Most of the Cochran's in our family were from the Pauls Valley area. I have not found many relatives, so I do not no if we are related to Goldie.

Hi, My name is "Gordon David Cochran". I would just like to make a correction to a mistake that my cousin "Sandra Whittaker" made. She said our grandfathers name was "David Webster Cochran" that is not true... His name was "David William Cochran"... YES, she was correct in saying our Great grandfather name was "Daniel Webster Cochran", and she was also correct in saying our Great, Great grandfather was "Montgomery Cochran".

I am also researching this family. My link is John and Amanda's son, Dennis. He was born Jan 12, 1887 in Salem, Missouri. I have not been able to find any sort of death certificate on John Franklin Cason. I am willing to share any information that I have, if you are willing to do the same. I have not attempted to do much research on the Cochran side yet.

I have no connection to this family. This appeared in the Apr. 17, 1894 issue of the Rockland (Maine) Gazette in a column entitled "Roundabout - He Sees Things of Interest and Talks About Them":
"Roundabout had a most entertaining conversation lately with E.H. Cochran of the firm of Cochran, Baker & Cross of this city. Mr. Cochran, who is one of our most highly esteemed business men, dropped into a reminiscent vein and, unbeknownst to him, Roundabout took copious notes.
Mr. Cochran was born in Monmouth, Maine, and his early recollections are largely concerning long days and hard work on the paternal farm. When he was but a lad, fourteen years of age, the family moved to this city, and it fell to the lot of the hero of this sketch to drive the family cow overland from Monmouth to Rockland. Accompanied by his dog he started from Monmouth at noon with the cow. They reached Gardiner at eight in the evening, where he passed the night at the home of a married sister. They were all very tired, and Mr. Cochran tells with a smile how he put the little dog on the cow's back to give the tired little fellow a rest.
They were two and a half days on the trip. The second night was spent in Jefferson. After he had paid for supper, lodging and breakfast for himself, cow and dog, his funds were exhausted, and he completed the trip into Rockland without food. He got so faint and weary that day that he called at a home on the edge of Warren and asked for a piece of bread, but was refused. He says he has passed that place a number of times since and that incident in his life always rises before him.
"In his younger days he worked in the limerock quarries and was for nearly a year cook for a crew of men on Bowbar Islands, near Steuben. His brother, afterwards Judge J.C. Cochran of the Rockland Municipal Court, was interested in cutting timber on the islands.
Judge Cochran was in the insurance business for a time, and when he died in 1854, the brother, E.H. Cochran, bought the business. It consisted of only one company, the Farmers & Mechanics Fire & Marine Insurance Co. of Gorham. It was a mutual company.
"This was just after Rockland's great fire; rates were very high and stock companies were very loth to venture here. But by careful attention to the interests of both the company and insured he succeeded in getting good companies. From this acorn sprang the oak of today, with 23 fine companies.
"The insurance business was not very profitable at first and Mr. Cochran was obliged to do additional business to get a living, so he took the agency of the Boston & Bangor Express Co. In 1859 he established the Rockland & Boston Express Co., doing business over the boats running between Rockland and the Hub. He engaged Arthur Lovejoy as messenger, paying him $30 a month. When the boats did not serve the stage to Bath was used. In those days, before the dates of clearing houses and other modern banking features, the company carried large sums of money to and from Boston. Mr. Cochran said:
'I wasn't worth a cent and if I had lost any of the money the banks couldn't have recovered. They knew it, so they must have had great confidence in me. At times I would go home from the express office with thousands of dollars about my person. What a nice opportunity I furnished for robbers! One night in particular I took home $18,000 in a big pile of bills. I put the bundle between the mattresses of the bed and slept on it all night, or rather tried to sleep on it.'
"When war broke out Mr. Cochran sold his express business to the Eastern Express Co., 'just at the time,' as he express it, (the pun is unintentional) 'when it was beginning to pay.'"
I did a little research on Mr. Cochran and found the following. He died May 23, 1897 in Rockland at the age of 81/4/23. He was born in Monmouth, Maine, the son of James (b. Windham, ME) and Jane (Moore) Cochran (Jane was born in Limerick, Maine. E.H. left a widow, Hannah (Ayer) Cochran (b. Freedom, ME). He is buried at the Seaview Cemetery in Rockland, on the same lot with his parents.
Hannah B. Ayer Cochran died Aug. 7, 1902 in Rockland, Maine. She was born Oct. 25, 1817 in Freedom, Maine, the daughter of Peter and Jane (Bartlett) Ayer, both born in Freedom. Hannah is also buried at the Jameson Cemetery in Rockland.
