Alexander, William, Jacob, Cochrans of Pennsylvania
into Ohio.
Was the Captain Alexander Cochran of the American
Revolution my ancestor?
Uncertainty about Hugh Cochran of
1700s Maryland but he also named a son Alexander. Yet they may all
connect to Clan Cochran of Europe.
My Alexander and William
were the only two Cochran families in Guernsey Ohio in 1800 and
1810, then their sons began their own legacy of
Cochran.
Family tale is that two went into Canada and never
returned. Some settled in Iowa Territory for many years, then
California, Kansas and Arizona, with descendants in Colorado and
Alabama.
Jacob, the son of William, and grandson of Alexander,
married Clora Jane Miller and had our Frank Delbert Cochran.
Frank married Luella Coonfield and had my father Frankie Lavern
Cochran in 1927. Luella's parents were Lattie Little and Ben
Coonfield.
In 1913 Arkansas a nice blend of genealogy began with
the marriage of Frank and Luella, and once again in 1951 with Frank
and Anne. Anne Carter's parents were Alice McClain and Cecil
Carter. Anne was orphaned at age 4 and raised by the
parents of Alice, Lorena Emma Bozeman and Charles Allen
McClain in Ramer.
1972 with the marriage of Charles and
Kathy, the surnames in the family tree doubled, and their daughter's
marriage with Westbrook increases the number of Grandparents to baby
"Carter".
Carter has a strong ancestry, full of faith and
patriotism, honest, hard working individuals who have created a
loving legacy for him to continue.

white blood for you to question my honesty!"Will

Alabama, it is quite possible we are mixed.

McClain ancestry (60 KB) notes from
the LDS site, Rootsweb, and census records
Frankie was honest, hard working and faithful, grew up on a
farm, some education until he joined the Air Force. Baptised in a
creek in Chetopa Kansas and read his Bible every day. His word was
law and his friends knew that he always had a place at the dinner
table for them or an extra chair by the fish pond.
He served
in Korea as a copilot of a bomber plane and was wounded and sent
back to Maxwell AFB in Alabama where he then told his brother
Freelon that it was too hot for him to go there and Freelon went to
Korea anyway and died in a truck incident.
Several in my
family have had special gifts, the gift of knowing and seeing, the
gift of healing or the ability to stop bleeding. Dad had several
true premonitions and the night before he passed away, he held me in
his arms saying I love you more than you will ever know and he was
gone on that Christmas morning.
His sister Irma was born with
a veil over her face. His aunt heard ticking in the wall before a
loved one died. His granny Clora smoked a pipe and could read the
ashes. He witnessed many healings by my mom's granny and he was very
close to her. Most made their own medicines. He spoke of his mother
spending hours in the field gathering herbs.
He found peace
at the fish pond, that is where he could be found on the weekends
and I feel now that he is at peace with his elders and loved ones
while guiding me along this journey of love.
Named after my great grandmother Lorena Bozeman McClain who was
born in 1890 Ramer, Montgomery, Alabama, I have thoroughly enjoyed
writing about this great lady and her heritage. After my
parents passed away and my husband died of cancer, I began to write
about them and their family trees when I was unable to
sleep. Our families have traveled many miles and intertwined
in the same communities, some knowing each other, many moons ago.

