Alexander, William, Jacob, Cochrans of Pennsylvania into Ohio.
Was the Captain Alexander Cochran of the American Revolution my ancestor?
Uncertainty about Hugh Cochran of 1700s Maryland but he also named a son Alexander. Yet they may all connect to Clan Cochran of Europe.
My Alexander and William were the only two Cochran families in Guernsey Ohio in 1800 and 1810, then their sons began their own legacy of Cochran.
Family tale is that two went into Canada and never returned. Some settled in Iowa Territory for many years, then California, Kansas and Arizona, with descendants in Colorado and Alabama.
In 1913 Arkansas a nice blend of genealogy began with the marriage of Frank and Luella, and once again in 1951 with Frank and Anne.
1972 with the marriage of Charles and Kathy, the surnames in the family tree doubled, and their daughter's marriage with Westbrook increases the number of Grandparents to baby "Carter".
Carter has a strong ancestry, full of faith and patriotism, honest, hard working individuals who have created a loving legacy for him to continue.
