The Cochran and Coonfield lineage of the midwest.
Alexander Cochran
raised his family in Pennsylvania and soon settled into
Ohio, possibly Quakers, with several sons joining the Civil War and even
living in California during the Gold Rush. Later these young
men moved to Iowa to farm the new land, and after several years, Jacob
Benjamin Cochran moved to Kansas with second
wife Clora Jane Miller,
a daughter of Mary Clara Parker.
Family lore is that Mary shared medicine with the
indians and research shows that her
ancestors were in the 1600s and 1700s New York Indian Country as well
as Mass and Rhode Island, with
one cousin, Joshua Tefft was killed by King
Phillip. One Mr Sweete was
banned from England as a Catholic Priest and lived
in exile in France.
As far as documenting the Cochran lineage, I have none
beyond Jacob to prove the names of his parents or grandparents.
Locating a census record or a will or more would help
to prove this lineage. Perhaps Jacob told his children about his
parents but reading the census records, I can safely say there were
dozens of Williams, Alexanders, and Jacob Cochrans in Pennsylvania and Ohio and even those who migrated to Iowa Territory.
Apparently William Cochran married Martha Henderson in Ohio
and had Jacob.
Fortunately for many other lineages, those before us have
done a lot of research that I can go back and verify for myself leaving
reason to believe most of what I can see.
Isaac and Barsheba Clark Coonfield spent many years in
early Kentucky and then moved to Indiana with their grown children. She was
found widowed on the 1830 census. Her son Isaac Benjamin Coonfield moved his
family to Arkansas. This family is mentioned in the book of the Early History of Morgan County Indiana.
Benjamin Wallace Coonfield married Lattie Cedonia Little
and they had Amy, Ruth and Luella Coonfield. Amy married Joe Gray and I
had corresponded with their daughter Verna, who
forwarded copies of her late sister's research ( Dorline Gray ) who was
trying to connect this lineage to Chief Powhatan.
Dorline had also been corresponding with our cousin
Martha in Arizona, who also shared a great amount of research with me
regarding L P Little. L P Little had a great way of leaving a trail
of his elders by giving each child a middle name of one of his ancestors and I am honoring him and his work by writing about him on the
Kentucky webpage.
Arkansas land records indicate that Isaac Coonfield bought
land in 1856.
Hiram Lucius Little, son of Betsy
Douglas and Jonas Little, had
lost his wife, Catherine Wright, in Kentucky and moved to Texas.
His son John Little served in the Civil War as a blacksmith, married, had
several children, lost his wife and then moved his
family into Arkansas. Our grandma Betsy was found widowed and living with
her daughter Betsy Roberts on the 1850 census.
Hiram Little married Rebecca Isabella Adams in Bosque
County Texas and had more children including a Hiram jr. Most are
buried at the Meridian Cemetery. Hiram's headstone refers to him as a
doctor and a mason.
Apparently some of the brothers of grandpa Jonas had
already removed to Texas by 1800 and our Hiram had joined them. Our
Texas migration needs further study.
Betsy Douglass Little had another son named Douglass Little
who married Martha Ann Wright, his sister in law. Martha named her first son, Powhatan and he was a lawyer, and a judge, who was a
great writer and did a lot of research on his lineage; as did his
daughter, Laura Simmons Little. They traced Mary Handley to parents Martha Mason and George Handley
of Ireland, noting that Mary was born asea, on the trip over. Mary's
brother was Captain John Handley. Their notes also chart a Thomas
Jones settling in the 1600s on James River in Bermuda Hundred, Henrico
County, Virginia and wrote about a Polly Jones who may
have been the wife or companion of Charles Weatherford.
Mother of the Wright sisters was Catherine Weatherford, a daughter of Charles Weatherford in Charlotte VA. Alabama land records
indicate land sold to Charles in 1841 if this is his grandson by Red Eagle. So
far records only indicate one Charles Weatherford born in this time period and it is quite possible that he had
more than one wife than history would like for us to believe
and if he was indian trader, he probably had many children that have not been
noted. History also indicates that the father
of Red Eagle was from Scotland, and a his grandson on the creek indian mailing
list says that Charles fathered many children with many women and then went back to Scotland but we may never
know the facts. Some family trees indicate that Charles
was the son of Martin Weatherford and an indian woman called Mary in Charlotte
Virginia who migrated to Georgia and I
did find documentation in the Georgia Archives onlne that show Martin was a
wealthy planter and it mentions nothing at all about
Scotland. Martin was a loyalist, very outspoken and the state of Ga banned
him so he moved his family to the Bahamas and more documentation is found to prove that.