Charles
Brooks (89 KB) Lineage
Kathy
Brooks (417 KB) Lineage
Charles Brooks had dozens and dozens of
ancestors migrating into Alabama in the early 1800s. Joseph Baxley
born 1815 Georgia or possibly as some speculate, in SC., married
Mary Evans and named a son James H. - the tombstone of James has the
middle name as Hardie. James served in the Civil War and married
Louisa Miranda Holt and resided in "Holtville". Their daughter Ella
Olivia Baxley married L. W. Hood and had Bessie Mae Hood who married
Milton Elijah Thornton. Elijah's parents were Mary Angeline
Partridge, an indian, and George Thornton, a mixed blood from
Georgia, who had settled in Central, Elmore County, Alabama.
Elijah's daughter, Mary Ella Thornton married James Edgar Brooks Jr.
Parents of James were Susie Mae Cooper and James E Brooks Sr. James
and Susie are listed on the 1930 census with both their widowed
mothers. Susie's ancestors were in Chambers County about 1830:
Andrew Cooper and "Alsey" from SC living near Malinda Phillips and
Elijah Lee born 1777 SC. Their children Sarah F. Lee married Charner
P. Cooper, a soldier from the Civil War, and had a son named Levi
who moved to Hope Hull working on a farm owned by Thomas Randolph
Carter, where he fell in love with the daughter, Sarah Elizabeth
Carter. Parents of Thomas were "Mary" and John Wise Carter of SC who
had migrated to Talledega. Thomas is buried in Hope Hull on his old
plantation by his first wife Lacy Jane Bozeman. Her name was Lucy on
census but Lacy on her tombstone. Thomas served in the Civil War and
his grandfather Captain John Carter served in the American
Revolution, along with his own father in law, John Wise of South
Carolina.
The second wife of Thomas Carter was Mary Josephine
Hereferd of Virginia and she was the mother of Sarah Elizabeth
Carter.
Mary was not very happy with this marriage and had
only the one child. She buried Thomas by his first wife. Some of
Mary's family settled in Alabama and some moved on to Texas. Mary's
mother was Jemima Ramsey of Virginia.
Parents of James Brooks
were Annie Ballard and John Brooks of Tennesse and they are all
buried at Greenwood Cemetery in Montgomery Alabama. John was a
railroad man, born to Roxanna Permilia Smith of TN and a John Brooks
born 1837 Pennsylvania.
John 1837 died of tuberculosis in
Texas. Parents of Roxanna were Caroline Bond and Thomas Smith.
Parents of Annie Ballard were Dora Craig and James Ballard of TN.
Some of these families migrated into Tennessee about 1800 from the
Carolinas living amongst the Cherokee Indians and Chickasaw so they
could have been mixed blood. Annie's picture shows she was a dark
lady with black eyes and black hair and so was her husband's
features very dark but I would suspect his from the Smith side of
the family.
Charles Brooks wed Kathy Cochran in Montgomery
Alabama. She was at least one eighth Cherokee blood. Her parents
were Anne Carter and Frank Cochran. Anne's parents were Alice Emily
McClain and Cecil Earl Fenn Carter. Emily was called Emma,Ellie, and
Emmer by her parents Lorena Bozeman and Charles McClain Lorena's
parents were Alice Lorena Stephens and John Thomas Bozeman.
Charlie's parents were Elizabeth Broadway and Josiah Marion
McClain.
The father of John Bozeman was Peter Edward Bozeman,
a Civil War Soldier who married Nancy Jane Anderson, and her father
was Seaborn Montgomery Anderson, another Civil War soldier. Seaborn
had married Lavinia Jane Sellers.
Cecil Carter's parents were
Anna Lou Stone and William Franklin Fenn. Frank was born in Tuskegee
to Emeline Harrell and John Fenn a Civil War soldier of Georgia.
Anna's parents were Mary Ann Hendrick and Augustus Marvin Stone of
Georgia. Anna divorced Frank Fenn about 1901/1902 and remarried to a
Carter, then to a Dasher, as found in Georgia census
records.

Certificate - his daughter Alice married Cecil Earl Fenn Carter, the

Charlie was 1886 and all other records seem to differ because his
wife was not very educated.

Many roots and branches needing attention
some
branches have famous Indian Chiefs some registered in Indian
Nation some were rejected
many of the historial indian
names that others are researching managed to be in our family
tree yet not in my direct line.
actually this family tree
became a kudzoo vine with over 17,000 members
my direct
line said NO WAY to the Trail of Tears and became "white" thinking
they would be free
This page is actually the entry to the
rest of our research. Genforum failed to send me the sign in
name and password for the old webpage, after repeated
requests and when you toss your cookies, you can't get back
in, so here we go <giggles>
We are Native American,
speak English, and never lived in a teepee :)
We grew up
with truth and honor. Respect for all creations. A passion for
art and music runs strong in our family.
As a young child
in Montgomery,I played with the kids next door who were full
blood Indian; the Jackson family got along so well with mine and
our mothers had a lot in common with their recipes, hobbies and
customs.
In Arizona many spoke spanish; I remember a huge
Catholic church where we all went for vaccinations but best of all
were the outdoor festivals held there.
I love working on
our family tree but unable to travel to the many places required
to get more facts, so I add my little collection of old
photos, notes, and stories so enjoy !
Much love and
appreciation to my wonderful aunts and cousins working on this line.
One of my new online cousins turned out to be my best friend from
high school and our paths crossed as we both researched our
grannies; such fond memories of a truly wonderful friend, Linda
McClanahan of Forest Hills.

