Betty, here are my Cochran's: My gr grandmother was Mallie Cochran 1/8 Cherokee She had two sisters Elizabeth (Lizzie) and Carrie, and possibly a third name Melia. Several 1/2 brothers and sisters: Joseph Lloyd, Zell, Edwin Levi, Ora May, Bessie Ella, that I know of so far. Their dad was Archibald Cochran His dad Avery Cochran His dad Moses Cochran

I have just been told by my 90 year old mother that her Cochrans (Hiram B.) were Cherokee. This may just be a family rumor as Hiram was born in 1848 in Arkansas but his father was born in Illinois but I would like to hear from anyone who had Native American Cochrans in their line.

Cochran - A Revolutionary War widow's pension file for Mary Dutcher, formerly the widow of Samuel Cochran, gives quite a bit of information. In a nutshell, Samuel was in the Green Mt. Boys Regiment. Samuel died 14 Jul 1797 in Cairo, Greene Co., NY. In 1841, his widow Mary Dutcher was a resident of Catskill and aged 79. She married Samuel Cochran 30 Apr 1781 in Dutchess Co., NY. Mary's brother was Job Milks. Mary (Milks) Cochran remarried to David Dutcher 20 Apr 1807 at Cairo, Greene Co., NY. David Dutcher d. 24 Jun 1818 at Cairo. It would appear that Samuel and Mary (Milks) Cochran had a daughter, Mary, who m. 1st to Ezra Prindle and 2nd to Hugh Conner. I can elaborate if need be.

