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
