Research Notes:
Who was Thomas Cockerham of Mecklenburg County, Virginia, witness to the 1776 will of Philip Cockerham and a 1777 deed of Obadiah Cockerham? Was he the same as Thomas Cochran who wrote his will in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina [not Virginia] in 1786 naming son Thomas? [1] Was he or his son Thomas related to Thomas Cochran of Rutherford County, North Carolina, who interacted with Micajah Pickett? Who was Thomas G. Cockran, guardian of Eugenia Morgan Cockran and Marelus Francis Cockran, orphans of Thomas Cockran, in Morgan County, Georgia in 1842? [2]
Some researchers name William Cochran (1710-1777) and wife Helen as the parents of Thomas (died 1794 in Mecklenburg, NC). A descendant has a dna match with Robert. Violet Cochran (1827-1885) Marshall, Tennessee daughter of Ezra-Azor, son of James M, son of Thomas (1744-1794). [3]
1776 Thomas Cockerham witnessed a will. Philip Cockerham, of McLenburg County (Mecklenburg county was formed from Lunenburg County in 1765), Virginia, dated his will on October 23. The will was witnessed by Tho's Jones Sen'r, Benj'n Cockerham, and Thos Cockerham. The will was proved on November 11 in Mecklenburg County, Virginia. [4] [5]

1777 Thomas Cockerham witnessed a deed. Obadiah Cockerham of Mecklenberg County, Virginia [perhaps a son of Philip Cockerham], sold land to Job Hansen. The 200 acre tract was in Mecklenberg County by John Winns line, Matthew Cockerhams line, Henry Cockerhams line, John Cockerhams line, and Thomas Turemans line. Deed dated September 27. Witnessed by Richard Hasley, Wm Ford, Thomas Tureman, Thomas Garrett, Thomas Cockerham, John Swepson, and John Robertson Jr. [6]
A Thomas Cochran also lived in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina during this time. Perhaps Thomas Cochran of Virginia and of North Carolina were two different people, or perhaps Thomas of Virginia moved to North Carolina around 1778 and purchased land in North Carolina in 1766 in preparation for a move to North Carolina.
1762-1779 The western parts of Anson County were successively formed as Mecklenburg, Tryon, Lincoln, and Rutherford Counties.
1762 Mecklenburg County, North Carolina was formed from the western part of Anson County. [7]
1768 Tryon County (later to become Lincoln and Rutherford counties) was formed from the western part of Mecklenburg County in North Carolina. [8]
1779 Lincoln and Rutherford Counties were formed from Tryon County in 1779. [9]
Thanks to J. D. Lewis. [10] [11]
Thomas Cochran (and sons) acquired land in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina. Twelve Mile Creek is southeast of Charlotte (now Union County, North Carolina). Little Camp Creek and Richardsons Creek are further west in Rutherford County. However, the language in some deeds suggest that the two creeks were near each other, so perhaps the names have changed. We seek clarification about the location of these properties.
1766 Thomas Cochran purchased 150 acres of land on the Cedar(?) branch of Twelve Mile Creek in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina from John and Elizabeth Hagans, dated October 20. [12] There were at least two creeks named Cedar Creek in the vicinity. One Cedar Creek was on a tributary to the Yadkin River. Yadkin River flows into the Great Peedee River upstream from Mountain Creek. Another Cedar Creek is a tributary to the Wateree River, downstream from 12 Mile Creek and upstream from Crooked Creek. [13]
Note that in 1770 Philip Hinson and Micajah Pickett owned land between Wateree and Dutchmans Creeks, Craven County, South Carolina. [14] [15] [16] Note that Dutchman Creek flows into the Wateree River just downstream from where Crooked Creek joins the Wateree. Thomas Cochran of Mecklenburg, and family, owned land on Crooked Creek at this time.