That is, they may be two different women or they may be the same woman, my ancestor. Please take a minute to review the information and if possible assist me in identifying the sources for the data contained. THANK YOU! PLEASE DO POINT OUT ERRORS / PROVIDE ANY SOURCES / HELP TO MAKE CERTAIN I'M NOT PASSING ALONG MISINFORMATION. Feel free to share this letter with others. FIRST GENERATION: Joseph Ward was born between 1747 & 1750 in Moorefield, Hardy Co, Virginia; died September 1814 in Moorefield, Hardy Co, Virginia. He was married once, to a woman named Sarah. (Her husband Joseph Ward mentioned her in his Last Will and Testament.) They had two children, Abraham Ward & Richard Ward. SECOND GENERATION: Abraham Ward was born abt 1770, Moorefield, Hardy Co, Virginia (unless Anita Fiedler's 1999 notes were correct and he born in Norfolk, Virginia). Abraham was in the military (1812, Ohio). Before 1833 he had moved to Jackson Twp., Allen Co., Ohio. He died about 1837 in Allen Co., Ohio. Abraham Ward had two wives. He married a Christina Johnson and by her had two sons, Joseph Ward & John Ward. He probably also had some daughters by this first wife. With his second wife he had a son named William Franklin Ward, another named Ranzeweld Ward, and three daughters named Sarah, Ruth and Hannah. Abraham Ward married Christina Johnson and their sons were born in 1793 & 1795. In 1807 William Franklin Ward was born in Allen Co., Ohio. Ranzeweld was born 1809, Sarah in 1811, Ruth in 1813 and Hannah in 1817. (source) "WARD Cousins, The Fay Family Page" (Internet), Author Unknown: > A comparison of the census data for 1820 and 1830 makes it clear that there were more children in Abraham's household than previously reported. Combining the age categories and sexes of the entries produces a list of 12 offspring. I have filled in names and dates from what other material exists, and indicated the census grouping where there is no name. > > child 1: boy Joseph 1793 > child 2: boy John 1795 > child 3: girl 1797 [1795-1804] > child 4: girl 1799 [1795-1804] > child 5: girl 1801 [1795-1804] > -----------------------------------------second marriage: > child 6: boy William 1807/08 [1806-1810] > child 7: boy 1810 [1810-1820]--missing in 1830; died in infancy? > child 8: girl Sarah 1811 [1810-1815] > child 9: girl Ruth 1813 [1810-1815] > child 10: boy Ranzewed 1820/21 [1810-1820] > child 11: girl Hannah 1817 [1820-1825][clearly off a couple of years] > child 12: girl 1825-1830. Richard Ward was born between 1772 & 1779, probably in Moorefield, Hardy Co, Virginia. He married once, a woman named Elizabeth. THIRD GENERATION: Joseph Ward was born 1793 in Moorefield, Hardy Co., (West) Virginia. He died 1840 in Lima, Allen Co., Ohio. His wife was Catherine Harner, she was born 1797 in Champaign, OH. They had nine children together. John Ward was born 14 October 1795 in Moorefield, Hardy Co., (West) Virginia. He died 25 December 1842 in Lima, Allen Co., Ohio. In about 1820 he married a woman named Rosanna Harper. Ms. Harper was born about 1800 in Ohio and died 24 June 1873. Before 1856 they moved to Linn Co., Iowa. Then they traveled by ox drawn cart to California from Iowa in 1856. William Franklin Ward was born 29 September 1807 in Allen Co., Ohio. William married Nancy Cochran on 10 January 1830 in Pickaway Co., Ohio. They are on the 17 August 1850 census for Linn Co., Iowa. They are also on the 1856 census for Otter Creek Twp., Linn Co., Iowa. William and Nancy had eleven children, from 1830 to 1852. He died 09 April 1864 in LaFayette, Ottercreek Twp., Linn Co., Iowa. Nancy Cochran was born Bet. 05 February 1811 & 10 February 1812 in Pickaway Co., Ohio. She moved to Clarke Co., Washington, after 1856 and probably after the death of her husband. She died Abt. 07 September 1896 in Brush Prairie , Hackinson, Clarke Co., Washington. Hannah Ward was born about 1817 in Ohio and died in 1835. She reportedly married a George W. Cochrun in 1833 and had a son named John in January 1835. MY INTEREST IN THIS FAMILY: Nancy Ward nee Cochran was the daughter of George W. Cochran, Sr. and the sister of my ancestor George Cochran, Jr. Just as Nancy married a WARD, so did George Jr.. He married a Hannah Ward who may have been born between 1800 & 1815. Their marriage took place on 21 November 1833 in Pickaway County, Ohio. The marriage ceremony was performed by James Thompson JP. They had two children: John Cochran born 1835 & Mary Jane Cochran born 1837. George Jr. appears to have married three (3) times. The first time to in 1828 a Mary Glaze, with whom he had a daughter named Permelia Ann Cochran (born 24 May 1834). His second wife was (in 1833) Hannah Ward and the two children were John (born 11 January 1835) and Mary Jane (born 28 February 1837). His third wife was (in 1845) Susan Gunn and with her he had a son, Z. Taylor Cochran (born 11 July 1849). PLEASE NOTE the major discrepancies in dates ... he married his second wife, Hannah, just six (6) months before his daughter Permelia was born; did they divorce or is this a different George Cochran? Both Hannah Wards had sons named John born in January 1835, BUT *MY* Hannah also had a daughter in 1837 and the “supposed” daughter of Abraham reportedly died in 1835. In the “BIOGRAPHICAL RECORD of Z. TAYLOR COCHRAN.” it states: “Numbered among the substantial and enterprising citizens of Center Point is Z. Taylor Cochran, who is one of Linn county's native sons, his birth having occurred in Otter Creek township July 11, 1849. His father, George Cochran, was born in Virginia in 1807, and was a son of George Cochran, Sr., also a native of the Old Dominion and of German descent. The latter was a soldier of the war of 1812, and one of the pioneers of Pickaway county, Ohio. There his son, George Cochran, Jr., grew to manhood and married a Miss Ward, by whom he had two children: John, a resident of Center Point, Iowa ; and Mary Jane, wife of Ulysses Hendrickson, of Oronogo, Jasper county, Missouri. For his second wife he married Miss Susan Gunn, and our subject was the only child born of this union.” NOTE: no mention of Mary Glaze or her daughter. > Malcolm G. McGregor, The biographical record of Jasper County, Missouri, (Chicago: Lewis Pub. Co., 1901, 521 pgs.), "Mrs. Hendrickson was born in Pickaway County, Ohio, February 28, 1837, and was a daughter of George and Hannah (Ward) Cochran, both of whom were natives of Ohio. The latter died when her daughter Mary was but one year old, the only other member of the family being a brother, John Cochran, of Center Point, Iowa". NEW DATA HAS COME TO MY ATTENTION (Thanks to Ward Walker who has also corresponded with <WardDraw36). Following are some of the notes he kindly sent to me this February 2006: (1) The Hannah Ward who married George Cochran in 1833 is “supposedly Abraham’s daughter”, mentioned above as being born 1817. (2) in November 1834 Abraham Ward borrowed money ($243.50) from a Henry White. William Ward, William Kirkendall and George Cochran were named as sureties. (3) January 1835 Hannah & George Cochrun had a son named John. Later in 1835 Hannah died, having had only the one child. Does anyone have any material (with sources) about the Hannah Ward who is “supposedly Abraham’s daughter” .... so I can try to determine if she is *MY* Hannah. Can anyone cite ANY sources for this data, even another researcher? Any and all help would be appreciated. Take Care & Happy Hunting. Terri Rene DaVar-Howard Holland, Michigan -- Home of Tulip Time P.S. *MY* George Cochran had a wallet inscribed in pen: "George Cochran, his book, 1828, Springfield." This wallet belonged for a time to his descendant Lucille Haydon nee Cochran. She described the wallet (in 1998) as being the kind that folds (the upper third folded down, the lower third folded up) and it closed by means of a "tongue with flaps that fed into a double split." The inscription was written in ink, by pen. It had belonged to her grandpa Ulyses D. (Leo) Cochran & was sent to her after his death (it is now in the possession of her younger brother). CAN ANYONE tell me where Springfield would have been?
