Gail, yes this is a line I follow. Moses son of old John came to Surry CO NC by 1771, some say his nephew David, son of his deceased brother John JR came with him. I have the 1771, 1772 tax list of Surry CO. Moses Cockerham is the first there. I believe some of this Cockerham line moved to Rutherford CO NC, GA and LA. Wilkes CO NC was created from part of Surry abt 1778, in the next 10 to 12 years part of Wilkes went back to Surry and vice versa. Also, be aware there was a fairly large Cockerham line in Henry, Franklin CO VA. Names included, Abner, Nathaniel, Edward, Cheadle Cockerham. Henry Co VA bordered at one time 1777-1791 on the NC line with Surry CO NC, although this Cockerham line seems to be in present Franklin CO VA and Patrick CO VA. Teresa Teresa, Cheadle Cockerham connects into Moses! Cheadle Cockerham and Daniel #1 were brothers'. We have proven that via old VA Ct. Order Books (Online). Then when Daniel #1 married he named a son Cheadle only it was spelled a bit different by that time as Chesley. This Chesley grew up and married Margaret (Peggy) Martin. Peggy B. Chapman named the article that her and Frank wrote and published after *****This man***** This man also named a son Daniel b. Bet. 1782 - 1884 as best we could come to a date for this one. Then this Daniel is the one who married Elizabeth Roberts!! They married as best we could guess about 1820 and did have the following children: Allen C. Cockerham Cothran (the C could therefore stand for Cheadle or Chesley either one after his Grandfathers') Richard Cockerham Cothran Lydia Cockerham Cothran *****NOTE Disregaurd the use of COCKERHAM and aslo that of COTHRAN these were used in order to make the program perform correctly and do what we needed it to do************** They do belong with this family but I will not even guess as to the correct spelling that they were at this time using. I grew up using Cothran myself as did my Father and his Father before him. And my GreatGrandfather is buried underneath a tombstone that reads the same way! Teresa, I do believe this is the same folks that you were looking for. My Grandmother Cothran told me that there were some Roberts in our family she just never explained if it were the Cothran's or the Entriken's that she was talking about.

Gail, you mention ROBERTS: Nov. 30, 1829, Buncombe Co., Jacob Stuart to Swain Cockerham, $200.00 for 100 acres (including the Thomas Rogers family plantation) on Avery Creek. Witnesses: A. B. Carland and Wm. Roberts. Recorded and proven by subscribing of A. B. Carland. There were PLENTY of Roberts in Surry CO NC and Buncombe CO NC. On this deed, A. B. Carland is the son of John Carlin found on the 1800 and 1810 Greenville CO SC census.
