Research Notes:
Perhaps John F Cochran was born before Mary Cochran married John F Kuykendall. He was named as a son of Kuykendall in the 1860 census.
We seek evidence for the possibility that Susan Price was a daughter of John Price and Kesiah Cockerham, which we have assumed based on plausible agreement of dates and places.
