Both of my ggg-grandparents were Cochrans from Ireland and both were named Hugh Cochran. We think one came from County Down, but we have no proof. The other, we don't know. The one we know of was married to either a Margaret Vernon or a Margaret McDonald. We think Vernon. She died in Ireland before the family came to the USA. Both my families ended up in Westfield, New York in the mid 1800's, but four aunts and uncles came to America in the 1700's through Charleston, South Carolina. I can't remember all four names but I believe two were Rachael and Janet. Rachael married a McRoberts. They all lived, at least for a while, somewhere in the southern USA. Do you have any names and dates? Jim Cochrane
