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.
Jacob, the son of William, and grandson of Alexander, married Clora
Jane Miller and had our Frank Delbert Cochran. Frank married Luella
Coonfield and had my father Frankie Lavern Cochran in 1927. Luella's parents
were Lattie Little and Ben Coonfield.
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. Anne
Carter's parents were Alice McClain and Cecil Carter. Anne was
orphaned at age 4 and raised by the parents of Alice, Lorena Emma Bozeman
and Charles Allen McClain in Ramer.
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.
"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.

notes from the LDS
site, Rootsweb, and census records
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 Irma 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.
Named after my great grandmother Lorena Bozeman McClain who was born in
1890 Ramer, Montgomery, Alabama, I have thoroughly enjoyed writing about this
great lady and her heritage.
After my parents passed away and my husband
died of cancer, I began to write about them and their family trees when I was
unable to sleep.
Our families have traveled many miles and intertwined in
the same communities, some knowing each other, many moons ago.

Brooks (417 KB)
Lineage
Charles Brooks had dozens and dozens of ancestors
migrating into Alabama in the early 1800s. Joseph Baxley born 1815 Georgia or
possibly as some speculate, in SC., married Mary Evans and named a son James H.
- the tombstone of James has the middle name as Hardie. James served in the
Civil War and married Louisa Miranda Holt and resided in "Holtville". Their
daughter Ella Olivia Baxley married L. W. Hood and had Bessie Mae Hood who
married Milton Elijah Thornton. Elijah's parents were Mary Angeline Partridge,
an indian, and George Thornton, a mixed blood from Georgia, who had settled in
Central, Elmore County, Alabama. Elijah's daughter, Mary Ella Thornton married
James Edgar Brooks Jr. Parents of James were Susie Mae Cooper and James E Brooks
Sr. James and Susie are listed on the 1930 census with both their widowed
mothers. Susie's ancestors were in Chambers County about 1830: Andrew Cooper and
"Alsey" from SC living near Malinda Phillips and Elijah Lee born 1777 SC. Their
children Sarah F. Lee married Charner P. Cooper, a soldier from the Civil War,
and had a son named Levi who moved to Hope Hull working on a farm owned by
Thomas Randolph Carter, where he fell in love with the daughter, Sarah Elizabeth
Carter. Parents of Thomas were "Mary" and John Wise Carter of SC who had
migrated to Talledega. Thomas is buried in Hope Hull on his old plantation by
his first wife Lacy Jane Bozeman. Her name was Lucy on census but Lacy on her
tombstone. Thomas served in the Civil War and his grandfather Captain John
Carter served in the American Revolution, along with his own father in law, John
Wise of South Carolina.
The second wife of Thomas Carter was Mary
Josephine Hereferd of Virginia and she was the mother of Sarah Elizabeth
Carter.
Mary was not very happy with this marriage and had only the one
child. She buried Thomas by his first wife. Some of Mary's family settled in
Alabama and some moved on to Texas. Mary's mother was Jemima Ramsey of
Virginia.
Parents of James Brooks were Annie Ballard and John Brooks of
Tennesse and they are all buried at Greenwood Cemetery in Montgomery Alabama.
John was a railroad man, born to Roxanna Permilia Smith of TN and a John Brooks
born 1837 Pennsylvania.
John 1837 died of tuberculosis in Texas. Parents
of Roxanna were Caroline Bond and Thomas Smith. Parents of Annie Ballard were
Dora Craig and James Ballard of TN. Some of these families migrated into
Tennessee about 1800 from the Carolinas living amongst the Cherokee Indians and
Chickasaw so they could have been mixed blood. Annie's picture shows she was a
dark lady with black eyes and black hair and so was her husband's features very
dark but I would suspect his from the Smith side of the family.
Charles
Brooks wed Kathy Cochran in Montgomery Alabama. She was at least one eighth
Cherokee blood. Her parents were Anne Carter and Frank Cochran. Anne's parents
were Alice Emily McClain and Cecil Earl Fenn Carter. Emily was called
Emma,Ellie, and Emmer by her parents Lorena Bozeman and Charles McClain Lorena's
parents were Alice Lorena Stephens and John Thomas Bozeman. Charlie's parents
were Elizabeth Broadway and Josiah Marion McClain.
The father of John
Bozeman was Peter Edward Bozeman, a Civil War Soldier who married Nancy Jane
Anderson, and her father was Seaborn Montgomery Anderson, another Civil War
soldier. Seaborn had married Lavinia Jane Sellers.
Cecil Carter's parents
were Anna Lou Stone and William Franklin Fenn. Frank was born in Tuskegee to
Emeline Harrell and John Fenn a Civil War soldier of Georgia. Anna's parents
were Mary Ann Hendrick and Augustus Marvin Stone of Georgia. Anna divorced Frank
Fenn about 1901/1902 and remarried to a Carter, then to a Dasher, as found in
Georgia census records.

Charlie raised the children of Alice and Cecil when they died by 1939. Charlie
was the son of Elizabeth Broadway and Josiah Marion McClain. Census records show
the date of birth of Charlie was 1886 and all other records seem to differ
because his wife was not very educated.

