1944 J.A. Cochran obituary.
Arizona Republic, Phoenix, Arizona, December 13, 1944. [25]
Research Notes:
Robert Wolfe has DNA matches with descendants of Joseph A Cochran (1859-1944). Several of these matches also match with other descendants of Nancy Cochran and Isaiah Pickett (Robert's ancestors). These notes are to help identify possible ancestors of Joseph A Cochran and a possible relationship to Nancy Cochran. We suspect that Joseph A Cochran was a son of John F Cochran and Susan Graham. The 1860 and 1870 census listings suggest that Joseph had a sister Mary Catherine, born about 1857.
1850 John F Cochran (age 28, born in North Carolina) lived in Intercourse, Sumter County, Alabama, in a household with Hillard J Fincher (age 29), Ruth L Fincher (age 29), Hirans P Fincher (age 8), Elizah Fincher (age 4), Nancy C Fincher (age 4), Eleanor Heard (age 40), and John Clementina Knox (age 10). John F Cochran was a farmer. [1]
1850 John F Cockran of Intercourse, Sumter, Alabama, USA owned two enslaved male persons, age 28 and age 2 months. [2]
Members of the Graham family lived with Joseph Cochran age 1 in 1860 and age 10 in 1870 and with John F Cochran age 40 in 1860. Joseph Cochran was perhaps a son of John F Cochran and Susan B Graham. Perhaps this was Joseph A Cochran, father of Charles B Cochran. These documents report ambiguity about the birthplace of Joseph Cochran: perhaps Georgia (see 1860 census) or perhaps Alabama (see 1870 census), as does his obituary.
1850 Joseph Graham (age 50, born in South Carolina) lived in Intercourse, Sumter County, Alabama, in a household with Catharine Graham (age 50), John Graham (age 22), Juliett A Graham (age 16), Seanna Graham (age 14, female, could this be Susanna B Graham?), Joseph Graham (age 13), Daniel D Graham (age 10), and John Lee Graham (age 12). Joseph Graham was a farmer. [3]

[9]
1870 Eunice H Graham, married, died on March 1, at age 36, in Healing Springs, Independence County, Arkansas. She died of Pneumonia. She was born in Alabama. [10] Perhaps she was the spouse of John B Graham (see marriage of 1851).
1870 Joseph Cockran (age 11, born in Alabama) lived in Black Bluff, Sumter County, Alabama, in a household with Joseph Graham (age 70), Sarah Graham (age 35), Joseph A Graham (age 32), Malissa Graham (age 23), Margaret Graham (age 58), Catherine Cockran (age 13), and Catherine E Cockran (age 8/12).