Parents of Betsy were Mary Handley
and Alexander Douglass who were married in PA. MMary's
brother Captain John Handley became
a surveyor like Daniel Boone and on one trip to the new land in Kentucky, before
1800, his brother in law, Alexander Douglass went with him and never returned. Alexander was murdered
by indians on his way back home. His wife took her girls
and moved into a scottish settlement in South Carolina, where her daughter
married Jonas little. Later the father of Jonas, George Little,
married his son's mother in law. Both had become widowed but they had no
children together that we know of.
Ironically there was an older Jonas Little in South
Carolina, who's descendants moved southward and into Alabama and we can
only suspect there may be some connection to George. The 1790 census of
Newberry, Union, South Carolina shows George
with a housefull of children but it also shows others around his home named
Jonas, Joseph, William and John who could
also be his Scottish siblings. Some of those came through Alabama and
Texas but it is hard to configure.
Abraham's parents were Lydia
Carpenter and Owen Crigler. Catherine's parents were Kitty Simmons and Reason Roby.
These families left Virginia to settle in the new land of
Kentucky about 1800 among friendly indians who were also migrating westward.
John and Mary were beautiful, dark complected, had black
eyes and black hair and they had Cherokee blood.
The Battle of Alamo lists a soldier named Hiram
Little and there is a possible connection to our lineage as some
of the decendants are found in Texas census records. and one
receiving a land grant in Texas.
Descendant of all of these was Frankie Lavern Cochran
born 1927.and Kathy Cochran who was born in Broken Arrow, Tulsa,
Oklahoma later moved to Montgomery Alabama after spendng a few years in Arizona.
Frankie had dark hair and blue eyes
like his father and his younger pictures resemble his father, but as Frankie
aged, he resembled his grandpa Coonfield very much. Pictures of Catherine Crigler and then those of the
Coonfield women show us they all had long dark hair in braids and dark
eyes. Luella Coonfield and her mother in law Clora Jane both smoked pipes.
The pipes are in the possession of cousin Stanley.
Aunt Irma talked of granny Clora Jane Miller Cochran being
a sweet old lady who stayed with them for a while when grandpa Jacob
died. Clora stayed with each of her children, taking turns, as she had no
place to go. She taught them about corn and how to
pop it. She mysteriously read the ashes of her pipe. Aunt Irma was
the child born with a veil over her face. The doctor removed
the veil twice as it seemed to grow back and on the third veil, her mother
Luella took it and placed it in the Bible where it still exists to this day.
.
Annie Carter as a
baby being held by her Uncle Walton
McClain shows us how very dark the McClain
boys were just like their father
with black eyes and black hair so it is
quite possible that the McClain lineage was of indian
blood. Annie 's school
picture shows
that she had long straight black hair and
black eyes, even though she had it curled up in this photo
of her in 1953 pregnant with Kathy in Tulsa OK.
Looking at Annie's grandmother, Lorena Bozeman's lineage, I
wondered repeatedly about her father's name, John Thomas Bozeman, and how it may have originated. His great
grandfather Peter married a widow, Sarah Brown and she named her
first son Meade so that may have been her maiden name; then
a son was named William Henry and that could have been her father's name; so looking back at the 1790 census of South
Carolina, I do find a William Meade and a Thomas Meade so this
may be another clue in our mystery of names. We know that William
Henry Bozeman might have been the first to name a son John Thomas Bozeman and wonder where the name Thomas came into
play.
Digging through mom's letters and cards, I found an
article from the newspaper of 1956 that listed Lorena McClain having
surgery at Maxwell AFB hospital and later found that grandpa McClain had
served in WWI. The article also listed Anne Cochran
and family were relocating to Mesa Arizona and it listed her cousin James Duncan
was going to San Antonio. These were
found in Anne's old blue diaper bag that she used in Mesa AZ and brought back
with her to Montgomery Alabama.
