I have been tracing my husband's grandmother Cochran and have tracked back to Cass County. I wanted to see if anyone recognized this family of Cochrans. I have followed them in Gordon County to the present day but I'm interested in going backwards with the family. I don't know anything about Myers' father James and not that much about Phebe Dickey except that she was the daughter of James Willis Dickey & Polly Douglas. I haven't explored her family yet so I would love to hear more about them. - ------------------------------- Here is the info I have: James Cochran, b. NC.> Myers Cochran b. abt. 1812 m. Phebe Dickey November 20, 1838 in Cass County>William Cochran, b. 1848 in Gordon Co. 1840 Myers Cochran is in Cass County Census. A James Cochran from Gwinnett Co. is shown in the Land Lottery Records as receiving Cherokee land in Cass Co. after Jan. 1, 1838. Is this Myers father? Marriage Records show Myers Cochran marrying Phebe Dickey in Cass County, November 20, 1838. Gordon County Deed Book A shows Myers Cochran "of Cass County" purchasing 160 acres in 1852 although he is shown in 1850 Census records as living in Gordon County.
