I don't have my notes handy, but I seem to recall that Mark Anthony Cooper was somewhat of a notable person in Putnam Co GA. Maybe that's why your Banister Cochran named his son after him? If I can find my notes I'll try to post more about Mark A. Cooper. Sorry, I don't have any more on the Cochran family. Wish I could help!