Passengers
Father always called Mother his little Indian Squaw and she
loved it. They were a very proud Indian couple yet never knew the
language or customs known to those on Indian Reservations. Our
families grew up with grandparents who had a tonic or poltice for
their ailments and grew their crops to feed their families - mother
nature took good care of them. They traveled our great nation
seeking answers that were never found. We lived among other Indian
families...Mother was Cherokee, possibly half blood; Father was both
Cherokee and another tribe, possibly Creek, or Shawnee, since
his mom stated they were from two different tribes. =Mother's
line has many women with first names only, which could also be a
clue that there may be other Indian tribes involved in this family
tree. I find it so strange that the men are well known, even their
middle names, while nothing is known about their brides. Yes it
would seem that the well known, well to do, McClains and Bozemans
would at least remember a granny's last name. There are several
McClains, Moons, Cochrans, Littles on the Indian Rolls registered
in Oklahoma, but it is so very hard to locate a connection. Was
John McClain a son of our Charles and Cherokee or was it his wife
who had Indian Blood? We have so much work to do ! The census
records are all black and white, Indians were mostly put down as
colored. Even the 1850 census records show race only as B W or C.
Indians lost their lands and they lost their rights to be treated
humanely. Some were dragged from their homes and forced to move to
Oklahoma Indian Territory and many did not survive the
trip...Perhaps my ancestors died on the Trail of Tears, yet they
might have hidden until it was safe to come out and claim to be
white, so they would be treated as equals. Those who hid might have
become the Over Hill Cherokee Tribe. Others moved into Kentucky or
Tennessee, intermarried, learned a trade or fought in the Civil War.
They took on famous white names so nobody would suspect they were
Indian.Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, Missouri, Illinois and even Texas
and Arkansas became a safe haven to many tribes...Of course Kentucky
became a state after actually being a part of Virginia; Tennessee
was actually a part of North Carolina. We have the locations and the
time periods yet we have no documentation to prove our Indian
Blood. The Indians became invisible. They had no choice! One
ancestor suffered a house fire that destroyed any documents and
photos that might connect to our past. He was Annie Stone Fenn's
oldest son. We are finding more connections to Virginia, North
Carolina and South Carolina before the Trail of Tears began and know
that many were intermarried with these tribes, before they moved
into Georgia or Kentucky and onward.Some came out of New York Indian
Country, Rhode Island and Massachusetts, removing to Ohio and on
westward mingling with other tribes, and starting a new life. My
John Wright Little left Kentucky and claimed to be white when he got
to Arkansas so that he could find good work and own land. His line
goes to Charles Weatherford of Virginia which could be the same
father of Chief Red Eagle. Great Grandpa Charlie McClain had many
visions of his elders, but of course some thought he was simply
crazy. His wife, Lorena Bozeman was a healer and could stop
bleeding, people still remember her faithful help in Ramer...Anne
Carter also had her visions and her husband Frank Cochran had
amazing premonitions, not simply intuition, but the true feeling of
happenings in the family, that led him home in urgency. His sister
was born with a veil over her face which the doctor removed twice
and it still came back ! The third time, her mother, Luella
Coonfield Cochran, took the veil and placed it in the family Bible
that once belonged to her mother Lattie and it still remains. The
veil is usually a gift to a seer. In my dreams, I heard mother's
voice saying Sleepy Cloud and I am still trying to learn what she
meant.

