Eleazor Cockran of Graves County, Kentucky was born in 1885 according to the 1850 census. Eleazor, named in the 1786 will of ThomasCochran in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina was likely born before 1770.

Son Ealez'r Cohren acknowledged receipt of 130 pounds from the will dated July 23, 1791. [1] [2] [3][4] [5] [6]
