Surnames: HANSBROUGH Harris COCHRAN White BRADY Kempe Smith Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/IMJ.2ACEB/1747 Message Board Post: Our tree gets stuck at John Walter COCHRAN, supposed to have been born in Springfield, Sangamon Co., Ill. into a family of 12 children, the result of two marriages... have only one brother name, Wendell COCHRAN... John ended up in Fayetteville, Washington Co., AR by 1861; he and his wife Rebecca or Rachel WHITE Cochran beget three children there: Hiram Walter COCHRAN b. 6/22/1861; Albert COCHRAN b. about 1864; and (my connection) Sarah Eldora "Dora" COCHRAN, b. 9/08/1866. The family moved to Austin, Travis Co., TX, sometime before 1874, which is when the parents are supposed to have died there, leaving behind three orphans... On a 1880 census for the household (HANSBROUGH) that took Dora in, she listed her birthplace, and that of her parents, as MO. Don't know why the discrepancy, but she was 14 at that point... Any and all information/suggestions will be greatly appreciated!!
