Hi all,
Just got back tonight from Texarkana TX/AR. Had an "impromptu" Cochran
reunion. Most were of my ggf, James Nicholas Cochran's (b. 1892) desc. His
parents, Francis Marion, and Mary Jane (Capps) were born in Weakley Co TN.
Did have some family of 2 different brothers to James Nicholas that were
also there.
FYI, think this is (finally!!) going to be an annual October event in the
Texarkana area. First and last one, was 3 years ago, same place.

IRISH RECORDS INDEX, 1500-1920
After the fire at the Dublin Record Office in 1922, the government appealed
for Irish residents to donate any copies of records they possessed. This
appeal yielded a large and widely varied collection of information that the
Family History Library in Salt Lake City microfilmed in the 1960s. This
database is an index to these records now in possession of the Library.
Each entry reveals the person's name, date of record, and residence in
Ireland. More importantly, the microfilm, box, and item numbers are
provided to aid the researcher in obtaining a copy of the original record.
These records include histories, pedigrees, parish registers, probates, and
orphan's court records. For those seeking Irish ancestors, this index can
be a tremendous aid.

COLE COUNTY, MISSOURI OBITUARIES, 1871-1899
Created in 1820 as one of the earliest divisions in the territory, Cole
County, Missouri is located in central Missouri where the Missouri and
Osage Rivers converge. This database is a collection of obituaries taken
from the "Daily Tribune," between 1871 and 1899. In addition to providing
the decedent's name and date of death, it reveals the person's age or date
of birth. This newspaper was published in the county seat of Jefferson
City, and as with many rural newspapers, includes the names of people who
lived in surrounding counties, making this a valuable source of information
regarding Missouri residents. It contains nearly 4,700 names. For those
seeking Missouri ancestors, this can be a helpful collection.

MIDWEST PIONEERS: WISCONSIN HISTORICAL SOCIETY, VOL. 30
As one of the most important historical societies in the Midwest, the
Wisconsin State Historical Society has preserved helpful documents from the
region since the nineteenth century. This database is a collection of
academic papers presented around the turn of the century. It provides
important information regarding the Native Americans of the area, railroad
expansion, and forts around Detroit and Green Bay. Additionally, it
provides facts and figures about the fur trading industry. For researchers
of Wisconsin ancestors, this database can illuminate historical aspects of
the area not commonly known.

