Barb, Posted online at rootsweb.worldconnect.com and (since Ancestry, Inc. and its parent company MyFamily.com bought out rootsweb) on Ancestry's site is my dbase which includes information on both Francis and George. (see below) Elijah was one of 8 Cockburn children born to Francis Coburn/Cockburn and Lydia HEADLEY, I descend from the eldest child, Lydia who married Patriot James Ross in Anson Co., NC. Nearest I can tell, Francis was born in Tyrell Co., NC and died in Anson Co., NC. I have some on the descendants of two or three of their children, my ancestor and two others. I saw records on Elijah Cockburn in Lauderdale Co., AL, but never pursued him. I guess I was waiting for you! My link into Lauderdale is the Springer family. George Cockburn is as far back as I have as well, he being the 'brickwall' ancestor. George was b. ca. 1710 and died in 1779 in Martin Co., NC. Martin Co., is a burned county as I recall.

What do you have on Elijah?
