We've never found the link but suspected it for awhile. My cousin Georgia
who is descended from WIlliam's and Jane's daughter Barbara Ann (m. Wm
Chandler) is descended from Enoch Cochran's family onanother branch(Goodne
or Gullion - I can't recall). Her G-Grandfather was Elmer Owen Chandler. I
am descended from his sister, Maoma Chandler Shehane.
With scattered children that can be tough. I have that same info from Mamie
Carver. Georgia and I have been able to look over it together as I only
live an hour away from Ohio-Switz Cnty.

Subject: [INOHIO] Willaim Cochran and Jane Starkey
Date: Fri, 17 Mar 2006 11:42:25 -0800
In looking through my files I found the following:
William Cochran was the ninth child in a family of ten children born to
William and Ann (Wade) Cochran on November 15, 1825 in the state of
Pennsylvania.
When he was four years old, both his parents died within a week of one
another of Yellow Fever, leaving the ten children to be scattered here and
there.
William was taken by his Aunt Sarah Wade, she dying in his ninth year then
he was sent to Ohio County, Indiana to live with his uncle and Aunt Sara
Wade, where he had a good home and education as was customary in those
days.
They gave over the management of their farm to him in his twenty-first
year. In four years he had accumulated $1,000. In his twenty-fifth year
he married Jane E. Starkey on March 17, 1850. His uncle and aunt moving to
another place leaving him to run the farm. To his union seven children
were born, two dying in infancy. (written in 1930 by Mamie Carver).
Questions: Is William Cochran who married Jane Starkey related to my gr gr
grandfather, Enoch Cochran? Both have grandsons or gr grandsons named
Dilver. Being an unusual name it leads me to believe they may be related.
I also found out Ann Wade had a brother, James Wade. Is he the
uncle that the children were sent to? Were there any Guardianship papers
filed in Ohio Co., IN.
I have also seen William who married Ann Wade's name as Thomas who died 25
Aug 1830 Tyrone Twp., Fayette Co., PA. I have also seen a marriage date
of 1811 for William Cochran and Ann Wade, and first child born in 1813.
Any help would be appreciated.
