1790 There were two men listed in the census named Thomas Cochran living in Rutherford County, North Carolina.
1790 Thos Cochran lived in Twelfth Company, Rutherford County, North Carolina, in a household with 1 males age 16 and over, and 2 females. [1]
1790 Tho' Cochran lived in Twelfth Company, Rutherford County, North Carolina, in a household with 1 males under age 16, 1 males age 16 and over, and 5 females. [2]

1801 Thomas Cockrum served on the Rutherford County jury in October court. [4]
1802 The Rutherford County court decided a case of Marvil Mills vs Thomas Cockram: "covenants performed". The jury found the covenants not performed and assessed the plaintiff damages to forty two pounds and court costs. January [14?] court. [5]
1802 A deed from John Tabor to Thomas Cockerham containing 50 acres was dated March 21. The deed was proved by James Justice in equity court in January, 1814. An undated deed from William Edwards to Thomas Cockerham for 100 acres was proved by James Justice the same day. [6]
1803 Thomas Cockram was appointed overseer of a public road by the Rutherford January court. [7]
1806 Thomas Justice, of Buncombe County, sold land to David Cockram, of Rutherford County on February 24, for 10 pounds. The 10 acre tract was in Rutherford County on the "little Table". Witnessed by Thomas Cockram and Jas Justice. [8] Thomas Cockram presented the deed to the court on January 6, 1817. [9]

[14][This is near the NC-SC border on old US Highway 25] See also Deed abstracts of Tryon, Lincoln & Rutherford Counties, North Carolina by Brent Holcomb; Rutherford County, North Carolina Abstracts of Deeds, 1773-1795 by Mrs William Lynch [Caroline Heath] Davis; Abstracts of Deeds, Rutherford County, North Carolina, Volumes 1-4 by John Plath Green.
c 1813-1814 Isaiah Pickett crossed the state border [apparently from Rutherford County, North Carolina into Greenville County, South Carolina, or vice-versa] and eloped with Nancy Cochran, under age 15. [15] It is unclear to us whether Isaiah was living with his father, Micajah, in Rutherford County, North Carolina or in Greenville, South Carolina, at this time.
1814 John Tabor sold land to Thomas Cockerham, of Rutherford County. The 50 acre plantation was on the north side of Green River by Thomas Justice's line of old survey. Deed dated March 29. Witnessed by Wm Edwards, John Grevat, and James Justice. [16]
1816 Thomas Cockram sold a 40 acre tract of land in Rutherford County, south of Green River, called Riddles place, to John Hester, on September 23. Witnessed by David Cockerham and Rich'd Allen. Signed Tho's Cockerham. [17]
1817 Micajah Pickett, Thomas Cockerham, and William Richardson were involved in land transactions with James McKinney, perhaps related to the separation of Micajah Pickett from wife Kisanna while Micajah was living with his mistress Susannah.
1817 Micajah Pickett of Greenville County, South Carolina, sold several pieces of property totalling over 1075 acres, near Green River and Panther Creek in Rutherford County, North Carolina, including his residence, to James McKinney (son-in-law through Susanna Johns) of Rutherford, for $3500. [18] [19] David Dicky proved the deed for Micajah Pickett in court on January 6. [20]
1817 Thomas Cockerham/Cockram sold land in Rutherford County, North Carolina, to James McKinney (son-in-law of Micajah through second "wife" Susannah Johns), for $500, on March 28. There were 3 separate tracts of land, all adjoining each other, on both sides Green River. One tract containing 100 acres adjacent to Thomas Justice line and John Grevets corner. One tract containing 50 acres on the south side of the river adjacent to Thomas Justice's line. A tract of 30 acres on the north side of the river including James Steps old improvement. Thomas (C) Cockerham. Witness D. Dickey. [21] [22] Speculation: the adjacent land of Henry Cockrum mentioned in the 1832 deed below belonged to Thomas' nephew Henry (son of brother Matthew) and the William Richardson named in these deeds was Henry's brother-in-law. Are there other transactions involving the Cockrum-McKinney-Richardson families?
