Lelia Maria Smith Cocke (1859–1899) was an American painter. Born in Charlottesville, Virginia, Cocke was a descendant of Robert "King" Carter and William Thornton.[1][2] She was the daughter of Francis H. Smith, a professor of natural philosophy at the University of Virginia. She traveled to New York City to further her artistic education, taking lessons at the School of Design for Women at Cooper Union. In 1884 she returned to Virginia;[3] the following year, in a ceremony at the University of Virginia,[4] she married attorney Lucian Howard Cocke, a distant cousin,[1][2] who would go on to become the first Democrat elected mayor of Roanoke, Virginia.[5][2] The couple would have four children.[2] Cocke was active as a portraitist until her death in Roanoke.[3] Cocke was relatively prolific despite her short career, producing, according to one estimate, over sixty portraits in all before her death. Of these, many are in the collections of the University of Virginia and Hollins College,[6] of which latter her father-in-law Charles Lewis Cocke was founder and president.[7][1] References1. ^1 2 {{cite book|last=Sorley|first=Merrow Egerton|title=Lewis of Warner Hall: The History of a Family, Including the Genealogy of Descendants in Both the Male and Female Lines, Biographical Sketches of Its Members, and Their Descent from Other Early Virginia Families|year=1935|publisher=Genealogical Publishing Com|location=Baltimore, MD|pages=192}} {{authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Cocke, Lelia Smith}}{{US-painter-1850s-stub}}2. ^1 2 3 {{cite book|last=Bruce|first=Philip Alexander|title=Virginia; rebirth of the Old Dominion, Volume 4|year=1928|publisher=The Lewis publishing company|location=New York}} 3. ^1 {{cite book|author=Raleigh Lewis Wright|title=Artists in Virginia before 1900: an annotated checklist|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=QNgjAAAAMAAJ|year=1983|publisher=University Press of Virginia|isbn=978-0-8139-0998-1}} 4. ^{{cite book|author=John T.