___________________________________________________________________
Depend on it: you will get stuck. Ancestors, ancient clerks, and even
computer-assisted indexers of the 1990s have misled every one of us through
outright lies, oversight, fatigue, etc. Not only that, we have misled
ourselves, perhaps by failing to check the base information, or by jumping
to hasty conclusions.
Where the problem is a particularly thorny one, develop some sort of
process for diagrammatically and verbally presenting it, one that also
suggests a means to a solution. Be sure the problem is clearly defined and
segments of charts place it visually in context. Once you have identified
the quarry and the parameters (of date and area), it is time to review the
six questions itemized below about each one in turn. Keep these questions
handy, and you will always be able to plan a strategy. This approach does
not guarantee a solution at the end, but it does provide a common-sense
method that will insure that you have done all you can.
1. What time period does the record cover?
2. What geographical area does the record cover?
3. How is the record organized?
4. What information is needed to access the record?
5. What new information will the record supply?
6. Are there finding aids for the record, and where and how can the record
be consulted?
Tables 11-1 and 11-2 (at the end of this article) list roadblocks and
solutions. Every genealogical puzzle can be reduced to one or more of these
basic generic elements. Once that has been done, you can select possible
sources and test their usefulness by applying the questions above.
Problem solving will improve as knowledge and experience grow.
Nevertheless, in some instances, only tedious, plodding work offers any
hope of producing an answer. Be sure that you have tried all possible short
cuts, and that all the facts are gathered and weighed for accuracy. It is
sometimes necessary to hypothesize, to assume that one situation was the
case and follow through the research on that basis. If it is proven
incorrect, the gain is that something has been eliminated, and another
theory can be tested.
This is where the concept of reconstruction may come into play. Throughout
this book, I have drawn your attention to the importance of the historical
and geographical context of the research you are undertaking. Family
history is, to some degree, local history; it cannot be studied in
isolation from the wider world. If you confine your efforts to the
extraction of facts, the results will be deficient, and they may miss the
mark. Family history research must incorporate ingenuity and the skillful
posing of questions about people, places, and their socio-economic context.
Reconstruction of the lives of our ancestors, and of their surroundings, is
immensely interesting, satisfying, and potentially rewarding for further
research.
"A genealogy is only a skeleton, and the most interesting part of the
family historical work is to paint in the flesh and to catch the breath of
the spirit . . . much can be achieved, particularly in the study of
ancestors by proxy, as it were. Thus if one's forebear was a weaver living
in Glasgow, one can illuminate his existence through a general study of the
life of weavers or of Glasgow at that time, even though one has no direct
historical references to the ancestor concerned. In this sense, the family
historian is also a local historian, able to point to the buildings and
institutions in his or her town and to tell a story of the lives and
aspirations of those who build them, lived in them and worked in them."
(Moody, David. "Scottish Family History," London: B.T. Batsford, 1988.
Reprint. Baltimore: Genealogical Publishing Co., 1990.)
Meeting the challenge to formulate a research strategy that identifies the
necessary records and recognizes the potential of ancillary historical or
geographical material is one aspect of family history that keeps us
interested. Another aspect is the lucky break.
There are lots of wonderful stories about lucky breaks or inspired guesses
and almost spooky visions or impulses which have led researchers to
solutions. For everyone who believes that there is a logical explanation
for everything, a saying of the ancient Persians may have some appeal:
"Luck is infatuated with the efficient." This ties in rather neatly with
the idea that you are the instrument of your own fortune (or misfortune),
that you make your own luck. Put lots of entries in a surname index, browse
libraries every chance you get, talk to your family, follow up on any new
leads. People who do these things create their own lucky breaks.
You can post your problem for hundreds, thousands, or more people to see.
There are club query pages, surname directories, and the Internet. Personal
preference will determine how much you use these vehicles of exchange. Like
me, you may follow the "has it been done before?" routine, and then move on
to research, or you may chat by letter, fax, phone, or computer to others,
turning up tips and answers. If you choose the latter be sure to verify
anything for which you have not received a definite source reference.
There is, ultimately, the matter of proof, or the establishment of the
existence or nonexistence of a fact. When you receive information from
another person, critically examine its validity. Have you been given
sources, and can you verify some of the facts yourself? There is no doubt
that many errors are spread quite innocently and shared through a genuine
desire to be helpful; nonetheless, they are errors. Repetition will not
make them true. There is an excellent discussion of the subject of evidence
including at what point, in the absence of absolute proof, evidence can be
assumed to support a conclusion. The article is in the "National
Genealogical Society Quarterly," and is titled 'What is the Preponderance
of the Evidence?' (Rose, 1995)
I want to leave you with one final reminder. You can never know too much
about the records you may use in your search. The quest for knowledge of
what records exist should be ongoing. Do not confine your inquisitiveness
to only the standard genealogical records. Look beyond to what local,
economic, political, and social historians have used. Discover where
records are kept, where copies may be found, and in what format. Maintain a
file or database of possible sources for future use, especially when the
inevitabl
In researching my Daniel Cochran (Cockrum, Cockram, Cochrum, etc.) line, I
had found in the 1820 TN Census records for Hickman County, TN:
Daniel Cockram - 1 white male, 1 white female, 2 male children and 2 female
children
Dicy Cockram - 2 white females and 1 male child
Henry Cockram - 1 white male, 1 white female, 1 male child and 2 female child
I had never been able to establish a firm relation between Henry & Daniel
until today. Taken from "Historical Sketches of Hickman County, Tennesee"
written by Jill Garrett:
Pioneer Notes from the Hickman Pioneer (local newspaper) 17 July 1885:
"William Cockrum (Daniel's son) of Mill Creek, who was 65 in Feb. 1885, said
the first settlers on Mill Creek were George Hadsugg, who moved to Arkansas,
and Henry Cockrum, his uncle, who moved to Illinois, ....."
Henry Cockrum does not appear in the 1830 Census for Hickman County, TN. Not
sure when he moved his family to Illinois.
Maybe this will help someone in Illinois to tie their line back to Tennessee.
The census records from various years show Daniel to be born in Virginia in
one account and in Kentucky in another.

