"David Cochran my Father, and only son of David Cochran of Glasgow, born in l740, Emigrated to America quite a young man and Engaged in the Merchandise business in the Town of New Castle, Hanover County, Virginia. By a succession of deaths & lastly by the death (I arn told) of Henry Cochran an Estate near the City of Edinburg, by name Barbarclay [Barbachlaw], and of great value, descended to my Father and was fully in his possession until by some Mercantile transaction it was sold, the particulars of which I have never been informed satisfactorily. I have been told the Estate Barbarclay [Barbachlaw] was sold to discharge some protested Bills of Exchange on account of one Robert Ferguson, who was my Father's partner in business and resided in Edinburg. An old Scotch Lawyer (John Warden) once told me that real or Entailed Estate in Scotland could not be sold in fee simple unless for a debt due the Crown, but for all other debts could be sold on tax or lease until the same was discharged or paid off. I have no Knowledge when the Estate was sold, only that it happened when I was quite young. By whom it was purchased, for what amount sold, or whether it was an Entailed Estate, I have no certain Knowledge. The Court records of Scotland however would Explain all about it." - Dr. William COCHRAN, 1841

"Death - Departed this life at Rocky Mills, in Hanover County, on Monday the 25th instant, Col. John Syme [II], aged 77 years and 11 months. He sustained for 15 months a life of unceasing pain. As a patriot, Col. Syme was excelled by few. At the age of 19 he was chosen to represent his county, which office he filled without intermission until he was elected to represent his district in the senate, which last office he resigned in 1794, after having grown too aged to bear longer the duties of a public life. He was an officer in the Indian war in 1753 -- and in the American revolution he will be remembered as one who devoted his whole time and a considerable share of an ample fortune, to the service of his country. For some months he devoted his time entirely to the services of his God, and his latest expressions, as to a supreme being, were those of consolation to his relatives and perfect resignation of himself. Take me, Oh! Jesus take me, I am ready, Why should I longer stay?"

"Died - At his residence on the 22d inst. Col. JOHN OVERTON, in the 69th year of his age. As an advocate for the natural rights of man, his military career during the storms of the revolution affords an ample proof. As an ardent patriot, his voluntary enlistment under the banners of the energetic Henry, to retaliate on a despotic Dunmore, quite strongly exhibits. He was in most of the memorable battles to the north, Brandywine, of Germantown, &c. and behaved on all occasions like a gallant soldier. After the close of the war, he represented his county several years in the Legislature. As an officer stamped with Roman firmness of character, his conduct pending the whole revolutionary struggle, incontestably evinces, whilst the sympathies of his friends and acquaintances announce him a good man, and the genuine sorrow of his domestic circle proclaiming him an indulgent father. On his death bed, he announced his unwavering confidence in the truths of the Christian religion."

"Died at Rocky Mills, very suddenly, of an apoplexy, on Tuesday the 20th instant, Mrs. Sarah Syme; her health had been as good, perhaps better than common, and her spirits on that day more than unusually cheerful, but in the evening, and without a moment's warning, she was hurried from the hopes and affections of her children, to that country 'from whose bourse no traveler returns'. She possessed a mind highly endowed, but her active virtues were entitled to much higher claims; she was pious, and, when able, punctual in her religious duties; the poor around her residence will long lament that that heart which once sympathized with their sufferings, is now cold, and those hands ever ready to relieve them are closed forever."

"Died, of consumption June 24, 1899, at nine o'clock a.m. Mrs. Susan Owen (nee Chesnut) aged 46 years, 10 months and 12 days. She was born in Laurel county, Ky., on August 12, 1852. on September 3, 1874, she was married to William Owen; four children blessed their union, three of whom are still living. She was a member of the Christian church, lived a humble, patient and obedient life and died in full and triumphant faith in Christ as her Savior. Her remains were laid to rest in the old family grave yard in the presence of a host of sorrowing friends and relatives. In the death of Mrs. Owen, the father has lost a devoted companion, the children a kind mother and the church and community a good and faithful member and citizen, and while it grieves us to give her up, we humbly submit to God's will believing that we shall meet her again in that haven of rest, for we "sorrow not, even as others who have no hope."

