Elizabeth,
re: Cockburn/Cogburn I have gone through your very valuable name list, as
well as info you have gathered. Thank you for all your hard work!
At one time, before my first computer crashed, I had a website with
information regarding that wagon train from GA to Arkansas. They had listed
the Kendrick family as well, which was valuable to me as the James Cockburne
listed with CT and Russell is my gggreat grandfather. No one has seemed to
be able to trace him back from there: some say from TN, some from NC some
from GA. The censuses have him listed from TN and another from NC. Oh
well.....that roadblock has to wait! but Martha Kendrick married his son
George Washington Cogburn, my great grampa. Do you have any links to that
connection? any info on the train? I have notes on James
Cockburne/Cogburn's will, and some on his son James Lafayette, but not much
on Great Grampa GW other than that he was an itinerant preacher as well as a
farmer. He is NOT the GW Cogburn listed in the Territorial archives as
convicted of murder, that is Little George, who lived down around Little
Rock, and I know a little about that story.
I haven't done much since my husband died in 01, too busy finishing college
and working full time (he was a Nam vet, died way too young) so my time has
been limited. I appreciate being able to see all the names and the
histories. I wish I could do more now, but it's waiting until I get good
full-time permanent work, and my house in order and sold, sigh. Thank you
for all your hard work, and generosity in sharing it with us.
I guess this makes us kissin' cuzzins somehow! Regards,
Sharon Schipper

I'm not sure if anyone responded to you, therefore I will post what I have:
GEORGE COCKBURN, b. Abt. 1746, who married Elizabeth Snyder/Schneider and possible a second Elizabeth, reportedly had 12 children:
JAMES, JONIAH, JERUSIA BLACKWELL,
ARCHIBALD, RUSSELL, RACHEL,
GEORGE, JEREMIAH, SARAH,
JOHN, CLARK, MALISSA
As you see, Russell and Clark had a brother named John, however, their brother (or half-brother) died in Georgia:
JOHN COCKBURN, b. Abt. 1779, North Carolina; d. Abt. 1872, Murray County, Georgia; m. NANCY CAGE; b. Abt. 1820, Rutherford County, North Carolina; d. Abt. 1904, Cisco, Murray County, Georgia.
My records show that Russell and Clark moved to Arkansas with their wives, sisters Celia and Sarah Carroll, as well as their wives' parents, Dennis Carroll and Nancy Waggoner Carroll. I got most of this information from the following website, where you can find information on Clark and Russell Cogburn, the Carrolls and the Waggoners:

As far as I know, Clark Terrell had a son named John with his wife Sarah, before he died in 1856:
JOHN FRANKLIN COCKBURN, b. October 30, 1850, Mt. Ida, Montgomery County, Arkansas; m. JULIA HAZELWOOD.
Other than that, I know of no other John Cogburns that would have been in Arkansas at that time. Hope that helps,
Elizabeth Boody
