Deed of Trust to Jacob COCHRAN & Archibald CROCKETT, trustees, for benefit of Nancy BRIDGES, wife of Reubin BRIDGES, Nancy BRIDGES, wife of Reubin BRIDGES. Reg. 27 Feb 1828. "they have mutually agreed to live separate and apart from each other" certain tract of land on which he now lives lying in the county of Gi., on waters of Blue Creek of Richland containing 56 A. and 140 poles. Wit. James Leitch and George DODSON. Reubin (X his mark) BRIDGES. Gi. Co., TN.

(In 1828 Reubin BRIDGES sold this land and the deed said he was of Humphries Co., TN. I presume he and Nancy reconciled and moved to other parts.) Gi. Co., TN Deed Bk G, p 383/5

This deed was so detailed and wordy I could not believe it! It is believed by the compiler and a local descendant of the CROCKETTS of Gi. Co. that there is some family connection due to the fact that we have found the COCHRANs, CROCKETTS, MARTINs and MILLICANs were usually involved in deeds with relatives. Archibald CROCKETT and Jacob COCHRAN were witnesses when Reubin bought this land. Any further information on BRIDGES family will be appreciated.)

(Mrs. Frances Mason, a descendant/researcher, said Jacob was the only child of Jacob and Jemima. We have no explanation of the extra male 0/9 and the female 0/9 in their household in the 1820 census.)

I found this record in Sept. 1959 , in a Bible that my cousin Blanche (Mrs. Fred) Love, whose mother was Janie KERR, was discarding because it was all to pieces and she didn't think her son Walter Wallis Love, of Springfield, would want it. I asked her to let me save the family record. Deaths were recorded first, then marriages, then births. I have re-arranged them.

(End of Bible Record)

(It would appear that James C. COCHRAN is the only child to survive beyond the death of Sarah E., who appears to have been the owner of the bible.)

I came by the information that this record was on file in the Ozarkin Genealogy Quarterly. On 3 January 1988 I called Mrs. Chrisman and asked her if she knew any descendants I might contact. She told me that was about all she knew about the COCHRANs except that some went to Oregon and one had gone to Fort Coffee, AR to teach Indian children.

She also said she knew some of the COCHRANs had gone to Oregon. I have had a little correspondence about 2 years ago with Mr. Robert COCHRANE of Oregon who had written to the Giles Co. Quarterly regarding some of the Laird/EVANS genealogy. Mr. COCHRANE sent me copies of the two letters written by William W. COCHRAN to Charles Woodson COCHRAN, Mr. COCHRANE's ancestor. He said he had gotten the letter copies from Mr. Virgil COCHRAN of Texarkana. I contacted Virgil in early January this year and he was delighted to learn I was interested in the COCHRANs. He is gratefully praised for preserving these documents and sharing them. Without his doing so several connections would have gone unanswered and unproven.

I inquired at our local library and there was a Fort Coffee in LeFlour Co., AR. It was later abandoned and became Fort Coffee Academy. It was established 1834 at Swallow River and abandoned 1838, a school for Choctaw boys. LeFlore Co., OK. is just across the River from AR.

Since Mrs. Chrisman had sent the bible record of John Finley and knew some of the COCHRANs had gone to Oregon, I now wonder if some of John Finley's descendants did not also go to Oregon, since we know some of Charles Woodson's descendants are there?)

(I do not know who this W. COCHRAN is and could be either Charles Woodson COCHRAN or Samuel W. COCHRAN. If it is for Samuel W. COCHRAN it might clarify what the W. stands for and a kinship to other COCHRANs or family connections of some sort. Since Charles W. has died this same year and it is stated in the newspaper clipping that Samuel W. COCHRAN went to AR in 1876, I do not know if this Samuel W. was still in Giles Co. or not. With no 1860 census record of the Giles Co. Samuel and the 1870 Boone Co., AR Samuel, any clues could be mighty helpful.)
