Hawkins County. The younger Cocke studied law, and was admitted to the bar in 1793.〔Harriet Chappell Owsley, (John Cocke Papers (finding aid) ), Tennessee State Library and Archives, 1967. Retrieved: 21 February 2013.〕
Cocke was elected to the inaugural Tennessee Senate in 1796, serving until 1801. In 1807, he was elected to the Tennessee House of Representatives, and was elevated to Speaker in 1811.〔 On April 26, 1808, Cocke shot and mortally wounded Knoxville merchant Thomas Dardis in a duel.〔Mary Rothrock (ed.), ''The French Broad-Holston Country: A History of Knox County, Tennessee'' (Knoxville, Tenn.: East Tennessee Historical Society, 1972), pp. 348, 378, 408, 474.〕 In November 1811, during the first year of Cocke's speakership, the House voted to impeach his father, William, then a state supreme court justice.〔John Roderick Heller, ''(Democracy's Lawyer: Felix Grundy of the Old Southwest )'' (LSU Press, 2010), p. 157.〕
