I see that some files on RootsWeb WorldConnect show that the Rice Jones who 
married Frances Bowman was a son of the older Rice Jones who married Jane 
Cock/Cocke.  Jane Cock (died 1694) was a daughter of Nicholas Cock and 
Nicholas' wife, the widow Mrs. Jane (Unknown) Curtis (the widow of 
Bartholomew Curtis).  After the older Rice Jones died, the widow Mrs. Jane 
(Cock) Jones married second to Lt. John Smith (a son of Alexander Smith, who 
was in the Lancaster Co., VA area by at least the 1650s).  Alexander Smith 
and his son Lt. John Smith (and hence, Lt. John Smith's wife Jane Cock) are 
my ancestors on my "mother's side."  Nicholas Cock had a son who was named 
Maurice Cock....and the given name of "Maurice" was also used several times 
in the Lt. John Smith/Jane Cock family.  When Maurice Cock wrote his will in 
1696, he mentioned his nephews....orphans of the older Rice Jones....who 
were named John Jones, Rice Jones (the one who married Frances Bowman, I 
presume) and Nicholas Jones.