1828 Henry McKinney and John Covington sold land to William Richardson. The land was in Rutherford County on both sides of Maple Creek of Mountain Creek. [23] Note that Micajah Pickett had land on Mountain Creek.

1823 The inventory of the estate of Micajah Pickett described a valuable plantation or tract of land lying on Green River purchased from Thomas Cockerham and others. [28]
To a valuable plantation or tracts of land lying on Green River purchased from John Mills & Marvill Mills & Abrose Mills & Mr Henry or Mr Joseph Dunham and Thomas Cockerham and others supposed to be worth 10,000.

1830 Mary Cockrum lived in Rutherford County, North Carolina in a household with females: 1 (60 thru 69). [32] William Cockran (perhaps a son) and several Jackson families (in-laws of William) were listed adjacent [same and prior page]. Charles B Allen (spouse of daughter Mary May) and Richard Allen were listed two pages prior. Perhaps this Mary Cockrum was the widow of the father of Nancy and William and Mary May Cochran. No wife was listed in the census record for Thomas Cockrum in 1820, so Mary was likely not the mother of Thomas' children, if she was in fact his widow.
Research Notes:
There are also documents related to an older Thomas Cockerham in Rutherford County.
1758 Thomas Cockerham sold land to Patrick Saunders, both of Anson County, North Carolina. The 300 acre tract was on the P.D on the south fork of Mountain Creek. The tract was adjacent to lands of Jos. Cockerham. The tract had been originally granted to William Terry. [33]
1762 Thomas Cockerham received a grant for 112 acres of land on the North side of the South Fork of Mountain Creek of Pee Dee River, Anson County, North Carolina. Issued on November 15. [34][35] Note that Isaiah's father Micajah Pickett owned land near Mountain Creek.
1767 Thomas Cockerham sold land to Patrick Saunders, both of Anson County, North Carolina. The 300 acre tract was on the P.D on Mountain Creek. [36]
1771/1811 The year on a marriage record is ambiguous. The 1771 date is consistent with a 1773 deed, below, naming Joseph Cockerham. The abstracts report a date of 1811.
1771 James Cockram and Elizabeth Alanzer were licensed to marry in Rutherford County on December 31. James and Thomas Cockram were bondsmen. [37]
1811 Jos. Cockram and Elizabeth Alonza were married on December 31, 1811, in Rutherford County, North Carolina. Thomas Cockram and James Cockram were the bondsmen. Witnessed by J. Miller. [38] [39] [40]
1772 Thomas Cockerham received a grant for 100 acres of land on the West side of the North prong of Mountain Creek. Entered on May 16. Issued on February 29, 1775. [41]
1772 Thomas Cockerham received a grant for 100 acres of land on the West side of the North prong of Mountain Creek. Entered on May 16. Issued on March 4, 1775. [42]
1773 Thomas Cockerham sold land to Jonathan Turner, both of Anson County, North Carolina. The tract was on the P.D on the south fork of Mountain Creek. The tract was adjacent to lands of Joseph Cockerham and Patrick Sanders. The tract had been originally granted to William Terry. Signed by Thos and Elizth. Cockerham. [43]
See the 1790 census record in the notes above.
Our research focus is on the ancestry of Nancy Cochran, wife of Isaiah Pickett. Nancy's parents are not known to us. The Thomas Cockerham that we show for her father is just an informed guess and does not show a proven relationship. Similarly for the siblings that we show for Nancy.
Several people who might be related to Nancy Cochran have been identified through DNA matches and documentation, with varying levels of evidence, as summarized in the Chronicle Notes for each of them at this website. Many of them have DNA matches with Robert Wolfe, a descendant of Nancy Cochran and Isaiah Pickett, as well as with descendants of several of Nancy and Isaiah's other children. All of them lived close to the families of Micajah Pickett, the father of Isaiah Pickett, or lived in Georgia where Isaiah and Nancy lived for a while. Micajah Pickett had households near the border between Rutherford County, North Carolina and Greenville County, South Carolina. Several of these possible relatives were named in the estate proceedings of Micajah Pickett, perhaps as neighbors knowledgeable about local land values. Several of these possible relatives were named in other documents that suggest that they interacted with each other or with the Pickett family.
