  • 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.

    • 1920 Madison Fenn on Commerce Street, Montg, AL (817 KB)
      he is Carrie's Uncle Mat or our great grandfather Wm F Fenn's brother who died in 1927 and is buried at Greenwood Cemetery by Wm F Fenn and near Emmett Fenn. Whomever buried Uncle Mat listed him as Matthew A Fenn, so they did not know much about the family's real names. Madison was a night watchman at a grocery store, according to this census, being widowed as his wife had died in Texas, prompting his return to Alabama. There is also a Rewis family on this census which we later find connected with Emmett Fenn.

    • 1930 Uncle Wm Frank Fenn near Highland Avenue (998 KB)
      Carrie's brother, also brother of our grandpa Cecil Earl Fenn Carter. Uncle Frank, his wife Neva Mae Walraven, and her mother are living between Panama Street and Highland Avenue. He works on the railroad, like his brother Emmett. Uncle Frank later buys land in Coosada on Airport Road and has a family cemetery which includes his brother Robert's grave. The land later becomes Coosada Elementary School. Some is donated to the church for a cemetery. This is where cousin Martha remembered her mom, Neva, boiling Frank's workclothes in a pot outside from his job on the railroad. There was once a housefire where they lost many of their family photos and mementos, but one son remembered Frank having a photo of a guy in baseball uniform signed by Wm Arthur "Tige" Stone.

    • Tracking our roots, cross country. Many records or legal documents were lost when courthouses were burned, during the war, yet there were many adoptions or marriages that were never legalized as people simply changed their last name. Alabma didn't even start recording birth certificates until about 1908 and Kansas had a lot of errors on the birth certificates of my family...Nicknames confuse the process and back then there were many Buds, Marys, Pollys, Dolly, Sallys, Kitty, Bettie, and usually these nicknames had nothing to do with their legal name, and often times the legal name was totally forgotten by relatives and friends. Mom heard that her dad was often called Nick. His mother's name was Anna Lou yet called Annie Lee. This causes many errors on legal documents such as their death certificate...Cecil's death certificate shows his wife was Ellie McLain but she was legally named Alice Emma McClain and her mom called her by Emmer. Her great grandpa James McClain married a woman only known as Anna and we ask why didn't anyone ask about her maiden name or did she have an indian name before she got married....My Uncle Mat Fenn is listed as Mathew at the cemetery yet his real name was Madison and his mother Emeline was shown as Emily on the census records plus his sister Ida Fenn was listed as Ida Fennel; Fenn was actually Fann in the 1700s. Then I believe that my grandpa William Frank Fenn was really named Franklin... My Dad was Frank but was mostly known as Bud. My Uncle Cecil was mainly known as Junior. My grandmother Luella was called Lue or Rue while her sister Amy Marie was known as Aunt Mae. Luella's death certificate shows her mother's name was Gladys but it was Lattie Cedonia. My grandpa Carter's death certificate shows his wife's name as Ellie but it was Alice Emma and I always heard that her name was Emily. My husband's Aunt Billie was legally named Glennie Thornton and her sister Tutor was legally named Loraine, so I guess very few knew.
    Then some liked to use their middle name, like my Uncle Billy preferred to be called Larry...Another issue we deal with is when those native americans were baptised, they were given an English name, so if you were searching the indian rolls, which name would be used? Some just married an indian and "gave" them a Christian name...Indians also liked hearing new names and simply switched names on their own. Plus we had other families who enjoyed changing the spelling of their name like McClain became McLain/McLean/Mc Lane, or the Cochran became Cochrane and Boseman became Bozeman or Boozman or even Bosman and once found on a census looking like Bogeman and then Brooke became Brooks.
    Think about Pocahontas - she was called Rebekah. Sequoyah's real name was George Guess, which was derived from Guest or Guist and we find Gist among our relatives in the Carolinas about 1800. Chief Red Eagle was really William Weatherford, the son of Charles, yet some say previous generations spelled it as Whitherford. Then about Chief Powhatan, nobody will ever know the many names of his wives and children, nor where they migrated and the Little/ Weatherford research of Kentucky had focused on a young indian bride named Cleopatra.Few had education, could not read nor write, did not know their date of birth and many did not know their parents nor where they came from. My granny Lorena, known as Aunt Rena, had her numbers mixed up on several papers, but much of her time was spent out on the farm and not in a classroom. Her son Charles Henderson could not read nor write, signed his name with an X mark and he is buried in an indian cemetery near Fort Mitchell. Then we have the prejudiced census takers who wrote down only what they heard instead of the official spelling of names or even the racial problems they had, like the only races were black or white, and anything other than that would be called Mulatto, which really is not fair to the Native Americans that we are seeking.
