My father Bernard Frederick Rawes collected a mass of material on the Dockery family in the 1980s of which the following 31 numbered sheets is a small part. The sheets were probably numbered by my father and sheet six is either missing or numbered incorrectly. It is not now known where he acquired them, it is either from a member of the Dockery family or more likely a history society in North Carolina or Maryland.
Judging by letters within the material it was probably gathered by Lizzie Dockery, my father's third cousin, who lived in Rockingham, North Carolina. Lizzie appears to have been gathering material from her cousin Henry Clay Dockery, of Charlotte, North Carolina, who died in 1965, and Wallace A Jones, of Washington, a more distant Turner cousin. Elizabeth Dockery 1879-1971, of Rockingham, was the daughter of Benjamin Franklin Dockery, brother of Henry Clay Dockery.
Within the material is a listing of Dockery Land Grants; the early development of Queen Anne's County, Maryland by Frederic Emery; the will of Matthew Dockery of Queen Anne's County; The will of Thomas Dockery of Richmond County; some letters; A line of descent from James and Kerenhappuch Turner.