"Dr. W. W. Cochrane, one of Atchison's oldest and most respected citizens, died to-day at 2 p.m., after a long and lingering illness. He was born in 1820, Owen County, Kentucky, of Scotch and English parentage. His father was a physician, practicing from 1812 to 1850 in Lexington and Louisville, Kentucky. Dr. Cochrane graduated at the Louisville Medical college in 1848. He afterwards practiced medicine in Louisiana and Mississippi until 1859, when he located in Atchison. For many years he was the leading physician of the city, retiring gradually from practice on account of advanced age. He was one of the first members of the Kansas Medical society, joining that body in 1862; was its president from 1868 to 1872, and from that date was annually elected treasurer until 1890. In 1862, he was married to Miss Mary D. Stuart [Stewart], at Palmyra, Missouri. Mrs. Cochrane and three children survive him. Dr. Cochrane was a high-minded, honorable gentleman of the old school; at all times courteous and affable, yet firm and steadfast in his convictions. Those who knew him best, loved him most, and understood and appreciated his splendid traits of character. He was a devoted student of his profession, pursuing his studies to the last. He practiced his profession, not for the profit received therefrom, but chiefly for the good that he could do. No one was too poor to command his services. The funeral will occur at 2:30 p. m. Monday [16 January 1899], from the Baptist church, Dr. Comer officiating. The pall bearers will be David Martin, A. H. Horton, W. C. McPike, J. C. Fox, C. M. Streeper, W. W. Campbell, D. W.

"DREADFUL TRAGEDY IN LEXINGTON, KY. A WEALTHY AND PROMINENT CITIZEN KILLED HIS SLAYER WOUNDED.

"About seven o'clock on Wednesday evening last, Benjamin Warfield, Esq., a wealthy and most highly respected citizen of Lexington, Kentucky, was shot and killed by Horace Armant in the office of the Broadway Hotel. Several weeks ago the father of young Armant was killed in his own yard by some person unknown, but supposed to be a negro man with whom he had quarreled, and who once belonged to Mr. Warfield, and who was arrested for the offense. Out of this occurrence there grew up a personal misunderstanding which resulted in the almost simultaneous shooting of the one at the other upon the moment of their meeting in the hotel, as above stated. The report we have before us says that they came into the office through different doors at the same moment. Armant was shot slightly in the breast, but his victim escaped less fortunately, being shot in the shoulder and bowels. He was conveyed to his home, where he died at 2 o'clock A.M. having been fully conscious up to the very last.

"Mr. Warfield belonged to one of the oldest and most distinguished families of Central Kentucky; was an extensive farmer, and at the time of his death was engaged, also in a large wholesale grocery business in Lexington. He will be remembered with his brother, William Warfield, son-in-law of the Rev. Dr. Robert J. Breckinridge, as a yearly exhibitor of the finest blooded cattle of the bluegrass region at many of our State Fairs.

"His wife, a most lovely woman - the daughter of the late John O. Cochrane of Louisville, Ky., has the sympathy of a large circle of friends and relatives in this city. He leaves with her three interesting children. He was a high-toned, chivalrous and scrupulously honorable man, and will be missed in Lexington by hosts of warm friends and admirers. His age was about thirty-five. Mrs. Warfield has a sister residing in New Albany, the wife of Joseph Odell, Esq., the editor of the Commercial."

"JOHN C. WARFIELD SUCCUMBS TO STROKE OF PARALYSIS RECEIVED LAST WEEK
- Death of Popular Elk and Widely Known Business Man A Shock and Surprise To His Friends
- An Active Career Closed

"John C. Warfield died Monday night at 9 o'clock at the home of his sister, Mrs. Samuel Bennett on Woodland Ave. He had been in ill health for several months and suffered a stroke of paralysis last week.

"Mr. Warfield was forty-seven years of age, the son of the late Benjamin Warfield and was a popular and courtly representative of his distinguished ancestry. Mr. Warfield was a man of generous instincts and high sense of honor. He was loyal to his friends, and they loved him for his sincerity, his perfect candor and his ready disposition to accept sacrifice for their welfare. He was a lover of good literature and had a remarkably retentive memory, and in conversation could quote offhand pages of classic dramas, books, poems and speeches.

"He is survived by his mother and sister, who were with him during his long illness. His only other sister was Mrs. Samule McChesney of St. Louis, whose death took place three or four years ago.

"From 1885 to 1889 Mr. Warfield was deputy postmaster at the Lexington office under W. S. McChesney, and afterwards was bookkeeper for the Lexington Roller Mills until his health failing him, he took a position for a time in the country as paymaster and book-keeper at the Elmerdorf Farm. He was a prominent member of the Lexington Lodge of Elks and many friends will sympathize with his family and their sorrow at his loss.