Arizana is a small memory in my mind. We had a lot of
burritos and enchildas that mom cooked, took pictures in the desert and
grand canyon, went swimming in the Verde River, Coonsbluff, and drove thru
well lighted mountain tunnels. Most of our friends
and neighbors were indian or mexican and we spoke a little spanish that I have
long since forgotten. My cousin Frankie Haraughty was a daily playmate since his mom Eunice Cochran lived
nearby. We played with, horned toads , strange bugs and
creatures of the land and watched the daily irrigation of the fields when our
front ditches filled with water every afternoon at 4.
Frankie's brother Frances was called Chigger by my dad. Chigger was the
one making home movies of us back then.
One of Lorena Bozeman 's distant cousins married a Jordan
which is a line leading directly to Pocahontas and some of the Jordans
settled in Elmore County. Lorena's uncle Peter Bozeman married a Dillard
and that line also connects to Pocahontas.
Cousin Elizabeth helped with the Bozeman lineage as her
grandmother Ethel was the sister of my great granny Lorena. Ruby Gibson
told me that Charles McClain and Jason Gibson were cousins and we connected
their mothers as Broadway children of Abner Broadway and I verified through census records. One of the
Gibsons had marched in Governor Wallace's inaugural parade.
Ruby also told me that my grandfather Cecil Carter was still in the
military when he married my granny Alice McClain but I
have not been able to verify.
We do not know if there were any suvivors benefits for
Cecil's children as Lorena Bozeman McClain raised them but do know the
McClains left Ramer and lived on Highland Avenue for a while. Cecil's
adoption records have not been found, but his children knew of his Fenn family and I have contacted some of the Fenn
relatives.
Cousin Martha Fenn had only a few blurred pictures of
Cecils' siblings and told me where Uncle Frank and Uncle Robert were
buried in Coosada, Elmore County, AL.
Her brother, my cousin Bob Fenn, talked about his family on
the farm there is Coosada.
I found another cousin, Nancy Fenn, in Montgomery, who
connects to the Mathew Fenn who owned the plantation in Eufaula.
Our great grandfather William Frank Fenn had married Anna
Lou Stone and his great grandfather Michael Stone came to Alabama
from Maryland. There is a Banister Stone in my McClain / Moon family of
South Carolina but I have not made any connection; then my husband's lineage in Tennessee has a Catherine
Stone of the Carolinas who married John Baptist Bond.
Michael Stone had married Polly Wells in Putnam, Georgia
and they are found on a census living in a Captain John Stone's District. Their son Benjamin Wilburne Stone married Sarah
Davies and had Augustus Marvin Stone. Augustus married Mary Ann
Hendrick, a daughter of Mary Ann Winters and John Hendrick. The 1850
census of Macon County Alabama shows us Michael
living next to son William and son Benjamin with their children's names
listed.
Anna's brother was Arthur Augustus Stone and his son was
William Arthur Stone, known as Tige to the St Louis Cardinals of 1923.
The obituary of grandpa Cecil lists a Walter Stone as a
pallbearer. His death certificate is signed by his brother Emmett Fenn.
Cecil is buried at Memorial Cemetery in Montgomery and Emmett is
buried at Greenwood by their father. Their father's brother Madison is buried by them without a headstone. Madison was
known as Uncle Mat. Uncle Mat had married and moved to Texas
and never had any children, but came back to Montgomery after his wife died.
Mat's brother Thomas had
also gone to Texas.
After taking pictures of their headstones at Greenwood,
getting close to the exit I discovered the Bozeman family plot, with
Nancy Jane Anderson Bozeman buried by her sons Robert and Meady and their
families.
My husband's great grandparents Annie Clark Ballard and
John Brooks of Tennessee are also buried at Greenwood by Susie Mae
Cooper brooks. I would love to learn more about those TN families who had
migrated from the Carolinas, during a time of indian
removal . Indian Wars also caused many friendly indians to move
westward..Annie Ballard was a beautiful dark featured lady
who only had one child. Mary
Josephine Hereford was from Virginina and her family all
moved into Alabama and she wa also
another beautiful dark featured lady.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After the Revolutionary War, the U.S. Government
established laws to survey and sell land gained from Britain. The area that
became Alabama was originally part of the Mississippi
Territory from 1798 to 1817. Many settlers arrived in the area before
government lands had been surveyed. Unable to buy, they
simply picked a location, built a cabin, cleared fields, and put in
crops. Such families were called squatters. Land laws
were passed to provide legal title to land for settlers who already lived
on the land. Some settlers claimed land by British or
Spanish land grants, and others were squatters who claimed land by right
of pre-emption.
