Montgomery, AL. She married John Thomas BOZEMAN 1886 in
http://www.usgenealogy.net/members///ALABAMA///AuntEthel.html,
son of Peter Edward BOZEMAN and Nancy Jane
ANDERSON. He was born 30 JAN 1865 in farmed 40
acres of cotton, lived in 3 room log cabin, born
in Ramer, Alabama, but lived in Troy after Alice
died and lived with his mom a while .....sold
cotton in Troy, easier than going to Montgome, and
died 27 SEP 1918 in Hills Chapel Cemetery,
Montgomery, AL. |

ABT
1879. | |
cousin James Duncan has a picture
of Aunt Jennie with his mother Lillie McClain.
Our
families were together in Pennsylvania and again in
Ohio. Several intermarried and we find them on census
records.
Perhaps they came from Ireland together
and that may be how they all settled into Pennsylvania
beginning their journey in the free world. History shows
that many Irish fled to Scotland, and called themselves
Scotch-Irish when they arrived in America.
Their
descendents went west into many new territories. Some
are buried in Quaker City - nice thought to ponder.
Perhaps they were the Quakers we read about who got
along so well with the Indians in the
1700s.
There was much Indian unrest back then and
several tribes moved into Ohio and Kentucky; many
intermarried with the whites and continued
westward.
Below
you will find a 1790 record on STURGEON and if you look
closely you will see an Alexander Douglass....now that
confuses this author...

- 1810
HUGH COCHRAN WITH 16 FAMILY MEMBERS (160 KB)
LOCATED IN MOYAMENSING,
PHILADELPHIA, PA some think that Hugh Cochran was the
father of Alexander and William. In 1790 I found a
Hugh in South Carolina but he is still there in 1810.
They surely did have large families.
- 1860
Ohio -Elizabeth Henderson, wife of John (534 KB)
lives near Mariah Cochran
and Elzira - this must be Elizabeth Cook who married
John Jr.
- 1810
Alexander Cochran in Gettysburg Township (162 KB)
located in Adams County, PA
with 14 family members and searching the census pages
near him I find NO familiar names other than a Thomas
Cochran with 13 family members. Names of wife and
children were not added to these census records so one
can only speculate unless they locate a will in the
state's will book for more evidence of this man's
legacy.
- 1860
Ohio - Mariah and Elzira Cochran (526 KB)
next to Alexander Cochran
and near many Henderson families - Jacob Benjamin
Cochran is in California working as a Miner, likely
searching for Gold with his brother John.
- 1820
JACOB COCHRAN (547 KB)
Found in Pittsburg,
Allegheny County PA this couple has only one child. So
this obviously young Jacob could be the son of our
Alexander.
- 1860
Ohio - Robert Henderson (511 KB)
another Henderson family in
Ohio - he is near Thomas and Elizabeth and Elzira
- 1790
Sturgeon in Dauphin PA (229 KB)
Peter and Thomas are found
here. Thomas may be the father of Sarah Sturgeon who
married John Clendenning. I tried to trace the parents
of Thomas and his mother Sarah Ferguson and believe
that her father was a Thomas Ferguson found in the
area. Alexander Douglass is on this page too!
- 1790
Alexander Cochran in Mifflin PA (147 KB)
this shows he has 11
children in 1790 ?? This census record only shows head
of household and not where he came from, so we can
assume he is from Scotland or from Ireland - maybe a
large family came over the sea or perhaps the other
family trees online are only made up from speculation.
In the 1800s there were dozens of Alexanders in census
records and dozens more of the Williams so they could
all possibly be related to this one Alexander. It
would be very difficult for anyone to be certain of
the connections to this one man.
- 1800
Molley Douglass (283 KB)
Edgefield SC - since I ran
across Alexander Douglass with the Sturgeons, I felt
like finding his wife after he passed away. IF this is
our Mary Molley, she has not yet married George Little
- Remember that her husband went on a survey with
Molley's brother John Handley to Kentucky and was
murdered on the way back to Pennsylvania - she feared
the Indians and left.
- 1800
Mifflin PA Alexander Cochran (346 KB)
near James Adams
- 1860
Jacob Cochran (558 KB)
Hamilton Township, Butte,
California - Jacob is a Miner living with his brother
John Henderson Cochran so now we know why the other
census record showed Mariah alone this
year....apparently they all went searching for Gold
before moving to Iowa Territory.
- 1860
Brice Cochran (531 KB)
Oxford, Guernsey, Ohio
- 1790
John Handley Junior (188 KB)
Newbern District, Wayne
County, North Carolina this is a large census
page
- 1860
Agness and daughter Eliza Cochran (604 KB)
both from Ireland and in
Pennsylvania; are they related ? Was this Agnes a
Henderson?
- 1810
George Handley (61 KB)
Monroe Virginia, while his
brothers went to Kentucky near the Little
families
- 1860
Thomas Henderson (524 KB)
on Ohio census page next to
Mariah and Elzira, so he must be Uncle Thomas.
- 1810
Clendennin, John in PA (213 KB)
hard to find Clendenning on
census records but people often changed the spelling
of their names - Nancy Clendenning married a William
Henderson about 1797 in PA....some were found in North
Carolina and I wonder if they migrated to
Pennsylvania....the search continues for this
line. |
Anne's ancestors received land in
Darlington SC
So
many found on the 1790 census, then 1800, 1810, and 1820
but the news of new farm land further south was
irresistable as well as the news of Daniel Boone's
exporations of Kentucky so they began a long journey to
their new home.
Their grandfathers came from all
over the world and fought during many wars and battles
to receive their land grants in the new colonies along
the east coast, with most leaving a nice paper trail for
us to follow.
Obviously
there would be military records you can order from
Nara.gov, Property Deeds or Land Grants, Tax Lists,
Church Records, Death Records, Petitions or Letters,
Marriage Licenses, long before the first national census
record of 1790. Even though many courthouses have burned
down, there are a few lingering records and Books or
Diaries to help with this study.