Robert Wolfe suspects that Nancy's father was Thomas Cockerham/Cockrum and that Thomas was a son of William Cockerham, son of John Cockerham. We also show several people as siblings of Nancy because their descendants have DNA matches with descendants of Nancy Cochran. We have no direct documentary evidence that any of these specific relationships are correct but the relationships are shown here to make it easy to review the notes about the relationships and to identify potential DNA matches. I seek further evidence to clarify these possible relationships. Evidence about these possible siblings is summarized below and more details are given in the Chronicle Links on their pages at this website.
Mary May Cockrum and William Cochran and David Cochran might be siblings of Nancy Cochran, based on DNA evidence and supporting documentary evidence. Several descendants of these possible siblings have DNA matches with Robert Wolfe, with each other, and with other descendants of Nancy Cochran and Isaiah Pickett. This gives substantial DNA evidence suggesting that Mary May and William and David share ancestors with Nancy Cochran. We suspect that the common ancestors were their father and mother. Other potential DNA matched cousins are also listed below. We seek further information about these potential relationships. Several of these families are shown here as siblings or cousins of Nancy, not because of a proven relationship, but to facilitate easy access to their notes.
A) Mary May Cockrum, spouse of Charles Benson Allen, is plausibly a sister of Nancy Cochran. Perhaps she and Nancy were the two daughters (age 10-15) of Thomas Cochran in the 1810 census listing (see notes below). Mary May and Charles Allen moved to Jefferson County, Illinois.
B) David Cockerham, spouse of Nancy Allen, is another potential sibling of Nancy Cochran but with only a few DNA matches compared to Mary May. They also moved to Jefferson County, Illinois.
C) William Cockerham, spouse of Rachel Jackson, is plausibly a brother of Nancy Cochran baed on several of their descendants who have DNA matches with Robert Wolfe and with other descendants of Isaiah Pickett and Nancy Cochran. Several researchers name Rachel's father as Gabrial Jackson and name Ephram and James Jackson as two of her brothers. Gabriel and Ephram Jackson and Thomas Cockrum were witnesses at a court case regarding the estate of Micajah Pickett. James Jackson sold land to William Cochran.
C) John Jeremiah Cochran, born about 1817 in Georgia, spouse of Rebecca Brown, is not plausibly a brother of Nancy, but is shown as a nephew of Nancy until we figure out how he is related. Several of his descendants have DNA matches. [44]
D) William R Cochran, born 1820, spouse of Emeline Watson, is not plausibly a brother of Nancy, but is shown as a nephew of Nancy until we figure out how he is related. Several of his descendants have DNA matches. [45]
E) Roland Ware and his wife Temperance [46] have more than 30 descendants with DNA matches to Robert. Many of these descendants also have matches with other descendants of Nancy Cochran and Isaiah Pickett and with the potential Cochran relatives listed above. Few of these descendants of Roland and Temperance Ware are matched with descendants of ancestors of Isaiah Pickett or with descendants of ancestors of Roland Ware. Thus, it is probable that the descendants of Roland Ware and Temperance White are matched with Robert because of a shared Cochran ancestor of Temperance.
F) David Cockerham, spouse of Sarah Jane Coward, was likely from an earlier generation than Nancy, based on his birth year. Other researchers have named his father as Thomas Cockerham. We show him as a brother of Nancy's father, until we figure out how he is related. [47]
We have researched the following and suspect that they were not plausibly the father of Nancy Cochran:
James Cochran has been named by some researchers as the father of Nancy Cochran, spouse of Isaiah Pickett. Several of those researchers identify James as the James Cochran who died in 1806 in Madison County, Kentucky. However, two deeds dated 1825 from Madison County, Kentucky, cited here, show that Nancy, the heir of that James Cochran, was married to Joseph Gooding in 1825. We conclude that Nancy, daughter of James Cochran who died in 1806 in Madison County, was not the spouse of Isaiah Pickett. Census records for Joseph Gooding, possibly the family of Nancy Goodding, of Missouri, are listed. We seek documentation to clarify any potential relationship.
