    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: King, Eaton, Newton? Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/IMJ.2ACEB/1804 Message Board Post: My Great Grandfather (deceased in the 1980's) and My grandfather (born around 1919?, living) both Robert Leslie Cochran. Looking for ancestors. Some surnames are King, Eaton. Some First names may be Minnie, Isaac, Elizabeth. I beleive that Isaac owned a Gambling Boat that traveled along the rivers around Pittsburgh, Pa, and he owned thousands of acres of land in Pittsburgh, then lost almost all of it in 1 game of cards, but kept about 50 acres, which my grandfather grew up on, then it was sold to become what now is the Pittsburgh National Airport. I don't have a lot of information, but my grandfather Robert L. Cochran, was in WWII, as a person who repaired the machanical things on navy fleets, and received the highest rank you can get, as a 'regular entrant' in the war (not an officer who goes to school). If you know anything about any of these people or names, please email me at [email protected] Thanks! Lisa