- Thank
You For Visiting!
Many of our ancestors have at some point in their journeys,
spent time residing in Alabama. They crossed the Atlantic and
ventured south for many reasons and on through the
midwest.
Many of them married young Native Americans and that
is one fact which is very difficult to prove since it was rarely
ever acknowledged on census records. Then the census officials often
could not spell names correctly! Everyone was black or white in the
1800s and mostly whites were allowed to purchase our land and profit
from it. Now we have to prove a direct blood line to our Indian
families or the government will not recognize us as Native
Americans. Can you find any other race asked to prove
themselves?
If you take a moment to think about it, we ALL
probably have Indian blood in our family tree.
It's no big
deal and nothing to hide, but certainly something we can be very
proud of because the Indian were a very proud people who cherished
this country and all their Creator provided within it. They prayed
daily to the Creator and had high respect for everyone in their
peaceful land.
Clues are found in several areas, yet we
continue to search for the true answer to our past. Listen to the
stories of your Elders and look around for clues.
Tracing our
roots can be very time consuming, and extremely addictive: each day
we find a new name to add to the list of cousins. Each day we
find a new story to share and possibly a shocking fact!
Many
of the branches in my family tree lead to another Indian Chief and I
am still looking for the Indian Princess in my direct blood
line.
Our Little family has been researching a link to the
sister of Pocahontas, named Cleopatra, while some researchers say
there is no documentation proving she ever existed, they cannot
prove she didn't.
One great grandmother married at the age of
12 and had six children by the age of 19, according to the census
records but I do believe they have her age posted incorrectly. I am
still anxious to know about her life, but she vanished about 1900
and hopefully to a better life! Her family may have been laborers on
the Fenn Plantation in Eufaula, and we certainly read where Indians
worked the farm. They shared every day together and intermarried.
Some of the slaves on that plantation adopted the last name of
FENN.
My mother grew up as white but learned very early
in her childhood that she was different. She was taught to run
hide whenever the KKK came down the road. Her uncle was told to
sit in the back of the bus during the days of prejudice.
Now
I search for the answers Mom was seeking - who gave her this
Cherokee heritage.
Names I am now searching are:
Clora Jane Miller Cochran, Lottie Sadonia Little, Luella Coonfield,
Peter Edward Bozeman (Bosman), Josiah Marion McClain (McLain), Annie
Lee Stone Fenn Carter, William Frank Fenn, Cecil Earl Carter, John
Fann and Emeline Harrel, Nancy Jane Anderson, Sara Mills with Joseph
Stephens, Mordicai Bozeman of 1700, Martha Young Coonfield, Mary
Epperson Coonfield, Barsheba Clark Coonfield, and several Moons as
well.
We all connect thru our old ones and find we are all
cousins!

Working with family stories of the old days, tales
of medicine women, and their beloved soldiers of the many wars in
our country, I may not be able to prove or officially
document our Native American ancestry, yet knowing it is in my
heart and in my spirit, is all that is really important.
The
stories consist of one great granny, Lorena, who was a well
known healer in Dublin, Alabama; one who could read the ashes after
smoking her pipe; one aunt born with a veil over her face ( which
was removed three times) which was the sign of a seer. The amazing
intuition of my father, who left work immediately when it thundered,
knowing that his baby was about to be born, and yes, I was born that
day, in Broken Arrow, Tulsa, Oklahoma.
Then we are told of Mr
Ward, working in his field, as a strong thunderstorm approached,
he slammed his axe into the ground, and the skies
cleared.
Our families pass on many interesting stories but
they all spoke the English language, yet practiced good survival
skills.
I would love to learn more about their culture
and language, and teach our children to respect these and the ways
of our elders. Yet we have the stories to pass on and the love,
truth and respect that were taught to me.
When Indians
learned about Christianity, they welcomed new knowledge of GOD and
the afterlife with their elders. They were in awe, learning of
Jesus, and of course we were told the Mormons believe that Jesus
appeared to the Old America, so perhaps this faith was quite
welcomed by most the tribes when the Europeans arrived.
So
when they were Baptized, many were given new names to use and they
are almost impossible to trace now. Some Indians changed their name
more than once during their lifetime.
Our Stephens line in
1760 married an unknown full blood Cherokee woman in NC and gave her
a Biblical Name.
Due to Indian unrest and the Trail of Tears,
many Eastern Band Cherokee fled south or up into the mountains
(OverHill) to escape the laws and disease of the white man. Our
family believes that Charles Weatherford "may" have fathered our
Kitty Weatherford in Virgina before moving to Alabama and fathering
Chief Red Eagle. We also might connect our Cochran, Little, Wright
lines to Cleopatra, sister of Pocahontas. Many of this line came
from South Carolina and Virginia into Tennesee and Kentucky before
moving to the Midwest.
Mother's line in Virginia, North
Carolina, South Carolina came into Alabama for quite some time
before some moved west. (Moon, McClain, Bozeman,Anderson,
Stephens)
Census takers were very prejudiced and would not
recognize Indians owning property so they put most down as blacks or
mulatto - in some cases the Indian feared the government finding
them so they called them selves blacks or whites.
After the
Trail of Tears, they believed that no Indians existed in other
areas, so no Indians appeared on census records, and had to be found
on the Indian Nation Rolls in Oklahoma.
Thus we hope to find
our ancestors registered on the Indian Rolls, somehow, but it sure
seems to be an endless journey.