So
many limbs and branches to study in this family
tree!
Our
Stone - Fenn - Carter family might connect to
this guy but we will move on to other research
for now...like the Bozeman, McClain, Anderson,
Sellers, who joined them in Alabama. These
families began in Virginia and spent over one
hundred years traveling into the Carolinas and
Georgia living among the indians, and we find
them in Ramer, Montgomery County, Alabama living
among many non white families. Our indian blood
is very real.

About Our
Family Research |
Includes
many Native American ancestors.
"I
have Cherokee blood in me. I have just enough
white blood for you to question my honesty!"Will
Rogers
With so many families in
former Creek Nation Alabama, it is quite
possible we are mixed.
Frankie
was honest, hard working and faithful, grew up
on a farm, some education until he joined the
Air Force. Baptised in a creek in Chetopa Kansas
and read his Bible every day. His word was law
and his friends knew that he always had a place
at the dinner table for them or an extra chair
by the fish pond.
He served in Korea as a
copilot of a bomber plane and was wounded and
sent back to Maxwell AFB in Alabama where he
then told his brother Freelon that it was too
hot for him to go there and Freelon went to
Korea anyway and died in a truck
incident.
Several in my family have had
special gifts, the gift of knowing and seeing,
the gift of healing or the ability to stop
bleeding. Dad had several true premonitions and
the night before he passed away, he held me in
his arms saying I love you more than you will
ever know and he was gone on that Christmas
morning.
His sister was born with a veil
over her face. His aunt heard ticking in the
wall before a loved one died. His granny Clora
smoked a pipe and could read the ashes. He
witnessed many healings by my mom's granny and
he was very close to her. Most made their own
medicines. He spoke of his mother spending hours
in the field gathering herbs.
He found
peace at the fish pond, that is where he could
be found on the weekends and I feel now that he
is at peace with his elders and loved ones while
guiding me along this journey of
love.

Sarah Lee and Charner
Cooper married - he served in the Civil War and
their son Levi moved to Montgomery and worked on
the farm of Thomas R. Carter and fell in love
with Carter's daughter Sarah, whom he married
and had a daughter named Susie Mae Cooper. They
came from the Lee and Cooper families of
Chambers County and lived not far from each
other. Family says that Elijah Lee might have
bought his land from a Creek Indian and they
surely lived in Creek Indian Territory.
