    1. [COCHRAN] Re: Andrew Cochran
    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/IMJ.2ACEB/1070.1108.1109.1116 Message Board Post: The Andrew Cochran you mention is my great, great grand father. His son A. J. Cochran married Henrietta Lawrence, and they were the parents of my grandmother Mary Francis Cochran who married William James Matthews. After the death of A. J. Cochran, Henrietta married Benjamin Chronister. After his death, she went to live with my grandmother Mary Francis Cochran Matthews and because there were two grandmothers living in the same household, we called her "Old Grandma". I was the youngest of the eight great grand sons who carried "Old Grandma" to her grave beside that of A. J. Cochran in the Gum Log cemetery on the mountain north of Russellville, Arkansas. All those whose graves are in this cemetery are reasonably well marked and are related to the Cochrans or the William James Matthews family except the marker for R. S. Tabor who is thought to have been an employee of Willam Curtis Cochran, the son of A. J. and Henreitta. He died at the age of 24.m All we know of R. S. Ta! bor is what is inscribed on his marker.
