General Notes: Husband - John Cochran

---

He settled at the site of Waynesboro, Franklin County, Pennsylvania, soon after 1750, where he later died. He was a strict Covenanter. In harvest time he always had family worship before daylight, singing, reading and prayer, when the family and all hands were required to be present. Then a lunch, with a little whiskey was partaken of, preceded by an invocation of the divine blessing; then to work awhile before breakfast. In walking to worship over a ridge that abounded in huckleberries, the young folks dared not gather any, as it was considered a breach of the Sabbath.

His wife was a Wallace. [HLC 1877, 168]
His wife was a Baird. [BF, 405]