"The funeral services will be held Wednesday afternoon at 4 o'clock at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Bennett on Woodland Avenue, and the burial will be in the Lexington Cemetery. Dean Capers will conduct the services. The pallbearers will be: H. H. Barnes, Charles H. Edge, Thomas W. Moore, J. Will Sayer, A. C. Gutzeit, J. C. McChesney, A. G. Morgan, R. Henry Owings."

"John Stanley and Wm. Richardson to the Governor, 1791 June 9th

"Humbly complaining, showeth your petitioners, Inspectors of Tobacco at Meriweather's warehouse, New Castle, that in the year 1789, they have incurred a forfeiture of ÂŁ500, for not accounting for the Tobacco exported from their warehouse during that year, & are now under the prosecution of the Solicitor general, & are remediless saving by the Interposition of the Hon'ble the Executive of this state, & think it advisable & proper thus to state simply their lease, & exhibit their Vouchers to the Board. Your petitioners aver that the above laches did not arise from any sort of Design to injure the Publick, but firmly imagined their annual salaries wou'd at any rate be allowed them, which would have defrayed the publick duty on Tobacco, and moreover wou'd have made easy every claim against them of a public nature, but lately conceived their error when it was too late to prevent the entering the Judgment against then for the s'd forfeiture, have only now this resource of pray a Remission at the s'd ÂŁ500 at your Hands.

"Annexed hereunto you will find not only the Treasurer's rec't for the duty, but the solicitor's also, for the Costs of the Judgments, whereby every claim is now discharged, except the s'd forfeiture, which we pray maybe remitted, and your petitioners will ever pray, &c. To which is appended a testimonial of sundry citizens in favor of the petitioners in part, as follows: " In the highest estimation as we hold the Laws and Constitution of our Country, but in taking a survey of the Relative Connection existing between the Governor & Governed, we conceive that while protection is given to one, protection also ought to be given to the other.

"For the guide of Inspectors the legislature have laid down a particular Duty to be observed; and a forfeiture (to be applied to public uses) for a non-performance of that Duty. The Inspectors in this case have unwarily incurred the forfeiture, depending on their salaries to defray the public acc'ts; but being mistaken in the Law in that case made & provided, have thereby subjected themselves to the prosecution of the Attorney-Gen'l, who has actually obtained a Judgment against them for the s'd forfeiture, which must have been incured from an inoffensive Disposition, & not thro' design or intention to injure the publick. Now, Sirs, if the Destruction of two respectable citizens be preferable to the sum of five hundred pounds in the publick Treasury, then ought we to acquiesce & bewail their misfortune; but if the sum be inadequate to the sacrifice, then do we trust that the forfeiture will be remitted.

"From these considerations then, we humbly conceive that a Remission of that forfeiture will granted, as may be done, we think, without any sort of Inconvenience to the publick, but of manifest advantage to the Inspectors."

"Just after we had taken in a good dinner on Tuesday and were feeling at peace with all the world, we  were startled by the sound of several pistol shots, coming from the direction of the Province House and soon saw an excited crowd of men running toward that point.  When we reached the battle ground we found that a difficulty had occurred between James Doughty on the one side and Andy Edwards, his son in law John Gill and John Marlow on the other.  These persons all live on Raccoon and the trouble had originated over the expulsion of Edwards children from the district school by the trustees, one of whom was Doughty and had been gathering force for several days.  Bitter words had passed between Doughty and Edwards earlier in the day, but they had separated without coming to blows.  But when Marlow, who is a stepson of Edwards, met  Doughty the difficulty was renewed and while these two were quarrelling
Edwards threw a rock at Doughty, thus starting the fracas.  Doughty and Marlow both drew their weapons and commenced firing.  Doughty retreating towards the Province House as he fired.  He ran into the house and news soon reached the street that he was shot all to pieces, but upon examination it was found that the bullet had only grazed the skin across his bowles.  Marlow's coat showed two bullet holes but he was unhurt.  Thus the battle ended with much smoke, but little fire.  The party was soon taken before County Judge Barnett, who upon the defendants waiving examination, held all four for the action of the grand jury and placed each of them under bond to keep the peace." - Mountain Echo, 7 Aug 1891

"Lived Here 57 Years"

"Mrs. W. W. Cochrane Died Yesterday"

"Widow Of Early Physician"

"Her Great Grandfather Fought in Revolution, and Another Ancestor Was in War of 1812"

"Mrs. Mary Davis Stewart Cochrane, widow of Dr. W. W. Cochrane, and who had lived in Atchison 57 years, since 1862, died yesterday afternoonat 3:30 o'clock at her home, 316 North Third street, age 81.