Many roots and branches
needing attention
some branches have
famous Indian Chiefs
some registered in Indian Nation
some were
rejected
many of the historial indian names that others
are
researching managed to be in our family tree
yet not in my direct
line.
actually this family tree became a kudzoo vine
with over 17,000
members
my direct line said NO WAY to the Trail of Tears and became
"white" thinking they would be free
This page is actually the entry to
the rest
of our research. Genforum failed to send
me the sign in name and
password for the
old webpage, after repeated requests
and when you toss
your cookies,
you can't get back in, so here we go
<giggles>
We are Native American, speak English, and
never lived in a teepee
:)
We grew up with truth and honor. Respect
for all creations. A
passion for art and music
runs strong in our family.
As a young child
in Montgomery,I played with the kids next door
who were full blood Indian;
the Jackson family got along
so well with mine and our mothers had a lot in
common
with their recipes, hobbies and customs.
In Arizona many spoke
spanish; I remember a huge Catholic church where we all went for vaccinations
but best of all were the outdoor festivals held there.
I love working
on our family tree but unable to travel
to the many places required to get
more facts, so
I add my little collection of old photos,
notes, and
stories
so enjoy !
Much love and appreciation to my wonderful aunts
and cousins working on this line. One of my new online cousins turned out to be
my best friend from high school and our paths crossed as we both researched our
grannies; such fond memories of a truly wonderful friend, Linda McClanahan of
Forest Hills.

Father always called Mother his little Indian Squaw and she loved it. They
were a very proud Indian couple yet never knew the language or customs known to
those on Indian Reservations.
Our families grew up with grandparents who had
a tonic or poltice for their ailments and grew their crops to feed their
families - mother nature took good care of them. They traveled our great nation
seeking answers that were never found. We lived among other Indian
families...Mother was Cherokee, possibly half blood; Father was both Cherokee
and another tribe, possibly Creek, or Shawnee, since his mom stated they
were from two different tribes.
=Mother's line has many women with first
names only, which could also be a clue that there may be other Indian tribes
involved in this family tree. I find it so strange that the men are well known,
even their middle names, while nothing is known about their brides. Yes it would
seem that the well known, well to do, McClains and Bozemans would at least
remember a granny's last name. There are several McClains, Moons, Cochrans,
Littles on the
Indian Rolls registered in Oklahoma, but it is so very
hard
to locate a connection. Was John McClain a son of our Charles
and
Cherokee or was it his wife who had Indian Blood? We have so much work to do !
The census records are all black and white, Indians were mostly put down as
colored. Even the 1850 census records show race only as B W or C. Indians lost
their lands and they lost their rights to be treated humanely. Some were dragged
from their homes and forced to move to Oklahoma Indian Territory and many did
not survive the trip...Perhaps my ancestors died on the Trail of Tears, yet they
might have hidden until it was safe to come out and claim to be white, so they
would be treated as equals. Those who hid might have become the Over Hill
Cherokee Tribe. Others moved into Kentucky or Tennessee, intermarried, learned a
trade or fought in the Civil War. They took on famous white names so nobody
would suspect they were Indian.Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, Missouri, Illinois and
even Texas and Arkansas became a safe haven to many tribes...Of course Kentucky
became a state after actually being a part of Virginia; Tennessee was actually a
part of North Carolina. We have the locations and the time periods yet we have
no documentation to prove our Indian Blood.
The Indians became invisible.
They had no choice!
One ancestor suffered a house fire that destroyed any
documents and photos that might connect to our past. He was Annie Stone Fenn's
oldest son. We are finding more connections to Virginia, North Carolina and
South Carolina before the Trail of Tears began and know that many were
intermarried with these tribes, before they moved into Georgia or Kentucky and
onward.Some came out of New York Indian Country, Rhode Island and Massachusetts,
removing to Ohio and on westward mingling with other tribes, and starting a new
life. My John Wright Little left Kentucky and claimed to be white when he got to
Arkansas so that he could find good work and own land. His line goes to Charles
Weatherford of Virginia which could be the same father of Chief Red Eagle. Great
Grandpa Charlie McClain had many visions of his elders, but of course some
thought he was simply crazy. His wife, Lorena Bozeman was a healer and could
stop bleeding, people still remember her faithful help in Ramer...Anne Carter
also had her visions and her husband Frank Cochran had amazing premonitions, not
simply intuition, but the true feeling of happenings in the family, that led him
home in urgency. His sister was born with a veil over her face which the doctor
removed twice and it still came back ! The third time, her mother, Luella
Coonfield Cochran, took the veil and placed it in the family Bible that once
belonged to her mother Lattie and it still remains. The veil is usually a gift
to a seer.
In my dreams, I heard mother's voice saying Sleepy Cloud and I am
still trying to learn what she meant.

