Hi all. Just received my pkg of Martin MCVOY ,Sr's (Of PENSACOLA &
MOBILE>MD)
Civil War Pension Records. What interesting and wonderful info. Here is
the NEW info that has come to light:
1. Now have marriage date, location, and preacher for Eliza and Martin:
They were married May 1, 1879 by Rev.Joseph P. Wilson, of the Methodist
Church at some place which 'looks' like Helvers? in CALVERT CO MD.
2. JOSEPHINE V. MCVOY (who married Eddie Bafford) was born JULY 22,1880
(*my son Alex is also JULY 22nd!). The 'V' is for VIRGINIA which is a
popular
name in the PENSACOLA and MOBILE line of MCVOY'S.
3. NEITHER Martin MCVOY nor Eliza COCHRANE had been ever previously
married
and this was truly a wonderful love story! Martin answered questions
about Eliza on his
depositions for pensions which brought tears to my eyes. He said how
they were happily
married and enjoying their old age together. And then there was this
question about if they ever separated and Martin replied NO NEVER and it
was most unlikely to ever occurr until the good Lord separated them!
(sweet)
4. IMPORTANT-Another child of theirs is named and birthdate given, so
please add
to your records. They had another son, named WILLIAM MURREL MCVOY (also
the name of
Martin's younger brother in FL and I 'think' his grandpa and dad.)
Martin had it spelled with one "l"
but may have been 2? WILLIAM MURREL MCVOY (of MARTIN) was born
May 9,1887 and died sometime before this deposition for pensions #3-389
on March 25, 1915. These questions are answered in Martin's own
handwriting. He was most literate and very well read from the manner in
which he writes on all
his papers and legal things. He was an apprentice machinist, probably in
BALT.MD when
the Civil War broke out.
6. Eliza COCHRANE (as spelled on the question of how she was listed in
their marriage records. All other mentions of her are as COCHRAN without
the 'e'.) No mentions in Martin's own writing as COCKRAN.
7. ELIZA JANE COCHRANE was possibly illiterate as she signs her
depositions with an "x" so this would tend to verify that her parents
were also illiterate as mentioned in the census records we already have.
8. The birth and death dates of ELIZA do not agree with her gravestone
and neither do
MARTIN'S! Martin was born May 14,1841(Not 1845) in PENSACOLA FL.
Eliza
COCHRANE was born OCT 9,1861 according to the legal depositions for
widow's pensions, form 3-015. She died Sept 18, 1830 (not 1831.) Her
pensioner number for Martin was 951,416. The last rank I see on this
form is as a full SGT.He had been a POW for some time in VA as well.

I think it would be great if the ones that can make it, have a get
together and represent the Clan Cochrane. I for one plan to be there
even
if
no one else shows.