"It was stated in The Globe last night that Mrs. Cochrane's death was expected momentarily. She had been unconscious since Saturday night at 11 o'clock, and had been in failing health for ten years.

"In caring for her daughter, Miss Mary Cochrane, who died in Colorado in 1909, Mrs. Cochrane contracted a cold, which resulted in complications and leaving her almost helpless. During the ten years of her invalidism she was tenderly nursed by her daughter, Dr. Catherine Smith, whose devotion was the comfort and joy of Mrs. Cochrane's declining years.

"One of Mrs. Cochrane's ancestors, Captain John Hamilton, an officer in the war of 1812; her great grandfather, Seneca McCracken, fought in the Revolution; her grandfather, Charles Stewart, was an honored member of the Kentucky legislature for many years.

"She was born May 9, 1838, on a farm near Versailles, Ky., and was the only child of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Davis Stewart. Her mother's maiden name was Mary Hamilton.

"Her parents died in her childhood, and she was reared by her aunt, Mrs. Fletcher Taylor, in Palmyra, Mo., and was educated at Georgetown, Ky., graduating in 1857. She identified herself with the Baptist church in 1857, and was a staunch member of the church throughout her life.

"On November 13, 1862, she became the wife of Dr. W. W. Cochrane, whose death occurred January 15, 1899, and who came to Atchison in 1859. For many years Dr. Cochrane was Atchison's leading physician. He was one of the first members of the Kansas Medical society, joining that body in 1862, and was its president from 1868 until to 1872.

"Five children were born to Dr. and Mrs. Cochrane and of them two survive: Dr. Catherine Smith, wife of Dr. John Ellsworth Smith, of Kansas City, and W. W. Cochrane, of Atchison. Two grandchildren survive, Miriam Margaret and William Winston, jr., the children of Mr. and Mrs. W. W. Cochrane.

"The funeral will take place Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock from the Baptist church, interment in Mt. Vernon cemetery. In the absence of the Rev. W. C. Chapman the services will be conducted by Rev. Garland Riggan, of Kansas City, and by the Rev. Edward Beauchamp, of Highland."

'John was a pretty astute politician, very clever,' said former Councilman Carl Barringer who served with Melton on the council for 8 1/2 years, until 1990. Melton was a man of strong likes and dislikes who stuck by his beliefs. 'John was also very determined that Santa Paula shouldn't grow…and he was a very good speaker,' noted Barringer. Melton's personable qualities, interest in others and great speaking skills helped him forge an unusually high-profile career for a councilman from a small town such as Santa Paula."  - Obituary, Santa Paula Times, 6 October 2004

"Mrs. Clara Virginia Warfield, 86, widow of Benjamin Warfield, died Thursday afternoon at 4:40 o'clock at her apartment, 437 West Second Street, after a long illness due to the infirmities of age.

"Mrs. Warfield was before her marriage, Miss Clara Cochrane, the daughter of John O. and Mary Winston Cochrane of Virginia. Her childhood and girlhood were spent in Virginia and Louisville, where her marriage took place. A representative of families of renown in Virginia and Kentucky, Mrs. Warfield's beautiful life and character had endeared her to all who had known her since she came to Lexington as a bride. Her literary ability, her broad culture, and gentleness, and the remarkable alertness which endured in her old age brought to her many friends for counsel and enlightenment. She was a member of Christ Church Cathedral, and throughout her life in Lexington was interested in the work of the church.

"Mrs. Warfield is survived by her daughter, Mrs. Mary Warfield Bennett of Lexington,; three granddaughters, Mrs. Allen Ashbrock of Washington, D. C., Mrs. William Shelby of Mexico and Mrs. J. C. Weiman of Minneapolis; three grandsons, Benjamin W. Bennett of Brooklyn, N. Y., Dudley W.

"This inconvenience to Henry's son-in-law and daughter, Elizabeth, added to the already strained relation between Henry and his step-brother, which began years earlier when Syme failed to credit Henry for wheat he had sold him. By 1795, tensions had increased to the point that the two were no longer associating with one another." - "Patrick Henry Letters Acquired for Collection", News From Red Hill, Winter 2018, p 1-2.

The situation is described in a letter by Patrick HENRY. The recipient of the letter is unknown.

