This is my first post to the list & I am hoping someone else out there
is looking for Cockrums. My Fannie E. Cockrum married Jessie Tanksley
March 18, 1865 in Nashville, Tennessee. Their children were Annie
Emily, Sarah Catherine, Jessie Jr - Tanksley. Would love to correspond
with anyone else working this line.

Hi,
I'm trying to locate information on the family of Conley Cochran (b - ca 1781/
d ca 1852, Shelby Co., TN) and wife Nancy Cassidy (b ? / d ca 1847, Shelby
Co., TN). Both were born and married in Ireland. They came to the US,
stopping first in Washington Co., VA and then moved to Shelby County, TN
around 1844.
Conley and Nancy supposedly had 13 children. I have information on 6 of them:
1) Mary Ann, b ca 1820 in VA, md - MELTON
2) Marcus E., b ca 1822 in VA / d 18 May 1873 in Shelby Co,
md - Sophie E. LEAKE on 25 Sept 1849 in Shelby Co., TN
3) Eliza, b ca 1825 in VA
4) Francis T. (male), b ca 1827 in VA / d ca 1872 in Crittendon Co., AR
5) Theodosia, b ca 1831 in VA / d 12 Aug 1872 in Shelby Co., TN
6) John W., b 24 May 1835 in VA /d 14 Jan 1899 in Shelby Co., TN
md - Ida Carr WILLIAMS
Does anyone have any information on this family? If not, can any one steer me
in the right direction?
Thanks,
Debbie

Greetings:
Anyone on the list have Cochran's in or near Lehighton, Pennsylvania
for the 1890's???
My grandfather, Robert Frederick Cochran, was born in 1886, somewhere
near Lehighton, Pennsylvania. He has two sisters: Flora b. 18??; and
Beulah b. 1894. I'm not sure if they were born in Carbon County, or an
adjacent county. He moved to Michigan about 1914. When he retired from
Ford Motor Co., he took me on a summer tour to meet my "Pennsylvania
relatives." Unfortunately, I was too young at the time to understand
the importance of it and failed to take notes. As I recall, neither of
his sisters had children, so all the "relatives" were children of my
grandfather's cousins.

I'm new to the list, and I'm seeking information on my g-g-g-grandmother. I don't have very much information, but I'll give you what I have.
Polly Cochran (b. 1809) married Berry Odum.
Their daughter, Diannah Odom married my g-g-grandfather Henry Gadd Robertson, and they lived in Lauderdale Co., AL.
I know that's not much to go on, but any help on this line would be appreciated.
Thanks,

Can anyone help me find the parents of this William Cockram? The spelling has

such as: Moses, William, Nathanial and James. Some believe they may have
come from Surry Co, NC, but wonder if anyone else would have some ideas as I'm
up against the wall. I'm going to give you the whole line just in case
someone has pertinent info on any of the others also. Please if this is too
much at one time let me know. Thanks!

I am looking for more information regarding Barnabus "Barney" Cochran b
@1756 Ireland.
I have very little actual info on Barney. I have pieced it together from
cousins' word of mouth, various postings from other people looking for
Barney and stuff from the internet.
I have been searching for the father of Harvey Anthony Cochran b 1824
Blount cty TN, d 1865 in the Sultana explosion. Several people have
assured me that it was Barnabus but I have never found proof. Today I
was sent a reference to Barney and Harvey buying land together in Blount
cty. Combined with years of assurances and the fact that there are
several Barney's in my branch I am going to believe it.
Now I am trying to piece together Barney's life.
* I have been told he came from Omagh Ireland (don't have the
slightest idea how to prove or disprove that!)
* I have been told he was somehow related to Paul Cochran who came to
Blount cty before 1795 from NC.
* Where in NC was Paul from before he moved to Blount county?
* Who was Barney's first wife and Harvey's mother?
* Who are all these people listed with him on the 1850 censue (see
below)
* Is he the one that married within the last year? (there is a
marraige record in 1848 of a Barney marrying a Sarah Kerr - where
is Sarah on the 1850 census?)
* I have seen that he is listed on the 1860 McMinn county TN census
as being 104 years old
* and he is buried in the Cochran cemetary in Englewood TN. I just
saw this today so I haven't been able to verify.
1850 Blount cty TN page 8, #107
Barney Cochran 47 Mason Ireland *
**
N. Cochran 40 Tenn female
Eliza Cochran 30 Tenn
B. Cochran 28 Tenn male
Sally Cochran 20 Tenn
A. Cochran 18 Tenn male
R. Cochran 12 Tenn female
* this column in the census reads "Married within the year " and
there is a 1
in the column
** this column in the census reads "Attended school within the
year" and
there is a 2 in the column.
I saw an old posting on GenForum requesting info about Barnabus Cochran
from NC/TN who fought in the Revolutionary War. Is the Blount cty
Barnabus the same Barnabus that fought in the revolutionary war?
Any information about Barnabus would be greatly appreciated and I would
be happy to share descendant info. Harvey was my 4th great-grandfather.
Thanks
Ange
Looking for more information on Jennie Cochran(e?) of Ontario, Canada. She
was born May 1857 and married in about 1874 to Joseph Scollick. Both of
Jennie's parents were born in Canada. After her marriage she moved to NY
and then later to Washington, DC. Anybody with information or a clue to
this family please let me know.
Thanks a lot,
