History of Marlboro County, South Carolina - J. A. W. Thomas. Marlboro
County, located in
the northeast corner of South Carolina, was established in 1785 in the
Pee Dee region of the state

Brightsville; Blenheim; the "Confederate War"; early ministers; Baptist,
Methodist and Presbyterian
churches; the town of McColl; Adamsville; educational matters; "The
Colored People"; 1886;

QRYTEXT: I have a typescript manuscript by someone who didn't do a good
job on her citations, but she does mention a book "History of the
Mitchells" by Lorean Dosh. She mentions it in connection with "the
Cochrans who came from Curenygagiz, Ireland, and the Mitchells who came
to Bucks County, PA, from Marsden Lanes, Lancasshire, England." My
library has searched for this book and not been able to find it. Does
anyone know anything about this book?.

I recently dug through the boxes of family "treasures" (yet again) and
finally read all of a small, leather-bound book that was hand-written by
Great-Aunt Sally in 1913. The text of the book is a poem by Robert Dinsmoor
called "The Story of Indian Jamie." The first few stanzas (and there were 50
octaves) concern the immigration of the Cochranes to NH. I knocked myself on
the head for not reading the book sooner (I've had it for over 10 years. I
have put the text of the poem at
http://www.gustafsonfam.com/jamie.html
The Cochranes of NH are in my "direct ancestry"; my branch moved to
Georgetown (Bath, Phippsburg, etc.). My gen site has this branch of
Cochranes.
http://www.genweb.net/~kendall
I did not put it on my genealogy site which contains data on the
Cochranes, although there is a link to it, as my genweb site now
has advertising galore at the end of the pages. I thought I'd put it up
"clean" -- thus, it's on our family site (which links to other sites)
for now. I'll be moving it later.

Anyone out there researching Cochran or Cochrane lines that settled in Marion,
Alabama in 1800s? Believed to be Irish, coming to this county through Charles
Town (Charleston), South Carolina, then through Georgia to Alabama.

I am trying to find relatives of Nettie Elizabeth Cochran McCain who lived
in Manton, Michigan. She had a sister-in-law named Irene and a sister we
called "Aunt Hattie." Any information would be appreciated.

How many of you have heard of the famous woman journalist Nellie Bly?
How many knew she was a Cochrane?
Here is a link to the story of Nellie Bly (aka Elizabeth Cochrane).
