I can't connect a Thomas Alexander Cochran to either Robert or James Cochran of Sullivan, or any of their known siblings in other states. Lucinda Shatto, d/o Zachariah & Marrillah (Clem) Shatto, was born about 1843, appears in the 1850 census, but not in the 1860 with her parents. I had thought she must have died before 1860. Had she married that young? Any idea where she lived after marrying? Robert Cochran was born in 1803, James his brother in 1816, sons of Alexander Cochran of Co. Derry, Ireland. I'm wondering if your Thomas Alexander could have been a nephew of Robert and James of Sullivan.
