My Mother
was Orphaned at age 4,
Her parents were
Alice McClain and Cecil Earl Fenn Carter while
her grandparents Lorena Bozeman and Charles
McClain raised her and she never heard from
grandparents Anna Lou Stone and William Franklin
Fenn.
Lorena's parents were Alice
Lorena Stephens and John Thomas Bozeman of
Dublin. Parents of Charles were Elizebeth
Broadway and Josiah Marion McClain - Josiah had
a family in Georgia when he enlisted in the
Civil War in 1861 but his injuries might have
caused him to lose that memory and he never went
back - His former wife filed an application to
join the Indian Rolls and then filed for divorce
in 1872. Elizabeth filed for a Widows Pension in
1897. Josiah's parents are buried at Indian
Creek Cemetery in Georgia.
Parents of
Elizabeth were Mary Stephens and Abner
Broadway
My father's parents were Luella
Coonfield and Frank Delbert Cochran, and
grandparents were Lattie Cedonia Little and
Benjamin Wallace Coonfield; Clora Jane Miller
and Jacob Benjamin Cochran. Our grandfather
Jacob was born in 1822 Guernsey Ohio - during a
time where his family were the ONLY Cochrans
found in that territory - other Cochrans rushed
into Ohio in other counties by 1830 and 1840.
Grandpa Jacob married first to Mariah White and
had six daughters, then he and his brothers
joined the California Gold Rush and later
enlisted in the Civil War. By 1870 he and his
family loaded the wagons and explored the Iowa
Territory for a few years before he became
widowed. He later married Clora Jane Miller and
had moved to Kansas where he had our Frank
Delbert Cochran.
Parents of
Lattie were Mary Catherine Crigler and John
Wright Little of Kentucky. Parents of Ben were
Martha Frances Young and Benjamin Wylie
Coonfield of Indiana.
Parents of
Catherine were Catherine Roby and Abraham
Crigler - Parents of John were Dr. Hiram Little
and Catherine Wright and her mother was
Catherine G. Weatherford.
Our Grandpa
Hiram Little was a Mason and also was a surgeon
in the Civil War and his son John also joined
the Kentucky Infantry - He was a blacksmith and
made guns and Aunt Bernice has a few pieces of
black iron that he created as well as copies of
his military
records.
