General Notes: Husband - William Cochran

---

He was a Presbyterian minister, and was sent as a home missionary to Missouri in 1831, to labor among the slaves. For some time he was engaged in this philanthropic work at Palmyra, Missouri, when one of the slave owners welcomed him to his house, and showing him to his room, told him he might occupy that room as long as he desired to stay, and pray all he wished inside of that room, but not outside of it.
