Larry, You may or may not have this, but since this reference is the only one of Jacob Cochraham in my book, OUR NATIVE HEATH, I will share it with the list. Enjoy, Myrtle Bridges http://home.att.net/~hbridges/myrtle.htm 1779 The said Jacob Cochraham came into Court and being first sworn by the Holy Evangelists of God sayeth that before the decease of the said Alexander McPherson the deponent heard the said Alexander McPherson announce, declare and say that Daniel McPherson was his first cousin and the nearest of kin to him; and that as such, in case the said Daniel outlived him, the said Alexander McPherson, he the said Daniel should inherit all his estate, the said Daniel being then present and the said deponent saith that the said Daniel then lived with the said Alexander McPherson for the space of two years and ever was acknowledged by the deceased and deemed to be the deceased blood relation and first cousin. Ordered that the foregoing affidavit be registered in the Registers Office of this County. Richmond County Court Mins. 1786-1792 CR.082.301.2