1766 Thomas Cochran purchased 150 acres on the Cedar(?) branch of Twelve Mile Creek from John and Elizabeth Hagans, dated October 21. [17]
1775 Thomas Cochram [Jr] was granted 270 acres on the south fork of Crooked Creek in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina. [18]
1775 Thomas Cochram Jr was granted 270 acres in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina. [19]
1775 James Cockerham was granted 200 acres on Stewards fork of Richardsons Creek joining Henry Hagot on the Waggon Road in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina. [20]
1777 Thomas Cochran Jr purchased 300 acres of land including the big glade and Calhouns improvement on the waters of 12 mile creek from Jerome and Rachel Miller, dated January 25. Witnessed by James Cochran. [21]
1780 Thomas Coughran Sr was granted 20 acres of land on both sides of Soder branch of Twelve Mile Creek from Alex Martin (for the state of North Carolina), dated March 24. The land was adjacent to James Way and William Houston and other land he owned. [22]
1780 Thomas Coughran was granted 200 acres by the state of North Carolina, dated March 24. The land was on both sides of Jacks branch, a branch of Twelve Mile Creek, starting on the bank of the camp branch. [23]
1811 Moses Cockron was granted 124 acres on Crooked Creek. [24]
1783 A deed naming James Cochran & Mary his wife for 200 acres was reported to the Mecklenburg court, June 1785 session. [25]
1785 The widow of Rob't Cockram renounced executorship of his estate. Letters of administration were issued to William and John Cochran by the Mecklenburg court, September term. [26]
1785 Thomas Cochran Jun was appointed overseer of the road from Phifers to Cambden by the Mecklenburg court, September session. [27]
1785 A court case involving David Orr and James Cochran was registered by the Mecklenburg court, September session. [28]
1786 Thomas Cochran wrote his will in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, dated March 14. The will named wife Sarah and son Thomas. Lands of 150 acres, 65 acres adjoining, and 200 acres on Twelve Mile Creek were listed. Four youngest sons Eleazor, John, William, and Robert (under age 21) were named. A negro wench named Chloe was mentioned. Sons Thomas and James were named. James could inherit clothing "if he comes or sends for them within two years" after Thomas' decease. Daughter Jean, wife of Andrew Rea was named. Wife Sarah, son Eleazor and John McCorkel(?) were named executors. Witnessed by John Osburn, William Huston, and William Dorber. Son Ealez'r Cohren acknowledged receipt of 130 pounds from the will dated July 23, 1791. [29] [30] [31][32] [33] [34]
Son Eleazor's acknowledgement indicates that he would keep track of interest with the executors of the will. This suggests that Eleazor had achieved age 21 by the time of the acknowledgement. The deeds from Thomas Sr dated around 1800 suggest that Thomas Sr was alive at the time of the deeds.
July 23, 1791 This day I acknowledge to have received one hundred and thirty pounds worth N. Carolina currency in land and other property since the sealing of this my Father's last will and do hereby promise and engage to discount with the executors of this my Fathers last will & testament for the Sd sum of one hundred and thirety pounds received by me as aforesaid. In witness my hand Ealez'r Cohren.
1790 There are census records for Thomas Cochran in both Mecklenburg (District 16) and Rutherford Counties, so they were different persons.
1790 There were two listings for Tho' Cochran in Rutherford County, North Carolina. One in a household with 1 males under age 16, 0 males age 16 and over, and 2 females. Another in a household with 1 males under age 16, 1 males age 16 and over, and 5 females. [35] Jas Cochran was listed nearby.

1790 Thomas Cochran Junior lived in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, in a household with 5 males under age 16, 1 males age 16 and over, and 7 females. [39]
1794 The location of the properties of Thomas Cochran of Mecklenburg might be clarified by the appointment of Thomas Tannin as overseer of "the great road called the rocky river Road leading to Camden from Matthew Stewarts to the Camp branch & to Bents bridges over the Crooked Creek …" . [40] Camden is in the South End in Charlotte. Four Mile, Six Mile, and Twelve Mile Creeks are all south of Charlotte. Crooked Creek is south-east of Charlotte. Bent Branch Road is south-east of Charlotte. Thomas Cochran of Mecklenburg owned land at all of these places.