HOOD /
THORNTON to the BROOKS FAMILY
Tom Carter's father was John Wise Carter of South Carolina and
nothing is known of his mother. John's father, Captain John Carter,
served in the American Revolution with a John Wise. The daughter of
John Wise was Elizabeth and she married Captain John Carter in South
Carolina. Captain John may have had a brother named Captain Thomas,
explaining how he named his own son Thomas Carter.
It is
unknown why Tom left his family in Talladega and moved into
Montgomery. He was buying land off the Bozeman Estate to make a home
for his own family.
Tom lost his first wife and several
children in the small pox epidemic, some say the flu epidemic. Only
two children survived, Lucy Carter Calloway and William Henry
Carter. Military records indicate that Tom was sick in a Virginia
hospital at one point and ironically married his second wife, Mary,
from Virginia. Perhaps they had met in Virginia and she followed
him, their story is unknown.
Mary had only one child, Sarah,
and wanted no more with Tom. When he died she buried him by his
first family and she moved in with her daughter.
Mary may or
may not have filed for his military pension, thus far, a record is
not found. Name: THOMAS Carter Date: 01 09 1860 Location:

Background
(262 KB)
Our Great Grandmother married three times. Two of
her children Carrie and Cecil Earl were called "half" siblings by
the other children, but they were all born while Anna was with
Fenn....go figure.
Had six children with William Franklin Fenn during her seven
years of marriage. She left him in Barbour County Alabama with the
children, taking only the baby and moved to join her family of Stone
in Macon City, Bibb, Georgia. There she remarried and gave the baby
the name of Carter. Little baby Carter told his family that his
grandfather was a full blood Cherokee Chief. Of course young Carter
was a tall handsome dark man like his siblings, but he did drink too
much, so the chief part may or may not have been fantasy. The Fenn
boys were tall, over 6' and very dark.
The Carters, Stones,
Fenns were all in 1700s Georgia in Creek Indian Lands. Elijah Fenn
was the son of Travis and "Mary" and the grandson of Zachariah Fann
- Elijah married Martha Rich, daughter of Stephen and "Abiah" Rich.
Elijah's son John married Emeline Harrell and Elijah's daughter
Letitia married Thomas Rich.
Emeline named a son William
Franklin Fenn in 1855. His wife Anna was called Annie. Annie's
parents were Mary Ann Hendrick and Augustus Marvin Stone. Parents of
Augustus were Sarah Davies and Benjamin Wilburn Stone. Ben was the
son of Mary Polly Wells and Michael Stone who lived in Captain John
Stones District of Putnam County Georgia. Parents of Mary Ann were
Mary Ann Winters and C C Hendrick. Winters' parents were Amelia Lyle
and Albert Winters, who married in 1816 Jackson County Georgia which
was then Cherokee Nation East. During this era it was quite common
to marry a native american and give them a Christian name.
Anna Lou's baby was named Cecil Earl and he is only found in
Texas census records for 1920 and 1930 during his military service
first at San Antonio and then at Fort Bliss in El Paso. On the 1900
census Anna's son Robert is not listed so she may have been pregnant
at the time and she may have also raised him but I have been unable
to locate her on a census after she married or lived with Mr. Carter
- she was very young and may have had more children with Carter.
There are some possibilites with the census records but the woman is
listed as black and widowed - then there is one Arnie Carter which
could be Annie in Macon GA and she is alone, a laundress. Even so,
in 1910 and 1920 there is no Robert listed as her son and the family
knew him personally and he did exist and I found his tombstone by
his brother Frank Jr. Then her son Arthur is not found after 1910
even though family says he married, had children, and died in his
20s.

