my gggrandfather was Caleb COCHRAN, 1900 census has his birth day in March of 1819 but i've figured it as late as 1831 (from various census). according to census he was born in OH, father OH, mother VA. died 1-16-1902 or 3 Clifton, Mason co, WV he was a civil war vet and i have printed out the pension form from ancestry.com. he was in Company G, 8th WV Infantry which became Company G, 7 WV Cavalry. he filed 7-9-1877 and widow filed j-29-190(looks like 2). he married Melinda Ann BUCKLE(Y) on 4-14-1853 in kanawha co VA. she born 1838 WV, father John BUCKLE(Y) b 1810 VA, married (1) Matilda WHITE 12-14-1834 in kanawha co, VA , she died before 1849 when he married (2) Elizabeth WOLF on 9-30-1849. Caleb's father was Valentine White COCHRAN b 1805 Pocahontas Co (or Bath) Co, VA, died 1874 kanawha co, VA. i've found two sources where he married Elizabeth. one has her as "unknown" and the other as "CURRY". born 1807 VA. i would appreciate any help with breaking the wall on these, thanks. karen in CA