- Thank You
For Visiting!
Many of our ancestors have at some point in their journeys, spent time
residing in Alabama. They crossed the Atlantic and ventured south for many
reasons and on through the midwest.
Many of them married young Native
Americans and that is one fact which is very difficult to prove since it was
rarely ever acknowledged on census records. Then the census officials often
could not spell names correctly! Everyone was black or white in the 1800s and
mostly whites were allowed to purchase our land and profit from it. Now we have
to prove a direct blood line to our Indian families or the government will not
recognize us as Native Americans. Can you find any other race asked to prove
themselves?
If you take a moment to think about it, we ALL probably have
Indian blood in our family tree.
It's no big deal and nothing to hide,
but certainly something we can be very proud of because the Indian were a very
proud people who cherished this country and all their Creator provided within
it. They prayed daily to the Creator and had high respect for everyone in their
peaceful land.
Clues are found in several areas, yet we continue to
search
for the true answer to our past. Listen to the stories of your Elders
and look around for clues.
Tracing our roots can be very time consuming,
and extremely addictive: each day we find a new name to add to the list
of
cousins. Each day we find a new story to share and possibly a shocking
fact!
Many of the branches in my family tree lead to another Indian Chief
and I am still looking for the Indian Princess in my direct blood
line.
Our Little family has been researching a link to the sister of
Pocahontas, named Cleopatra, while some researchers say there is no
documentation proving she ever existed, they cannot prove she didn't.
One
great grandmother married at the age of 12 and had six children by the age of
19, according to the census records but I do believe they have her age posted
incorrectly. I am still anxious to know about her life, but she vanished about
1900 and hopefully to a better life! Her family may have been laborers on the
Fenn Plantation in Eufaula, and we certainly read where Indians worked the farm.
They shared every day together and intermarried. Some of the slaves on that
plantation adopted the last name of FENN.
My mother grew up as white
but learned very early in her childhood that she was different. She was taught
to run
hide whenever the KKK came down the road. Her uncle was told to sit
in the back of the bus during the days of prejudice.
Now I search for the
answers Mom was seeking - who gave her this Cherokee
heritage.
Names I am now searching are: Clora Jane Miller
Cochran, Lottie Sadonia Little, Luella Coonfield, Peter Edward Bozeman (Bosman),
Josiah Marion McClain (McLain), Annie Lee Stone Fenn Carter, William Frank Fenn,
Cecil Earl Carter, John Fann and Emeline Harrel, Nancy Jane Anderson, Sara Mills
with Joseph Stephens, Mordicai Bozeman of 1700, Martha Young Coonfield, Mary
Epperson Coonfield, Barsheba Clark Coonfield, and several Moons as
well.
We all connect thru our old ones and find we are all
cousins!

Working with family stories of the old days, tales of medicine
women, and their beloved soldiers of the many wars in our country, I may not be
able to prove or officially document
our Native American ancestry, yet
knowing it is in my heart and in my spirit, is all that is really
important.
The stories consist of one great granny, Lorena, who was
a well known healer in Dublin, Alabama; one who could read the ashes after
smoking her pipe; one aunt born with a veil over her face ( which was removed
three times) which was the sign of a seer. The amazing intuition of my father,
who left work immediately when it thundered, knowing that his baby was about to
be born, and yes, I was born that day, in Broken Arrow, Tulsa,
Oklahoma.
Then we are told of Mr Ward, working in his field, as a strong
thunderstorm approached, he slammed his axe into the ground,
and the
skies cleared.
Our families pass on many interesting stories but they all
spoke the English language, yet practiced good survival skills.
I
would love to learn more about their culture and language, and teach our
children to respect these and the ways of our elders. Yet we have the stories to
pass on and the love, truth and respect that were taught to me.
When
Indians learned about Christianity, they welcomed new knowledge of GOD and the
afterlife with their elders. They were in awe, learning of Jesus, and of course
we were told the Mormons believe that Jesus appeared to the Old America, so
perhaps this faith was quite welcomed by most the tribes when the Europeans
arrived.
So when they were Baptized, many were given new names to use and
they are almost impossible to trace now. Some Indians changed their name more
than once during their lifetime.
Our Stephens line in 1760 married an
unknown full blood Cherokee woman in NC and gave her a Biblical Name.
Due
to Indian unrest and the Trail of Tears, many Eastern Band Cherokee fled south
or up into the mountains (OverHill) to escape the laws and disease of the white
man. Our family believes that Charles Weatherford "may" have fathered our Kitty
Weatherford in Virgina before moving to Alabama and fathering Chief Red Eagle.
We also might connect our Cochran, Little, Wright lines to Cleopatra, sister of
Pocahontas. Many of this line came from South Carolina and Virginia into
Tennesee and Kentucky before moving to the Midwest.
Mother's line in
Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina came into Alabama for quite some time
before some moved west.
(Moon, McClain, Bozeman,Anderson,
Stephens)
Census takers were very prejudiced and would not recognize
Indians owning property so they put most down as blacks or mulatto - in some
cases the Indian feared the government finding them so they called them selves
blacks or whites.
After the Trail of Tears, they believed that no Indians
existed in other areas, so no Indians appeared on census records, and had to be
found on the Indian Nation Rolls in Oklahoma.
Thus we hope to find our
ancestors registered on the Indian Rolls, somehow, but it sure seems to be an
endless journey.
