'William Middleton, of this town (Castor, Norfolk), blacksmith, by will dated Jan. 20, 1647 ... gave to the poor ... and tied all his house and ground ... for payment thereof, which are now in the possession of Benjamin Cogman': History of Norfolk.

Norfolk has given us several of these names; v. Bargeman, Boatman, Sec. Probably Cockman has absorbed this name, of which I see six in the London Directory. As shown above, Cockboat and Cockswain have undergone the same change.
