Is this the right family? In 1880, Thomas and Sarah Cochrane were in Adair County, Iowa, with four children. Thomas was 49 and gave his place of birth and that of both parents as Scotland. Sarah was born in Ohio. Their oldest child, living with them, was William who was 24 and the County Surveyor. He had been born in Illinois. The younger children living with them were, Frances (21), Harry (11), and George (7) were born in Iowa. Twenty years later, in 1900, Thomas and Sarah Cochrane are living alone still in Adair County, Iowa. They are 69 and 64 years old. They say they have been married for 56 years (that would be 1844) and that Sarah has had 8 childen, 6 of whom are still living. Since they had 4 children with them in 1880 and none in 1900, it's likely that there were two older children and J. E. Cochrane may have been one of them. He was probably born in Illinois. I found them in 1860 in Delaware County, Iowa, Delhi Tnp. with children William and Frances, b. Illinois & Iowa. No sign of "J. E." though. Maybe he was born after 1880 and married and had left home before 1900? Possible. Anybody else have any luck with this? If Sarah had 8 children and 6 were living in 1900, there are 2 missing.

This Adams Co. IA site has an interesting free database. http://incolor.inetnebr.com/rgcox/adams.htm They have a lot of links but the one I saw that was really unusual is under the heading, Adams County Database: "Free Press Newspaper Archive now on-line" It takes you to a free site for just Adams county newspapers that are searchable. Very worthwhile taking a lot of time searching this. I did find many references to a Mrs. Colhane visiting her children here and there in later 1902 and 1903. There were many mentions of her son T.E. Colhane in Corning and also her son Harry Colhane who had moved to Kansas.

Jean, et al, Thomas E. is with the family in 1870 Hazel Green twp, Delaware co. Family indexed as COCHRAN. Thomas E. is indicated as born 1863 NY. as he is on the 1900 I previously referred to. Think the family left Ia. & returned briefly to NY before to returning to the Hawkeye state. He's not with them in 1880 but I wasn't looking for him in 1880.