An English royal charter in 1693 established William and Mary University at Williamsburg in the Colony of Virginia. Since both the colonies of Virginia and Maryland would be financially supporting the university with a tax on exported tobacco, residents of both colonies would be able to attend William and Mary. In 1694, the governor of Maryland requested the William and Mary Chancellor and head of the Church of England in America, "The Rt. Rev. Father in God, Henry, Lord Bishop of London", to provide a schoolmaster for their planned preparatory school. The Bishop selected Andrew GEDDES and requested the Admiralty Board in London to arrange ship passage for him to Virginia.

In the 1910 Census, Dewey Claxton is listed as 7 years old, as the son of Mary Ann (Moore) Claxton.


I do not beleive Mary Ann MOORE had any children with her second husband, Henry Clay TYE. In the 1910 Census, Dewy CLAXTON, born in 1903 to Mary Ann after her first husband's death and before her marriage to Henry, is listed as a step-child to Henry. Also in the 1910 Census, Henry Lee TYE is listed as Henry's son, born in 1905 after Henry's first wife died and before his marriage to Mary Ann in 1909. He could be Mary Ann's son, except she is listed in the 1900 Census as having a total of 9 children, and in the 1910 Census as having a total of 10, and Dewy accounts for the 10th child born between 1900 and 1910. Henry Lee Tye's delayed birth certificate lists his birth date as consistant with the 1910 Census, but lists his mother as Elizabeth Bishop, which cannot be based on her 1904 death. - W.

On 11 October 1775 he was commissioned as an Ensign in the Militia in Botetourt County by the Committee of Safety for the Colony of Virginia, while living on the Greenbriar River on the western frontier of Virginia. In the fall and winter of 1776-77 he served 3 months under Captain PAXTON, Colonel DICKSON and General HAMILTON against the Shawnee Indians. In 1777 he was appointed an Indian Spy, and served at various times from 1777 until 1783 for a total of 1 year and 6 months under Captain COOK.

Per the U.S. Revolutionary War Claim Act of 7 June 1832, he filed his pension claim, No. S.3252, in July 1833. It was returned for more information, and refiled in December. The pension certificate for $90 per year was signed on 20 December 1833, just after his death. His widow, Esther, was entitled to and received the $90 per annum.

The Improved Order of Red Men (IORM) traces its origin to secret patriotic societies founded before the American Revolution. They were established to promote Liberty and to defy the tyranny of the English Crown. Among the early groups were: The Sons of Liberty, the Sons of St. Tammany, and later the Society of Red Men. In 1813, at historic Fort Mifflin near Philadelphia, several of these groups came together and formed one organization known as the Society of Red Men. The name was changed to the Improved Order of Red Men in Baltimore in 1834. Their rituals and regalia are modeled after those used by Native Americans. The organization claimed a membership of about half a million in 1935.

The German Order of Harugari was established in 1847 with the objectives of mutual protection in a time of high German immigration and anti-German sentiment in the U.S., and preservation of German language and culture. It attracted more working-class members than other fraternal groups such as the Freemasons. Membership declined in the final decades of the nineteenth century as German immigrants became more assimilated.

This location changed governmental jurisdiction several times during his residency. In 1784 several counties in western North Carolina, including Greene County, established the State of Franklin without federal recognition after North Carolina had abandoned the area. In 1786 North Carolina re-established county governments in parallel with the State of Franklin county governments, and in 1788 the State of Franklin was dissolved. In 1790 North Carolina ceded the counties to the US federal government, who designated it the Southwest Territory. In 1793 Jefferson County was formed from this portion of Greene County, and in 1796 Tennessee became a state. In the span of 12 years, this location was governed by 5 different entities. Much later in 1870, Hamblen County was formed from this portion of Jefferson County.

When Andrew GEDDES arrived in the Colony of Maryland to become the schoolmaster at their preparatory school for William and Mary University, there apparently wasn't a lot of interest in actually establishing the school. So on the 30th of September, 1696, the Upper House of the Maryland General Assembly recorded:

"It being recomended that some Encouragement be given Mr Gaddas, the Schole Mastr sent in by his Lordsp the Bishop of London. The house desire his Excy will appoint him to read prayers in some Parish where no minister is Collated and that he may receive a Sallary therefore out of the 40l of tobo p poll, not exceeding 10000l tobo p Annur Sent to his Excellency."

Then on the 3rd of June, 1697, the Upper House of the Maryland General Assembly recorded:

" The house are made acquanited that Mr Geddes the School master sent in is placed out as vnder master to the Colledge Schoole in Virga to save a present charge & to gaine himselfe the more experience against the schole is here built."

In other words, the Colony of Maryland did not want to keep paying him until their school was built, so he was sent to teach at William and Mary.