1800 James Cochran purchased 258 acres of land on Silver Creek, Madison County, Kentucky, from John Cochran. [48]
1806 The will of James Cochran was proved in court session held February 3, 1806, in Madison County Kentucky. John Snoddy and John Cochran were witnesses. Samuel and Jane Cochran were executors. The will named wife Jane Cochran and son Samuel and other unnamed children. [49] [50]
1806 The inventory of the estate of James Cockerham was recorded in court on April 7, 1806, in Madison County Kentucky. [51] [52]
1807 Court indices record cases involving Cochran versus Buster and Cochran versus Garland, in Madison County. [53] [54]
1809 The will of Samuel Cochran was dated October 9 in Madison County, Kentucky. The will named brothers James and Andrew and three sisters Nancy, Martha and Jane. Samuel Cochran Sen and Jane Cochran were named as executors. [55]
1817 The will of John Cockran was dated October 21 in Madison County, Kentucky. The will described land on Silver Creek and sons William and Robert and John and wife Franny. Sons Robert and Samuel were named as executors. [56]
1822 William Cockrum sold land on the waters of Maple Swamp Creek in Greenville district to Hezekiah Cockrum and Reny Cockrum (perhaps Arena Cockrum?). Dated October 15. [57]
1825 The heirs of James Cockran sold 40 acres on Silver Creek, Madison County, to Robert Donaldson, on October 10. The heirs were named Jeremiah and Sally Hall, Andrew G Cochran, Margarett Cochran, James Cochran, Jane Cochran, Joseph Gooding and Nancy Gooding. [58]
1825 The heirs of James Cockran, deceased, sold 43 acres on Silver Creek, Madison County, to John Bates, on October 10. The heirs were named James Cochran, Andrew G Cochran, Jeremiah and Sally Hall, Nancy Cochran (signed by Nancy Gooding and Joseph Gooding), Martha Cochran, and Jane Cochran. Some or all of the heirs were of Clay County, Missouri. [59]
1826 Hezekiah Cockrum sold land in Greenville district to William Cockrum junior. Dated January 16. [60]
Several deeds record land on Silver Creek that was bought and sold by these Cockran families. [61] [62] The links to the deed books can be found at FamilySearch. [63]
1830 Joseph Goodding lived in Randolph County, Missouri in a household with males: 1 (30 thru 39); and females: 3 (under 5) and 1 (30 thru 39). James Cochran and William S Cochran were listed on the same page of the census. [64]
1832 John Cockrum sold land on the Saludia River to his youngest children John Cuicy, James Lattern, and Sarah Mimms Cockrum. Dated January 16. Witnessed by Woodsun Cockrum. [65]
1850 Joseph Gooding (age 53, born in Tennessee) lived in Sugar Creek Twp, Randolph County, Missouri, in a household with Nancy Gooding (age 55), Joseph Cunningham (age 30), Mary Jane Cunningham (age 22), Newton C Cunningham (age 2), Cunningham (age 0), and James Nicholas (age 24). [66]
1796 On 10 June, Richard Pugh of Laurens County, South Carolina, named grand-daughter Nancy Cochran in his will. Four step-children John, William, and Samuel McClanahan and daughter Margaret Cochran. Wife Mary Pugh executrix. Witness John Cochran. [67] [68] Nancy Cochran married Gray and moved to Texas. We conclude that Nancy Cochran, spouse of Isaiah Pickett, was not the grand-daughter of Richard Pugh named in his will.
Hezekiah Cockram [69] lived in Greenville District, South Carolina and had a daughter named Nancy, born October 15, 1800, making her a bit too young to be the wife of Isaiah Pickett.
