General Notes: Husband - Robert Armstrong Cochran


He was the only son of Jane Duffield and her second husband, John Cochran. While quite young he chose Maysville, KY, as his home. He was a law­yer, and for 16 years held the position of County Clerk of Mason county.

Going to Kentucky on an adventure, expecting to teach school for a term or two, he located at Maysville, and by force of his talents and ability he achieved a high and commanding position in social, political and business affairs. He held many local offices of importance, and was a member of the Kentucky Legislature. Before and during the war of the Re­bellion he was a firm Union man. His wife, a daughter of Andrew M. January, was of Huguenot and Scotch-Ir­ish descent. On the paternal side Mr. Cochran was de­rived from the Cochrans of Paisley, Scotland. There is a Barony of Cochran in Renfrewshire, Scotland, and the family traces direct to Walden de Cochran, in the time of Alexander III., 1260. [Duffield Family, 74]
