    1. HIGH RISK OF DESTRUCTION BY DEVELOPMENT -- Native American and Revolutionary War sites, and environmental resources on The LaGrange (Barczewski) farm in Glasgow, DE
    2. Historic Glasgow Park
    3. HIGH RISK OF DESTRUCTION BY DEVELOPMENT -- Native American and Revolutionary War sites, and environmental resources on The LaGrange (Barczewski) farm in Glasgow, DE Stephen J. Nichols, a developer in Glasgow, DE, has signed a contract to purchase by November 10, 2005, with the intent to immediately develop, the entire Barczewski farm (also known as the La Grange or Dr. Samuel Henry Black farm). Mr. Nichols wants to place over 225 houses and a 26 acre commercial shopping center, on the property. He also intends to allow the Christina School District to have over 50 acres of the farm, including the historic manor house and granary, so that a public elementary school can be built. This property is crisscrossed by state and Federally recognized wetlands and over 1 mile of drainage, is in the Christiana watershed, contains part of the Glasgow recharge aquifer, and is bounded by over 3/4 mile of the Muddy Run Creek. The 136 acres of woods on the farm are in a US Department of Agriculture's local National Resources Conservation Service long-term tree management plan. The Barczewski farm's 236 acres contain two documented Native American Indian camps, earthen works from the British and Hessian occupation of Aikentown (Glasgow), remnants of the Benjamin Latrobe feeder canal from 1804, and several structures on the National Register of Historic Places (Dr. Samuel Henry Black). Dorcas Armitage Middleton Black was the wife of Samuel H. Black. General Lafayette named the farm "La Grange" while a visitor there in October 1824. The Federal US Censuses of 1810 and 1820 for DE/NCCo/Pencader Hundred, show that there were three FREE African-Americans (unnamed - husband, wife, and daughter) who were part of Dr. Samuel H. Black's household. The farm is located near the northwest corner of Routes U.S. 40 and Del. 896 in Glasgow (New Castle County, Pencader Hundred), and is comprised of a single tract of 236 acres. Approximately 100 acres are pastures, and approximately 136 acres are wooded. The Muddy Run creek and some of its tributaries run through and form the 3/4 of a mile of the northern boundary of the property. This property contains the historic home and farm of Glasgow's early physician, University of DE trustee, and state politician, Dr. Samuel Henry Black. The land, however, had been farmed for over 100 years before Dr. Black acquired it. The property has a carefully restored historic home and preserved granary, each dating to 1815, and more recent barns and outbuildings dating to the property's days in the 1940s through 1960s as the West End Dairy farm. Other family names associated over time with this farm include Middleton, Frazier, Leasure, Congo, Cooch, and Veach. Dr. Samuel H. Black built the property's granary. The building incorporates consolidated storage and processing functions and wheeled vehicle access. This building is the earliest documented example of a drive-through granary of the type that was to become popular throughout the Northeastern U.S. in the mid-19th century. In July 1974, the large manor Federal period home and the granary were incorporated into the National Park Service's National Register of Historic Places (NRHP #74000601). Areas of NRHP significance of this property include Health/Medicine, Architecture, Social History, and Agriculture. In 1985, the La Grange granary was incorporated into the highly selective Historic American Buildings Survey (HABS) / Historic American Engineering Record (HAER) conducted by the US Department of the Interior and maintained by the US Library of Congress (Survey # HABS DE-216). There are two archeologist documented Native American encampment sites on the La Grange farm (the Butterworth and the Barczewski sites). These sites date from 10,000 BC to 6,500 BC. Over 1,800 authentic Paleo-Indian and Early Archaic periods' arrow points, axe heads, and other stone implements have been found all over the farm's land. In the farm's woods there are authenticated, intact remains of British and Hessian earthen trenches from the September 3, 1777, Revolutionary War battle of Cooch's bridge. The trenches run parallel to the remnants of a historic and ancient, but now abandoned road, of which the last remaining vestiges exist on the LaGrange Farm. The earthworks are also parallel Rt. 40 West from Glasgow, DE, to Elkton, MD, and face Iron Hill. There is also documented evidence on the farm of Benjamin Latrobe's venture to build a feeder canal in 1804 (New Castle County Historical Marker NC-59). The feeder canal remnants are intact. The canal was to be built from the Elk Creek to the Christiana River, with the ultimate goal of the canal connecting the Delaware and Chesapeake waterways. The project failed, however, because the state of Delaware ran out of money before the canal was completed. The remnants of the feeder canal run from Rt. 40 West through the La Grange farm. On May 30, 1973, Anne Barczewski vowed that the 236 acres of her farm "will never fall into the hands of builders and developers." ("Threatened by Cloverleaf", The News Gazette, New Castle, DE.) In 1996, Anne Barczewski was honored with a prestigious historic preservation award from the New Castle County Historic Preservation Review Board. The Board placed a protective Historic Zoning overlay upon the entire 236 acres of the La Grange farm. In 1997, Anne Barczewski was recognized as Delaware's Tree Farmer of the Year. On June 27, 1997, Anne Barczewski told preservation advocates, "If it was my last word, my last breath, I'd say 'no' to a developer." If you would like to help protect this property from development and permanently preserve its historic, cultural, and natural resources for future generations, please contact The Friends of Historic Glasgow, ATTN: Nancy V. Willing, 5 Francis Circle, Newark, DE 19711. Telephone: (302) 366-1855.