Starting in 1804, U. S. Land Offices were established to
sell land in the area which would become Alabama. By law federal
land was sold to the highest bidders at public auctions.
Alabama sales attracted men from all over the nation, many of them
speculators. Groups of speculators bought large tracts,
sometimes for as little as $10 an acre, then resold at $20 to $100 an
acre. When an auction ended, poorer migrants could buy
less desirable land for as little as $2 an acre. The smallest amount
one person could buy was 160 acres. Under the Land Law
of 1800 a purchaser could put one-fourth down and pay the rest off
over three years. But when the price of cotton fell to
eighteen cents a pound, few could meet payments on land bought at
inflated prices. By 1820, Alabama owed the federal
government $11 million--more than half of the national land debt. In 1820
and 1821 Congress passed new laws to deal with this
problem. The Land Law of 1820 required future buyers to pay the entire
amount in cash but lowered the minimums to $1.25 an acre
and 80 acres. Those already in debt were aided by the Relief Act
of 1821 which permitted them to keep part of their land
and return the rest to the government or buy it all on the installment
plan at reduced rates
Introduction to the Settlement Unit:
The defeat of the Creek Indians opened the heartland of
Alabama to white settlement and caused Alabama fever to sweep the
nation. Pioneers by the thousands left Tennessee,
Georgia, the Carolinas, and Virginia seeking fertile land for growing cotton.
Mississippi territorial law was in place, but when
Mississippi became a state, Congress created the Alabama Territory in 1817.
Congress designated St. Stephens as capital of the
Alabama Territory and approved a legislature of Alabama delegates
already elected to the old Mississippi territorial
legislature. William Wyatt Bibb, a Georgia physician who had served in the
United States Congress and had powerful friends in
Washington, was named Territorial governor. He was also elected as the
first governor when Alabama became a state December 14,
1819. He helped establish the government, pass laws and administer justice. The following documents deal with cost of
government, land speculation, cotton, and law as settlers poured
in the area during the early settlement of Alabama.
====
At the start of the 19th century, Indians still held
most of present-day Alabama. War broke out in 1813 between American
settlers and a Creek faction known as the Red Sticks,
who were determined to resist white encroachment. After General Andrew Jackson and his Tennessee militia crushed the Red Sticks in
1814 at the Battle of Horseshoe Bend in central Alabama, he forced the Creek to sign a treaty ceding some 40,000 sq mi
(103,600 sq km) of land to the US, thereby opening about three-fourths of the present state to white
settlement.
From 1814 onward, pioneers, caught up by what was called
"Alabama fever," poured out of the Carolinas, Virginia, Georgia,
Tennessee, and Kentucky into what Andrew Jackson called
"the best unsettled country in America." Wealthy migrants came in
covered wagons, bringing their slaves, cattle, and hogs. But the great majority
of pioneers were ambitious farmers who moved to the newly opened area in hopes of acquiring fertile land on
which to grow cotton. Cotton's profitability had increased enormously with the invention of the cotton gin. In 1817, Alabama
became a territory; on 2 August 1819, a state constitution was
adopted; and on the following 14 December, Alabama was admitted to statehood.
Alabama, then as now, was sparsely populated. In 1819, its residents comprised 1.3% of the US population.
That percentage had grown to only 2% in 1980.
During the antebellum era, 95% of white Alabamians lived
and worked in rural areas, primarily as farmers. Although "Cotton
was king" in 19th-century Alabama, farmers also grew
corn, sorghum, oats, and vegetables, as well as razorback hogs and
cattle. By 1860, 80% of Alabama farmers owned the land
they tilled. Only about 33% of all white Alabamians were slaveowners. Whereas in 1820 there were 85,451 whites and 41,879
slaves, by 1860 the number of slaves had increased to 435,080, constituting 45% of the state population. Large planters
(owners of 50 slaves or more) made up less than 1% of Alabama's white population in 1860. However, they owned 28% of the
state's total wealth and occupied 25% of the seats in the legislature. Although the preponderance of the wealth and the
population in Alabama was located in the north, the success of Black Belt plantation owners at forging coalitions with industrialists
enabled planters to dominate state politics both before and after the Civil War. The planters led the secessionist movement,
and most other farmers, fearing the consequences of an end to slavery, eventually followed suit. However, 2,500 white
Alabamians served in the Union Army, and an estimated 8,000?10,000 others acted as Union scouts, deserted Confederate units,
or hid from conscription agents.