Actually, yesterday Rootsweb sent this notice with the RootsWeb Review, Vol. 2,
No. 41. Gedcoms are accepted and some are already online. I posted my gedcom
on my own web site in the past and only used 4megs of space. 100 megs is
incredible. The last link on this page will take you to a search page to find
the new pages.
The only problem I see is some of the advertising banners are slow to load.

NEWS AND NOTES AT ROOTSWEB
ROOTSWEB'S WORLDCONNECT PROJECT
by Robert R. Tillman, CEO <rrti(a)rootsweb.com>
We are proud to announce the BETA TEST of the RootsWeb
WorldConnect Project. Now you can upload, edit, delete and
download to others your GEDCOMs on RootsWeb. We have developed
GEDCOM software that is the most advanced on the Web to provide
you with unprecedented control over your posted GEDCOMs. Key
features include the ability to:
o Upload a GEDCOM file generated by any of the major genealogy
software applications WITHOUT first converting it to HTML.
o Edit or delete your GEDCOMs as well as change the display or
download options at any time.
o Link the GEDCOM to your own home page.
o Screen or remove information about living individuals from
the GEDCOM.
o Link Post-Em notes both from the GEDCOM originator and other
RootsWeb users by attaching to the record of a particular
individual. This capability is similar to the implementation of
Post-Ems in RootsWeb's Social Security Death Index.
o Link a GEDCOM to other GEDCOMs using Post-Ems.
o Allow RootsWeb users to download subsets (portions) of the
original GEDCOM starting with a specific person and choosing
either ancestors or descendants.
o Display GEDCOMs online in highly flexible ways. We think that
this display capability is where RootsWeb WorldConnect Project
really shines.
Unlike with certain other Web sites, you have full control over
your GEDCOM. You can change or remove it completely at any time
and RootsWeb will never burn it onto a CD-ROM or charge others
to access it.
Check out this new capability at
<http://worldconnect.genealogy.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igmuser.cgi>.
Search for individuals listed in uploaded GEDCOMs at
<http://worldconnect.genealogy.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi>.
FYI....Re: the new and free webspace at Rootsweb. At this point it is not
recomended for Gedcoms, so please don't abuse. But you are garaunteed at
least 100 mb of storage....if you need more it is available on request.
Quoting from their FAQ and info page:
"This offer is particularly aimed at encouraging our users to post
genealogical information that, owing to its storage and bandwidth
requirements, has been prohibitively expensive to bring on line. Examples
include large collections of photographs and scanned documents. We are sure
that you will come up with many uses which we have not considered. (We
encourage you not to place GEDCOMs in this Web space, as soon we will
announce a better GEDCOM posting and editing solution.) "
<SNIP>
There are only a few rules that apply to free space at RootsWeb:
Upload no copyrighted material, except with permission.
Upload no commercial material. If you are interested in locating a
commercial Web site on RootsWeb, please contact us at rrti(a)rootsweb.com and
we will discuss other arrangements.
Commercial advertising banners will appear at the top and at the bottom of
each Web page. These banners will require no programming by webmasters.
Simply upload your Web site to RootsWeb and the banners will appear
automatically. Unlike free Web space provided by other major Web space
providers, there will be no annoying interstitial "popup" advertisements on
your Web site.
Please notify RootsWeb of any changes in account ownership, email address,
or project affiliation.
Free Web space may be used for publicly accessible material but not for
online backup.
Webmasters intending to use more than 100 megabytes of space need to
indicate the amount of space that they require so that we can properly
configure their accounts.
RootsWeb reserves the right to close any account that is not in compliance
with this agreement or that is in violation of state and federal laws
governing internet usage.

