In addition, there are a number of family graves at this site that may help with the genealogy of the family.   We’re not sure what the relations are here, or whether they have any interest or impact on the Little Colonel Stories, but they may, so are included for reference and perhaps answers to future research..<\/p>\n

\nThe general site from another angle.  The Little Colonel’s parents are in the center (facing away),
\nperpendicular to the graves in the foreground.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nHarriet Hoadley Cochran
\n*Sept 25 1833, + Feb 3, 1922
\nArchibald Prentice Cochran
\n* Mar 21 1823, + Mar 26 1889
\n(the Little Colonel’s paternal grandparents)
\n(Little Colonel’s parents are in the rear)<\/p>\n

And in front of those those two graves, another row of Cochran’s:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nJames Bridgeford Cochran *July 16 1891, + April 4, 1899
\nJohn Heywood Cochran, July 28, *1902, + Sept 6 1915<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nBelle Lee Cochran *Dec 17, 1893, + Sept 25 1930<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nMargaret Lee Cochran * May 5, 1867, + May 31, 1935
\nHeywood Cochran *Nov 19 1867, + Aug 1, 1931
\n(Heywood is the Little Colonel’s uncle)<\/p>\n

Children of Heywood & Margaret Lee \u2192
\ncousins to the Little Colonel <\/p>\n

Other graves you see?  These must be other family members, but we have only guesses as to the relations.  They are The Little Colonel’s cousins, uncles, aunts perhaps?<\/p>\n

From Census records:<\/strong><\/p>\n

1880
\nArchibald Cochran, age 57, born in PA
\nwife Harriet age 47, born NY
\nchildren Helen, age 17; Heywood, age 16; Octavia, age 14; Hoadley age 12. 
\nWhich seems pretty conclusive that Archibald Prentice Cochran (1823-1922) and Harriet Hoadley Cochran were the Little Colonel’s paternal grandparents.<\/p>\n

1900 
\nMargaret is listed as the mother of 3 children, 2 living, which would account for James Bridgeford who died in 1899.<\/p>\n

1910 
\nHeywood Cochran, age 45; wife Margaret, age 42; children Belle age 17; Archie, age 12; John age 8
\n(Heywood was the Little Colonel’s uncle and Belle Lee and John Haywood Cochran and probably James BridgefordCochran were her cousins.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
