Family History

My great grandfather Jacob Cochran told the family that his ancestors came from Scotland, so we work from there. History records show a Captain Alexander Cochran in the American Revolution and Land Records show an Alexander and a William Cochran receiving Military Lands in Ohio 1820.  They are the only two Cochrans in Guernsey Ohio at the time while other Cochrans are settling in other counties.

As the Cochrans marry, the new limbs and branches of the family tree begin with many new names to research and locate their place of origin and where they first settled in America.

  • Jacob's Grave (14 KB)
    J. B. Cochran born 1822 buried at Hill City Cemetery in Kansas. He had left Guernsey Ohio after the Civil War to explore the Iowa Territory for a few years, then migrated into KS in 1882.

    J. B. Cochran born 1822 to William Cochran and Martha Henderson served in the Civil War. Some say that two of his brothers went into Canada and never returned.

    Generations

    Most of them did serve in the American Revolution and records are found in the DAR file.  Copies can be ordered for our personal home records.  Then of course there was the Civil War and many other battles but our families were very patriotic and protected this nation.

    Grandpa Jacob's daughter Elzira wrote a letter about their journey from Ohio to Iowa and then about his journey to Kansas in 1882.   Just type Elizira into the search box to read it.

    My mother's Carter lineage has been traced to two men who came on the Mayflower, Edward Doty and Samuel Fuller and my files includes a copy of the actual papers from the Mayflower.  Most of her lineage worked it's way down the east coast into Alabama by 1820 with many connections to the Indian Tribes they encountered.

    Ironically some of my dad's ancestors were in South Carolina 1790 at the same time that my mother's ancestors were residing there, plus some found in Virginia or Maryland 1600s history.

    Bozeman Cousins

    Mordecai's son Peter migrated to Montgomery Alabama, while his son John migrated to Mississippi. Peter's son William Henry is our common ancestor.

    Philemon's Lewis Bozeman born 1819 was found in Covington County while other lines were found in Dallas County in Alabama. Their ancestors are found in the South Carolina Roster and the Colonial Soldiers of the South.

    Philemon's father John Lewis Bozeman may be the brother of Mordecai.

    Many documents have been gathered and posted within the webpages, to share with our cousins who wish to continue our research in Alabama.

  • John Thomas Bozeman, son of Peter Edward (386 KB)
    Born 1866 in Dublin Alabama, married Alice Stephens and had my great granny, Lorena Emma Bozeman - John was the son of Nancy Jane Anderson and Peter Edward Bozeman. His grandparents were Martha Hill and William Henry Bozeman who migrated from Darlington South Carolina about 1826. The Andersons and Bozemans lived next to each other in Hope Hull 1830 with Peter Edward being born in 1834. When William died, Martha Hill Bozeman moved to Dublin near her brother John Hill, who created the Hills Chapel School and Church........ After the Civil War Peter and Nancy bought land in Ramer/ Dublin area along the Meriweather Trail close to John Hill. John Hill donated land for their family cemetery which I visited, and he donated land for the Hills Chapel Church and another cemetery across from it where John T Bozeman is buried.
  • WWI Charles McClain (36 KB)
    his birth date is wrong, should be 1886 but it shows his wife as Lorena Bozeman. Charles was the son of Elizabeth Broadway and Josiah Marion McClain's who's families migrated from South Carolina into Georgia, then Alabama. Josiah descends from Elizabeth Moon and Charles McClain of 1750s Virginia. Elizabeth Moon had named a son Josiah and his son James had married an indian woman called Anna - Anna had a son named Josiah. I have seen three different dates of birth for grandpa Charlie but they had very little education, some could not read nor write at all, so the numbers are often mixed up. His mother Elizabeth was the daughter of Mary Stephens and Abner Broadway, and when Josiah died about 1897, she remarried to John Gardner of Dublin. Elizabeth and John and Charlie are found on the 1900 census, then again in 1910 with Lorena.

  • John in Mississippi 1830 (43 KB)
    Rev War Soldier could be the brother of Peter or the son of Mordecai - Mordecai's lineage had not been researched until this decade. I see that his son James remained in Darlington SC but John did not and Peter did not. John and Peter may have married indian women and migrated into Alabama and John moved on into Mississippi which was at that time Choctaw Nation. John and Peter both had difficulty after their migration proving that they had served in the American Revolution even though it is recorded where they got paid in 1785

    Lorena Bozeman McClain's father in law was married to Elizabeth Broadway - He had deserted his first wife Julia King in Georgia and joined the Civil War in Alabama. He was wounded. He married or lived with Elizabeth having two girls around 1870 who died but had Charles Allen McClain in 1886 . Josiah died soon after. Josiah's mother was known as Anna and his father was James McClain who might have also served in the Civil War. It is believed that Josiah's mother was native american - Charlie McClain was a very dark tiny man and very spiritual and faithful.  Julia filed application to the Indian Nation.

    One fascinating tidbit of the history of Montgomery County during the Civil War is that my mother's ancestors were all over Ramer.  Ramer was the home of the first President of the Confederacy.  Did my family know Jefferson Davis?  Did they serve in the war with him?  Did they attend any parties at the White House?  Ramer had a train station and my family certainly did use it.  My family also traveled those bumpy dirt roads into Troy or into Montgomery to sell their crops on Dexter Avenue where the capitol was located.
    They grew up and intermarried or worked  with many popular names of our Alabama History.