You can upload your family file to RootsWeb for free! And, boy, is it great!
I just uploaded and it only took a few minutes. You have the option to
include "more about" notes or not, you can include your sources or not, you
can "clean" the info on your living folks---many options available.
First, you need to set up an account, so you can upload your file, and
later, to edit it (which I just did, also). Then, send it up! So easy and
so fast. It took HOURS to send it to the Family Tree Maker site. Just
minutes at RootsWeb, and it's much more complete. Also, you can add
"post-ems" to anyone's data, and you can be notified when someone adds a
post-em to yours, so that you can connect.
This is brand new, just got started yesterday, I think. There may be a few
bugs yet, but there's a message board where the fellow taking care of the
GEDs is posting responses to the suggestions. And he is fast.
Here's the URL:
http://worldconnect.genealogy.rootsweb.com/
~~~~~~~~~
Even if you don't upload your info, it is a nice search site. As more
gedcoms are submitted, there will be more data to search."

Sorry for the duplicate, don't know why it sent twice. Anyway, the last
volume
( Series 4 Volume 4* Government Printing Office, 1901, 1304 pages )
Is an alphabetical index. Roman numeral that follows surname, is to the
Series, the Arabic number, is the Volume. I don't know about all of them,
but the last volume to Series I, Vol 36 has an index, selective to that
Volume. In other words, I guess you got to search for which Series a name
is located, then try to search last Volume of that Series, for a named
index.

Found this information in a book called, "Frederick County, Maryland
Backgrounds" pgs. 23-24 by Steve Gilland;
Since it is a book and probably has some copyright law attached, I will only
paraphase the item that was listed.
If this family belongs to you please contact me and I can make a copy of this
and send it to you, or whatever you would like. Just let me know. I just hope
that it might be a help to someone. Theresa
********************************************
William Cochran, 1699 -1785 the emigrant ancestor of the Cochran familly
settled in what is Delaware county, Pennsylvania, but in 1732 bought a tract
of land in the "Manor of Carrollsburgh" ("Carroll's Delight") from Daniel
Carroll of Dudington.
After the 100 year border dispute was settled on the Mason -Dixon line the
Cochran tract was in Liberty twp. of Adams Co, Pennsylvania.
William Cochran married Sarah Cochran, 1702-1785. Both buried at Tom's Creek
Presbyterian Cemetery near Emmitsburg.
They were the parents of the following:
Andrew Cochran
William Cochran, m. Rebecca Morrow (Maybe the son of James)
James Cochran, 1732-1801, m. Jane Cochran, 1742-1815. This branch of the
family remained at Carrollsburgh;
John Cochran settled on the site of present Wanyesboro, Pennsylvania;
James Cochran (son of William and Sarah Cochran)
He lived on the family plantation in Liberty Twp. and was known as "James of
Carrolburgh". He married Jane Cochran, 1742-1815.
Children:
William Cochran, b. 1775, m. 26 Jun 1805 Rebecca Morrow1799-1838, d/o John
Morrow. They moved to Miami Co. Ohio;
Malinda Cochran
James Cochran
John Cochran, (son of William and Sarah Cochran) married Eleanor Baird.
Eleanor died 28 Feb 1791, aged 74 years, and was buried at the Cochran Family
burial ground at Wanyeboro, PA.
Their children:
John Cochran
Jean Cochran, m. James Clark
Mary Cochran, m. Joseph Findley
I am inquiring about the John Cochrane family. Their daughter's death
certificate states they were born in Ohio. I feel pretty sure they were
around the Ross County area, until the mid 1850s.
Their daughter was born in Illinois in 1862. The following is a listing of
names and dates.
John S. Cochran born 1818 in Ohio. Died Aug 18,1899 in Davis County, Iowa.
Adaline Southworth born in Ohio. Died Aug 21,1899 in Davis County, Iowa.
They are buried in the Drakesville and Lester Cemetery in Davis County,
Iowa.
Buried there, also, are William W. Cochran (born 1849 and died Aug 18,1917 )
and his wife Sarah E. ( born 1849 and died Dec 29, 1908.)
John and Adaline are the parents of Delphia Alice Cochran. Delphia was born
Feb 2,1862 in McQuon, Ill. which is in Knox County. She married John
Holloway (born in Ross County, Ohio in 1855.)
John and Delphia moved through Iowa and Kansas and settled in Seward Co. Ne,
where they are buried.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

If anyone has any information on the parents of this Samuel
Johnson Cochran, (orn in Chester, pa. around 1850-1880) I
would really appreciate it. I can't seem to find his parents
and don't even know about siblings. Any help would be so
wonderful. I'm also trying to find any link with this
Cochran line and Cherokees, (perhaps?) My grandfather had
extremely high cheek bones, tawny skin tone and looked
indian? Any help would be so very wonderful. Thank you,
