My great grandmother, Annie Cochrane, was the illegitimate daughter of
Elizabeth Cochran of Edinburgh, a fact which seems to have amused her
respectable offspring. It seems likely that Elizabeth was b. 22 JUN 1827
Edinburgh. Father, COCHRANE, FRANCIS , Mother BROWN, SARAH.
The father's name isn't on Annie's marriage certificate, but I found an Ann
Farquharson Cochran, bapt.11 Aug 1848. Mother Elizabeth Cochran, father
Francis James, Old Machar, Aberdeen. The birth year is almost 5 years
earlier than Annie's marriage lines would suggest,. but hey! The Aberdeen
birth might be explained by a tactful withdrawal to a town of strangers (or
perhaps aunts, who knows?) for the actual birth.
Does anybody have knowledge of this sagalet or any part of it?
Best,
John Storm Roberts

I AM NOT RELATED TO THIS MAN: JUST WANTED TO POST FOR SOMEONE WHO MIGHT
FIND THE INFORMATION USEFUL;
CORNELIUS COCHERINE, 172 acres in what is now Berkeley County, VA., near
the mourth of Opequon Creek. The records of Orange County, VA., show that
Elisha PARKINS purchased this land from COCKERINE in 1737. Part of the
tract lay upon the Potomac River.
CORNELIUS COCKERINE, lived in Chester County, PA., before coming to Virginia,
owned property in Fallowfield and Sadsbury townships in that county, and
was taxed there, where some of the name still reside. In Virginia the name
is now spelled COCHRAN.
