This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Bracey, Cochran-Cothran Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/2g.2ADE/877.2 Message Board Post: This is a long shot but: Rachel Bracey married my gggrandfather Thomas Cothran in Johnson County, IL. I cannot find her after this time. I found Thomas with a 19 year old Rachel in the 1850 census for Lawrence County Arkansas. I don't think this is Rachel. It does not say on her marriage certificate that she needed anyone to sign so I figure this Rachel may be Thomas's daughter. Neither Rachel's show up after 1850 and by 1860 Thomas is married to Penelope Huskey and is living in Howell County, Missouri just on boarder of AR.