Alabama seceded from the Union in January 1861 and
shortly thereafter joined the Confederate States of America. The
Confederacy was organized in Alabama's senate chamber in
Montgomery, and Jefferson Davis was inaugurated president on the
steps of the capitol. Montgomery served as capital of the Confederacy until May,
when the seat of government was moved to
Richmond, VA.
Remote from major theaters of war, Alabama experienced
only occasional Union raids during the first three years of the conflict. In the summer of 1864, however, Confederate and Union ships
fought a major naval engagement in Mobile Bay, which ended in surrender by the outnumbered southern forces. During the
Confederacy's dying days in the spring of 1865, federal troops swept through Tuscaloosa, Selma, and Montgomery. Their major
goal, Selma, one of the Confederacy's main industrial centers, was left almost as heavily devastated as Richmond or Atlanta.
Estimates of the number of Alabamians killed in the Civil War range from 25,000 upward.
During Reconstruction, Alabama was under military rule
until it was readmitted to the Union in 1868. For the next six years,
Republicans held most top political positions in the
state. With the help of the Ku Klux Klan, Democrats regained political
control of the state in November 1874.
Cotton remained the foundation of the Alabama economy in
the late 19th and early 20th centuries. However, with the abolition
of slavery it was now raised by sharecroppers?white and
black landless farmers who paid for the land they rented from
planters with the cotton they harvested. Alabama also
attempted to create a "New South" in which agriculture would be balanced by
industry. In the 1880s and 1890s, at least 20 Alabama
towns were touted as ironworking centers. Birmingham, founded in
1871, became the New South's leading industrial center.
Its promoters invested in pig iron furnaces, coal mines, steel plants,
and real estate. Small companies merged with bigger
ones, which were taken over, in turn, by giant corporations. In 1907,
Birmingham's Tennessee Coal, Iron, and Railroad Co. was
purchased by the nation's largest steelmaker, US Steel.
Another major Alabama enterprise was cotton milling. By
1900, 9,000 men, women, and children were employed in Alabama mills; most of these white workers were farm folk who had lost their
land after the Civil War because of mounting debts and low
cotton prices. Wages in mills were so low that entire families had to work hours
as long as those they had endured as farmers.

Around Thanksgiving of 2006 my daughter and I found the
Bozeman graves at Hope Hull by following directions of Jimmy Ray Bozeman
and later contacted cousin Wayne Bozeman in Santuck to read his copy of
Sketches, then in May of 2007 we met Jimmy
Ray in Dublin and another cousin Hazel Bozeman, daughter of Uncle Bob, plus the
grandchildren of Ethel Mae Bozeman
Gibson at Hills Chapel where John T Bozeman is buried; We were led to the
woods way behind the church to find the
tombstone of John's father Peter Edward Bozeman.

A few trips to cemeteries finding
tombstones of relatives Charlie and I knew nothing about, I have
saved several photos of those headstones on webpages and tried to
write a little bit about those new
discoveries.
My mother didn't know much about
her parents since she was orphaned at the age of 4 and raised by her
mother's McClain parents.
Once I had my family tree up and
looking fabulous, I began on my late husband's family and found one
of his cousins, Clarence Bearden, posting on the internet, doing the
same thing with the Brooks lineage. I phoned Clarence and he
sent me some research papers on John Brooks born 1837 and some
pictures of Thomas Randolph Carter family. Clarence's
mother is my husband's Aunt Sissy, actually named Elizabeth
Brooks and she had called my husband's daddy,
Bubba.
I never knew that
before.
I called Charlie's cousin,
Sue Carol, about Mary Ella's lineage and found that her husband,
Wayne Bozeman, was also my cousin, WOW !!
