Posted on: Columbia Co. Ga Query Forum Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ga/Columbia/10580 Surname: Day, Cochran, Weatherford ------------------------- My gr-gr grandfather, John Washington Day, came to Texas in 1835. He returned to GA ca 1837, where he had left his wife, Susan (last name unknown) and their two children, John Washington Day b. 1835 and Elizabeth Jane Day, b. 1836. The family returned to Texas in 1837. While in Texas, the family used the surname of "Cochran" rather than "Day". In 1841, their third child, my gr-grandfather, William Weatherford Day was born. His father had been killed a few months prior to his birth. In Columbia County, in 1837, a John Day witnessed the will of a John Cochran. None of the Cochran heirs appear to be Susan Day. However, I believe my Day family must be connected to the Day and Cochran families of Columbia County. I've also wondered if Susan could have been a Weatherford because of my gr-grandfather's name. Will appreciate any help.
