General Notes: Husband - David Cochran


He came to Pennsylvania with his brothers, Stephen and James, and settled on the Octoraro, in Chester County.

The three Cochran brothers obtained a large grant of land on the Gap and Newport Turnpike, where the village of Cochranville perpetuates the family name. James Cochran's lands were south of those of Stephen and David.

He emigrated to Pennsylvania with his brothers, James and Stephen. He settled in Fallowfield township, Chester County, about 1745.
