General Notes: Husband - John M. Cochran
At eighteen years of age he engaged in boating coke down the Youghiogheny, Monongahela and Ohio rivers to Cincinnati and followed that business regularly for fifteen years excepting what little time was necessary to be given to his farm. In 1867 he built the "Jackson Coke Works" near Broad Ford, Pennsylvania, and in connection with his brothers James, Isaac, Sample and J. H. Ewing, operated them till 1877, when he disposed of his interest. In 1870 he and Christian Sherrick and Judge John K. Ewing of Uniontown purchased land near Stauffer, in East Huntingdon township, on which a year later they erected sixty coke ovens and afterwards added one hundred more. In 1877 Mr. Cochran became sole owner of these coke works and successfully operated them until he died.
He and his wife had twelve children, nine sons and three daughters, of whom five were still living in 1890.
