The most up-to-date treatment of Cockacoeske is in a work by the National Park Service entitld "Colonial National Historical Park: A Study of Virginia Indians..."

Concerning the date of Cckacoeske's death and who succeeded her as stated in the above work:

On July 1, 1686, the Pamunkey interpreter, George Smith, informed the Governor that the Pamunkey Queen "was lately dead and that ye Pamunkey Indians did desire that ye late Queen's niece ...upon [whom] ye right of Government of that Indian nation doe devolve, might succeed." Virginia's governor might have expected to see the succession pass to the Queen's own half-English son, but traditional ideas of inheritance still prevailed among the Pamunkeys. In 1702 the name of "Ms. Betty Queen ye Queen" of the Pamunkey Indians was mentioned in a land transaction and by 1708 that of Queen Ann began appearing in official documents.

I have corrected the Wikipedia entry for Cockacoeske to change the date of her death from 1720 to 1686. Also to distinguish between her and Queen Anne who was her secnd successor.

Prior to 1679, my ancestor Cornelius Dabney was interpreter to Cockacoeske and genealogies state that Cornelius Dabney's second wife Susannah was the granddaughter of Cockacoeske and her husband Totopotomoi. I am still compiling evidence for this assertion and hope eventually to prepare a short biography of Cornelius Dabney based in part on his letters in the 1670's to the British government interpreting statements by Cockacoeske.
