Dear Gail,
Please forgive me in being so tardy in answering your email. You
are right, there were many John Cochrans! That this point, I am not able
to connect yours with mine. Currently, I am pondering how many distinct
Cochran families were in Georgia at the turn of the 18th century. In any
event, I came across an FTP site that may well be of help to
you: ftp://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/ga/carroll/
I found this by pure accident/luck/providence. You can delete ga/carroll
and go to other states or other GA counties. Good luck! Doc Cochran

Thanks to those of you who told me about Cockerham England. I really got a
sense of "HOME". My family because of the Cochran spelling, have always
thought that we were Irish, until just a few months ago. I mean Irish the
bone, I have cousins with Shamrocks tatooed to their bodies and they are not
excepting this English business. I would like to take advantage of the
wealth of knowledge from this "List" so after the Thanksgiving Holiday
expect some big questions from me. Thank you so much and Happy
Thanksgiving.

I have been to Cockerham England and it is a beautiful little crossroads
south of Lancaster. There is a Post office , church, vicarage, pub, and
a few houses. There are not, however, any Cockerhams living there now.
IT is truly a lovely area and the people were not at all surprised that
my name was Cockerham.
Tammy, click on the URL Bill provided. When it comes up, click on International links at very bottom of page. When that comes up click on United Kingdom. You will see the search area on the left. Type "Cockerham" in the city search block. Click search and Cockerham should show up on the map. I believe it is in Lancashire near the city of Lancaster.

I have been unable to find Cockerham England. I can easily find
Cockermouth, the point that River Cocker and Derment meet, but that must be
farther north almost in Scotland than Cockerham. Cockermouth has a
wonderful website (Wordsworth is from there). Can anyone help me find
Cockerham? .

I am interested to know if perhaps you know of a woman known to me as Aunt

I am looking for proof that Jacob Cockerham born c1730, Brunswick county, VA
and wife Mary, were the parents of Abraham Cochran born 1757, Brunswick
county Virginia, married c1777 to Tamar Bruton, Montgomery county North
Carolina, died 8 Oct 1818, buried Troy, Montgomery county North Carolina.
Abraham and Tamar were the parents of David, born 1779, Mary Sarah born
c1775, Elizabeth born 1800 and Polly born c1778. All assistance
appreciated.

I read this website with much interest, good researchers
here. My ancestor is Abner Cockerham.
I descend from his daughter Sarah Cockerham b: abt 1726
Henrico Co., VA. She married John Law Sr (1722-1799)
14 Nov 1748 in Virginia. I have much on this Law family,
but little on the Cockerham's. Any help will be appreciated.

I am checking to make sure that I am aware of all descedants from William Levi Cockerham. With Jennie Baines, their children were John Coleman, Ellis William, Arthur, and Frank Thomas. With Lizzie Sutton: Jess Willard and Grace. Any others out there?
Tammy Lynn Collard
Harold,
That is very interesting. In those times, families tended to
honor each preceding generation by naming new members after the succeeding
generation. For instance my fore bearer Jacob Cochran had two sons, Jacob
II and Abraham. Jacob II named one of his sons 'Abraham' and Abraham
named his 'Jacob'. It was traditional in some families, to name the first
son of each family, William. This is noted by Ida Cochran Haughton in her
book, Chronicles of the Cochrans. This pattern also occurred with the
ladies. Doc

I am a Cockerham by birth and my line came from Surry County. I have been
doing some research on them as well. I don't have the Heritage Book , but I
do have the marriage book and Soldiers of the Cival war from Surry county.
My Grandfather was Francis Nixon Cockerham.

Tammy, you sure brought the Cockerhams out of the woodwork. This is good so
we can share info. As the Pres. of the Cockerham Family Association I would
like to invite all of you to our reunion in Williamsburg, VA on the 10th of
July, 2004. We started out as the John Cockerham, Jr. line but now have some
of the William Winn Cockerham line as members. We have several of the North
Carolina Cockerhams that keep in touch with us. We would like to get
together with as many members of all the Cockerham lines as we can to compare
notes on the early movement of the Cockerhams in America. I have traced the
Cockerhams from the early 1500s in England to Surry Co., VA & from Surry Co.
If you want to get on our mailing list, send me your name, snail mail address
& e-mail address. I will see that you get the latest info on the 2004
Cockerham reunion in Williamsburg.

Many Cockerham names in Lunenburg and Mecklenburg Counties from1745 to 1795
can be found in respective deed books. . The second data gap start in the
late 1790s and the length of the gap is probably due to the relocation of
the Cockerhams. From Lunenburg and Mecklenburg is looks like the Cockerhams
went west to Kentucky, south to Surry and Mecklenburg Counties in NC, and
into South Carolina and then Georgia. My gap stops in 1807 when Benjamin and
Matthew Cockram arrive in Morgan Co. Ga. in ca 1807. In the copy of Matthew
Cockram's Revolutionary War record it was stated "soldier was born in Va,
resided in Kentucky, South Carolina and Morgan Co., Ga."

of Benjamin, but not proven, Mathew witnessed the will of Benjamin.>
There is a Matthew Cockerham, listed as a minor , in the will of his
father,
Philip Cockerham, d. 1776.
