      James COCHRAN - son of Nathaniel and Elizabeth (Ford) COCHRAN, was born September 19, 1806, in Marion county, then in Virginia. His first marriage was on the 2nd of December, 1828, when Amanda Brumage became his wife.

      Their children were seven, with the following record: Joseph N., born November 16, 1829, died June 24, 1864; Minerva E., July 16, 1833, lives in this county; Nathaniel C., August 28, 1836, lives in Marion county, West Virginia; Mary J., February 1, 1851, died September 7, 1876; William H., August 11, 1842, died June 7, 1865; James A., April 1, 1845, and Winfield S., November 9, 1849, live in Grant district. Nathaniel, William H. and James A. were Federal soldiers in the war between the States. The first-named was in Malsby's battery, serving three years, and the other two were six months members of the 4th West Virginia Cavalry. The mother of these children was born February 6, 1812, and died June 15, 1853. At Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, September 1, 1857, James COCHRAN again wedded, and the wife of his choice was Margaret M., daughter of John and Mary (Magathan) Campbell.
