CORRECTION to my last posting: The date of the last codicil to George Cocokburn, jr's will was signed 08/21/1847 (not 1957) and it was probated by the November term of the Forsythe County, GA Court of the Ordinary. I have a certified copy of the will obtained from Forsythe Co.
The codicil contains the reference to his 1/2 brother, John Cockburn and leaves him a legacy. You can read the will here:

My maternal grandmother was a Cogburn; her mother's paternal grandmother was a Gage. I don't know that I've ever seen your Nancy Gage Cockburn before so find this interesting. Do you also know anything about your Gage line? Thanks!

Hello, DKC,
I descend from George Cockburn, the immigrant, through his son, Clark Terrell Cockburn, the brother or 1/2 brother of John Cockburn, husband of Nancy Gage Cockburn.
The biggest mystery to all interested Cockburn/Cogburns I know anything about is the name of your John Cockburn's mother. That lady was also possibly the mother of Clark Terrell Cockburn.
George Cockburn, Jr's 1957 will referred to your John Cockburn as his 1/2 brother, so we know that Elizabeth Schneider/Snyder was not your John's mother.
Will you please share any iota of information you may have, even if it is only family stories, about your John's mother?
Thank you.
PCW