Surnames: Cochran Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/IMJ.2ACEB/2257 Message Board Post: I recently picked up a picture in the Amana Colonies in Iowa. The picture was taken at The Bassell Studio at 512 Sixteenth Street in Denver, Colorado per outside cover. Inside there is a picture of a young lady and written Anna Cochran '08. The picture and cover are in good condition. Quick research, I believe she may be the Anna Cochran listed on the 1900 census in Dever. If so, she was born Oct 1888 in Nebraska. Parents would be Charles and Lulu. If this is your relative, I would be happy to send you the picture. There were many other pictures, but I only bought this one. I can give you the location of the store to contact. I believe there were some other Denver pics along with some from New York and possibly other locations. They were all resonably priced, so you may be able to get a deal for the box for a good price. This one had the best information to help locate her relatives.

    1. RE: Thomas 10th Earl of Dundonald and Katherine "Kitty" Barnes
    2. Cynthia Cochran Scheuer-Jones
    3. According to "The Fighting Cochranes" by Alexander Cochrane page 305 Thomas Cochrane was aged thirty-six when he first laid eyes on Katherine "Kitty" Barnes who was age 16 and an orphan daughter of a Midland family and the ward of her cousin, the High Sheriff of Kent. Katherine Banres and Thomas were first married 8 August 1812 in the Queensbury Arms Hotel in Dumfriesshire, Scotland. Witnesss to the marriage were Richard Carter, man-servant to Lord Cochrane and Anne Moxham, Kitty's lady's-maid. This one was a secret wedding. They were married a 2nd time 22 June, 1818 at Speldhurst Church, near Turnbridge Wells, England. This wedding was at the request of some of Katherine's relatives. At the request of Sir George Preston made a condition that they be married according to the rites of the Church of Scotland so he could bequeath to Lord Thomas, the old family estate of Culross, which his father, the 9th Earl had to part with. So again they were married 18 Oct 1825 in Edinburgh. Thomas before his death had a document prepared relating the story of the 3 times he and Katherine had to be married. Her full name is Katherine Frances Corbett Barnes. Father is Thomas Barnes and Frances Corbett. The parents names have not been proven, they are listed in various gedcoms at http://www.rootsweb.com Cynthia

    3. Hello, I am interested in the wife of Thomas Lord Cochrane, Earl of Dundonald. Apparently he ran away to Gretna Green to marry Kitty Barnes in 1812. I believe that Kitty Barnes was an orphan and that she was living with an Uncle John Simpson of Portland Place and Aunt. This is my family and I am trying to find out Kitty's parents so that I can find out her exact connection. Apparently there is an article in Hansards. She gave an interview, as a widow, before the House of Lords on 24 July 1862 , as Kitty , Countess of Dundonald. Can anyone help me please ??

    1. ? about Hezekiah Cochran b. 1803 SC
    2. Helen M. Wall
    3. A posting from June 3 mentioned Hezekiah Cochran b~1803 Greenville County SC. Does anyone have siblings of this man? I am tracking a very elusive John Cochran b. 1793 SC, d.>1850 census of St. Clair County AL. He married Betsy Cockrum Feb. 1830 in Hall County GA. Children were Sarah Emaline, George W., William R., Collins, Lucinda and John B. (all b. between 1833-1849). My line, from Collins as my great-grand, became Cockrum, then Cothren by the time they reached TX. Brothers George and William remained in the AL/TN area and became Cothern. Both girls ultimately landed in Pope County AR (Sarah spent some time in OK). Youngest child John appears to have remained Cochran. Need to place John Cochran b. 1793 with a birth family. Lots to share downward. Thanks! Helen Wall