Our great grandfather Charlie McClain's father came out
of Georgia during the Civil War leaving behind a wife and children,
who eventually filed divorce. The McClains originally were
from Virginia, migrating into South Carolina, with the marriage of a
Charles McClain to Elizabeth Moon around 1760 and she gave him
several sons who migrated into Georgia long before the Trail of
Tears.
Mars Hill Cemetery in Cobb County GA
connects to
Josiah McClain of South Carolina who's father was Charles McClain
who might have been in the American Revolution; Charles had married
Elizabeth MOON in Virginia around 1780 and then migrated into the
Carolinas where their children were born.
Josiah was born in
1788 SC and found on census in Georgia. The name on his headstone is
JOSAH
Josiah had James in 1810, John Milton, William Smith,
etc. Josiah also had Charles Pinkney McLain in 1818
SC
They all had many children.
James named his son
Josiah Marion McClain born 1838 who became my great grandfather thru
his own son Charles Allen McClain.

Thanks for visiting I am researching many of my grandparents.
Hans Brooks of Holland and his son John Brooks born 1837 in
Pennsylvania. John Baptist Bond, Caroline Bond and Thomas Smith,
grandson of John Smith, Annie Clark Ballard, granddaughter of Larkin
Francis Ballard, Rowena Densy Baxter, Peter Bozeman of the American
Revolution, his son William Henry to Peter Edward, Elisha Anderson
to Seaborn Montgomery Anderson, Lavinia Brack, Hester Doty, William
Sellers, Charles McClain and Josiah, Gideon Moon, Elijah Lee, Andrew
Cooper, Frank Cochran, Isaac Coonfield, Captain George Little of
Scotland, Christopher Coonfield of Holland, Alexander Cochran of
Scotland, Abraham Crigler, Lydia Carpenter, Polly Duval, Jesse
Simmons, Kitty Stone, Hester Ward, James Young, Charles and
Catherine Weatherford of Virginia, John C. Wright, John Wright
Little, Reason Roby, John Fann of England, Zachariah Fenn, Anna Lou
Stone, Frank Fenn, Augustus Marvin Stone, Mary Angeline Partridge
and George Thornton, Milton Elijah Thornton, Bessie Mae Hood and
Ella Olivia Baxley, and many more.
Most believe the Boseman or Bozeman families came from Holland
and this we may never know. Edword Bozeman was found in the 1790
census of Baltimore, Maryland; John in Talbot, MD; Lawrence Bouseman
in Baltimore. Some served in the American Revolution and received a
pension along with grants of land, for instance, the South Carolina
Archives lists some as Gabriel, John, Paul, Jesse, Ralph, James,
Mordecai and probably more with different spellings of our last
name. Of course it would be nice to learn more about Mordecai even
his middle name and if he was the son of Samuel Edward Bozeman and
Mary White, after all, her brother was named Mordecai and the name
Edward has continued over many centuries.
So many names were
Biblical yet then we find another set of Bozemans named Ralph, Fred,
George, and Lewis. Names were so very special, most often, after
another dearly loved family member.
These families were
farmers and many had well educated, successful careers, mostly
throughout the South, as they explored each new territory as it
became available.
Reverend Bozeman did a marvelous job
writing his "Sketches of the Bozeman Family" in 1885 and a couple of
pages were scanned to share indicating the whereabouts of Mordecai.
He does not say anything about Mordecai being a fatality of the
Revolution so we can only assume that he died later from natural
causes, and hopefully that information will come to light soon.
The 1810 census of Darlington SC shows only four Bosemans,
John, James, Peter and Chapman. 1800 shows a Thomas living in
Somerset NC. The name Thomas is carried on through the next century.
* From 1798 to 1819, a steady influx of Europeans into
Alabama settled on land formerly occupied by several Native American
tribes. Alabama became a part of the Mississippi Territory in 1798
after Indian cessions in north Alabama. Migration increased after
the end of the Creek War in 1814. In 1817, the Alabama Territory was
created, and Alabama became the 22nd in December 1819. PETER BOZEMAN
was in Alabama on the 1830 census.
