Surnames: Cochran Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/IMJ.2ACEB/2305 Message Board Post: I have been unable to find any family history for Thomas J. Cochran prior to his Civil War record. His place of residence is listed as Fannin, Ga, although not found on any census records prior to 1861. Records do show that he was married to Elizabeth and had one son, Joseph who resided in Fannin, Ga after the war. Does this name or information sound familiar to anyone.
