Rechecked by Ruby Tatum & Sybil Head in 1987 who state it remains the same as at last reading Cochran, Henry - g-father of Willie) Cochran, Mrs. Henry - g-mother of Willie) Cochran, Infant son of Noah & Amanda Harrison Cochran) OLD MARRIAGE RECORDS OF HICKMAN COUNTY, TENNESSEE BOOK 1 Cockrum, Henry to ________Pickett. No other information. (from Leeper's "Marriages of Hickman County"). Now about the other thing, first off I had forgotten about that website, I have not had that account in some time and thought that it had been taken down. About the little dog, my husband and sons worked landscaping and were called mowdawgs and that was their little input to the website. I am interested in how we connect on the Overbey's and also have question if you can lay claim to a Cockran, Wm Cockrum/Cockran, married to Mary Spears (my gr-gr-grandmother), she is actually Mary Bryant Spears, daughter of Jeremiah Bryant and Sarah. I have them listed as married in1875, but by 1880 she is back taking care of her parents. I have been told that she was at one time divorced, I assumed from her first husband William Spears/Speers, they had 4 children, 3 of them died in early 1850's the fourth Cynthia Spears (my gr-grandmother) married to William Henry Overby/Overbey. I have no dates for Wm. Cochrum/Cockran, so if you come across this Wm. Cockran in your lines, would you mind helping out with some dates for him? Hope this helps.
