Still looking for siblings and/or birth place of:
Thomas B. COCHRAN, born May 9, 1804 in VA., died Mar. 26, 1876 in Blackford
Co. Wash twp, IN. He married Mary A. PINKNEY, PRICKLEY or PINCKNEY. Mary
was born August 6, 1805 in TN, and died Sept 08, 1865. Thomas and Mary are
buried in Schmidt Cemetery, Blackford County, Washington Township, IN., with
other family members. I had one undocumented source that stated Mary's last
name was WHITLOCK. However, her son's (Andrew's) Civil War pension papers
listed her name as either Pinkney, Prickley or Pinckney. Mary's last name
on Andrew's papers is not clear, so I took the three best guesses.
Recent information reveals Thomas may have married a 2nd time on Mar 03,
1866, by the Clerk, Blackford County, to Ruth Elaine BEALS. (BEALS is
spelled BEELS on her tombstone). Ruth was born, July 12, 1817, in Wheeler,
Steuben County, New York. Ruth was 1st married to Reuben F. STORMS, June
1837, in Wheeler, New York. She died, Apr 09, 1880 in Blackford County and
is buried in Center Cemetery (1 1/2 mi South of Roll, Indiana).
Thomas B. Cochran and Mary A. had the following children: Edmund P.
Cochran, Samuel W. Cochran, Andrew J. Cochran, Mary A. Cochran, John P.
Cochran, David Cochran, Caleb M. Cochran, Sarah E. Cochran and Rodrick Craig
Cochran.
