Willis Perry Bocock (February 22, 1807 – March 14, 1887) was a nineteenth-century American politician from Virginia. He served as the Attorney General of Virginia, as a member of the Virginia General Assembly, and as a representative to the Virginia Constitutional Convention of 1850.
Bocock was born in Buckingham County, Virginia in 1807, before it split to form Appomattox County. He was educated at the University of Virginia, receiving a Bachelor of Laws degree in 1835.[1]
As an adult, Bocock established a law practice in Appomattox, and served several terms in the General Assembly.[2]
Bocock served as the Virginia Attorney General from 1852 to 1857.[3]
In 1850, Bocock was elected to the Virginia Constitutional Convention of 1850. He was one of three delegates elected from the Southside delegate district made up of his home district of Appomattox County, as well as Charlotte and Prince Edward Counties.[4]
A dangerous fall made him a cripple, and he resigned his Attorney General's office, relocating to Macon, Hale County, Alabama where he "led the life of a private gentleman."[5]
Willis Perry Bocock died in Macon, Hale County, Alabama in 1887.[6]