Sue Carol drove me and Beverly up
to Central one day to see the tombstones of Mary Partridge and
George Thornton, a couple of there great grandparents from Georgia,
buried behind an old Primitive Baptist Church.
Wayne and Sue Carol had dug deeply
into his lineage and they were amazed with my Bozeman
research. They had been to the graves at Hope Hull, but so had
Clarence Bearden and he had also published an article about his
findings there on the Alabama Cemetery Preservation
webpage.
Beverly took me to Hope Hull and
our findings were extremely fascinating and we took many
pictures
Then we went to Dublin to further
our reearch and to Elmore County and I have many other pictures
within.
Beverly gave me a new computer for
Christmas 2006 with a free subscription to ancestry.com and I have
saved hundreds of old documents, and census images showing the
tracks of our ancestors.
Wayne loaned me his copy of a book
written about the Bozemans and I have also scanned those pages into
my research.
I have posted my huge family tree
on the internet to share at rootsweb.com and there is another
relative online researching the Brooks lineage of Tennessee and
Alabama
New relatives write to me all the
time, I have dozens and dozens of emails from people asking for
information, sharing their lineage, letting me know that we are
related.
I joined several genealogy mailing
lists and message boards online and once tried to contact a Donna
Burdette but her mother wrote back to me, being from the Bozeman
line - Elizabeth is the granddaughter of Ethel Mae Bozeman, the
sister of my great granny Lorena.
Jimmy Ray Bozeman wrote to me and
met me and Elizabeth at Dublin in May 2007, my daughter Beverly
drove us there and we met a lot of Ethel Mae's family there and some
elderly children of Uncle Bob Bozeman's family. We explored
the old family cemetery way behind Hills Chapel Church, out in the
woods and found the grave of Peter Edward Bozeman and his daughter
in law Alice Lorena Stephens Bozeman.
Peter's son John had been married
to Alice. Alice was our great great granny, rich with Cherokee
blood.
I can see how she named my great
granny Emma Lorena Bozeman but where did she get the name for Ethel
Mae. Aunt Ethel had written a story about her parents,
published in the Montgomery Advertiser around
1970.
I asked these people at Dublin if
they knew anything about Lorena 's husband Charlie McClain and they
said he was a good man, cross eyed, and never had a
tombstone.
December 2007 a new cousin, Glenda,
sends an email. Cousin to my mother in law, she is a wonderful
new friend. We are researching Ella Olivia Baxley Hood and her
parents of Holtville. Beverly takes me to Coosa River
Primitive Baptist Church cemetery where we find several family
graves, Louisa Miranda Holt and James Hardie Baxley, of the Civil
War and down the road at Cains Chapel Cemetery we find the grave of
Ella and her husband L W Hood and their children, including
"Bubber" Bessie Mae Hood Thornton ( the mother of Mary Ella
Thornton Brooks ).
My mother was an indian and my
father had some indian blood so I am certainly interested in all
native american history, finding a lot being uploaded to
usgenweb.com
My Dad's sisters are near 90 and
well Bernice is 92 and they sent me information and pictures of the
old ones and copies of their own genealogy worksheets, which have
been very helpful with my Cochran lineage. My grandpa Cochran
was married to a Coonfield which has much indian history coming out
of 1800s Kentucky, Civil War and travels across the
nation.
Several of my ancestors served in
the American Revolution and the Civil War and I find it amazing to
cross their names in our nation's history.
Many books are written including a
portion of our family; Grandpa Coonfield being listed in the history
of Morgan County Indiana; Grandpa Little in the DAR books and
Kentucky History; Sketches of Bozeman published in 1885
mentions Peter Bozeman moving to Alabama; Stephens Ancestors
book at Ramer Library written by a cousin Clyde Stephens who wrote
to me a few years ago and sent a package of papers to my home for my
research; Fenn families in Georgia history and in the Early
Settlers of Barbour County Alabama.
Jimmy Ray Bozeman's daughter is
currently working to get our Peter Bozeman recognized at the DAR
which will open doors for many many Alabama Bozeman
researchers. Peter's son William Henry Bozeman has a large
lineage here.
Peter's son Jesse is the one found
buried at Hope Hull.
Everything I find is printed to my
notebook and also saved on a webpage,

Having my family tree online has me now receiving lots of emails from new
family researchers and
cousins
