Family History
Jacob Benjamin Cochran was my dad's
grandfather. He was born in 1822 Ohio
and was in the Civil War. His grandfather
Alexander Cochran of Pennsylvania was in the
American Revolution. Jacob married Clora Jane
Miller about 1879 in Iowa and had Frank Delbert
when they settled in Hill City Kansas.
Frank D. married Luella Coonfield in Arkansas
and had my Dad in 1927. Luella's family came
from Kentucky, her mom was Lattie Cedonia
Little, a daughter of John Wright Little and
Catherine Crigler. Catherine's parents
were Catherine Roby and Abraham Crigler.
The Coonfields were in Kentucky by 1800 and so
were the others.
Meanwhile in Alabama about 1826, Peter
Bozeman settled in Hope Hull and all along
through Ramer and Dublin were found our Elisha
Anderson, Abner Broadway, Calvin Sellers, John
Stephens, and after the Civil War came Josiah
Marion McClain. About that
time John Fenn settled in Tuskegee and had a son
William Franklin Fenn who married Anna Lou Stone
in 1893 and had a son Cecil Earl around
1900. William worked on his uncle Matthew
Fenn's plantation in Eufaula but Anna divorced
him and left about 1901 with Cecil. Her
parents were born in Macon County, Mary Ann
Hendrick and Augustus Marvin Fenn.
In 1861 Peter Edward Bozeman married Nancy
Jane Anderson and worked their 40 acre cotton
farm in Dublin. His mother was Martha Hill
born about 1800 South Carolina and they lived
near her brother John Hill, who created Hills
Chapel, the church, the school and the
cemetery. It is possible that their father
the elder John Hill once lived there as
well.
Nancy's son John Thomas Bozeman married Alice
Lorena Stephens and she had Lorena Emma Bozeman
in 1890, and Ethel Mae about 1892. Alice
died birthing a son in 1894. Then John married
Sarah Ellen Bean and several more children came
including our Uncle Bob.
Lorena married Charles Allen McClain, the son
of Elizabeth Broadway and Josiah McClain.
Josiah was born in Georgia to "Anna" and James
McClain. James' grandparents came from
Virginia in the 1700s, Elizabeth Moon and
Charles McClain, found in 1800 Spartanburg
SC.
Lorena McClain had Alice and she married
Cecil Earl Fenn Carter. His mother Anna Lou
Stone Fenn had remarried and gave him the Carter
name. Cecil had served several years in
the Army in El Paso but returned after his
mother died and stayed in Montgomery near his
sickly father Wm Fenn who had left the farm and
retired near the train station with most of his
other children who began to work for the
railroad.
Alice and Cecil lived on Columbus Street and
had three children including my mother born in
1934, Anne. Anne grew up to marry
Frankie Cochran. Anne's daughter
married Charles Brooks. His family also
came from downtown Montgomery around 1900 where
his grandpa James E. Brooks worked for the
State, but his daddy worked for the
railroad. James was the son of Annie
Ballard and John Brooks of Tennessee and he
married Susie Mae Cooper, the daughter of Sarah
Elizabeth Carter and Levi Benjamin Cooper.
Susie named her son James
Jr and he married Mary Ella Thornton who's
ancestors are found in Elmore County in the
1800s.

Our ancestors met before the
Civil War. They came together in Montgomery
sharing cotton plantations in the fields you now
see when passing through
Montgomery on I-65. Yet after the war
this land was worthless, being destroyed as
Wilsons Raiders burned a path through the state
but these families struggled to revive as much
as they could. I found an old cemetery with some
tombstones dating back to 1793 on this property
and then tried to trace their descendants across
town. In 1900 I find them again in downtown
Montgomery near the train station as many others
had migrated into our lineage and they once
again worked together. In fact my mother in law
in 1950 had taken in the widow of my great
grandfather when she had no place to go.
My husband's cousin Sue Carol on his mother's
side married one of my mother's Bozeman Cousins
and his father's great grandpa Thomas Carter was
once married to another of our Bozeman
Cousins in Hope Hull. Our families
were always close, we just did not realize how
very close. My father came from Kansas and
married my mom in Montgomery in 1951, while he
was stationed at Maxwell AFB after injuries from
being shot in the Korean War - his lineage was
partly in Pennsylvania and South Carolina before
migrating into Kentucky and Ohio and then on
into the midwest. Together we have dozens
of grandfathers in the American Revolution and
the Civil
War.

.I have
uploaded records, photos, documents to the web
and most can be found through the searchbox
below if the links still work. Some servers keep
changing things around and items get lost but
eventually if you search within www.usgenweb.com the
information will appear. I had once posted
on aol hometown pages but after ten years of
hard labor, they deleted that server and so did
rootschat.com, so while the freepages are
available they do hold a lot of wonderful
genealogy, but once they are gone, so is our
work.
