Hugh Cochran, Sr. is an ancestor of mine. I have done some research on his military service and family. To my knowledge, he was never buried near the square, although he is listed on a Confedrate memorial there. Hugh was captured at the Yazoo River during the Battle of Jackson (May 1863), and was shipped up the Mississippi via the steamer Crescent City. He had already been very sick but apparently got worse on the trip. He was admitted to a prison hospital in Moundville, Illinois, and died there in June of that year. He is buried in the Moundville National Cemetery. Are you a descendant? If so, what line is yours? I have additional information I am sure you would be interested in. ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss Searching also in mostly Marshall, Lincoln, and Giles Counties -BARTLETT -BECK -BRENTS -BURGESS -CLARK -CLIFT -COCHRAN -DUNCAN -EMERSON -GILLUM -HILLIARD -HOLLAND -JONES -ROGERS -WRIGHT ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss On Wed, 7 Jun 2000 04:00:31 -0700, [email protected] wrote: ______________________________ Date: Tue, 6 Jun 2000 17:06:24 -0500 From: Christopher Taylor <[email protected]> I'm going to tell a conversation I had today and ask you for your help filling in the details: A man told me his sister remembers seeing tombstones on the SE Corner of the Lewisburg square when she was 17 (57 years ago). One of the people buried there was said to be Hugh Cochran Sr, a Confederate soldier who died during the war. It has been said that the graves were destroyed or moved when the town square was downsized in the mid 1950's. Does anyone have information about this story that might prove truth or falsehood?
