There are county deeds, not for this land, but for personal property, recorded in 1830 that state he was living there on land purchased by his son, John O. Cochran. But based on county deeds, his son did not buy the land until 1833, and he sold it in 1835. Possibly he was renting and paying taxes on the land from 1829 until it was purchased in 1833.
