About Our Family Research


Named after my great grandmother Lorena Bozeman McClain who was born in 1890 Ramer, Montgomery, Alabama, I have thoroughly enjoyed writing about this great lady and her heritage.

After my parents passed away and my husband died of cancer, I began to write about them and their family trees when I was unable to sleep.

Our families have traveled many miles and intertwined in the same communities, some knowing each other, many moons ago.

Lorena was named after her mother Alice Lorena Stephens and the story was that Alice's great grandfather was in the American Revolution and married to a full blood Cherokee, giving her a Biblical name. Indian unrest was so bad in the Carolinas, they packed up and moved to Dublin and Ramer in Alabama. Records indicate there were several Stephens Plantations in that area once, near many other migrating families like Broadway, Bozeman, Gibson, Timmons, Dillard, Money, Hill, Gardener, McClain, Anderson, Sellers, with most of their children intermarrying
.

My daddy, Frankie Lavern Cochran born 1927 Chetopa Kansas, baptised in a creek at the age of 12, was married in 1951 to Anne Alice Carter who was born in 1934 at Montgomery Alabama. His parents were Frank Delbert Cochran of Hill City, Graham, Kansas and Luella Ellen Coonfield of Benton, Arkansas.

Frank Delbert's parents were Clora Jane Miller of Illinois and Jacob Benjamin Cochran of Ohio and he served in the Civil War, then moved to Iowa for several years

Parents of Jacob were Martha Henderson and Alexander Cochran of Ohio

Parents of Clora were Mary Clara Parker and James Miller.

Parents of Mary were Sara Tefft and Archelaus Parker of New York

Luella Coonfield's parents were Lattie Cedonia Little of Kentucky and Benjamin Wallace Coonfield of Arkansas and he served in the Civil War.

Lattie's parents were Mary Catherine Crigler and John Wright Little of Kentucky

Benjamin's parents were Martha Frances Young and Benjamin Wylie Coonfield of Indiana.

Anne's parents were Emily Alice McClain and Cecil Earl Fenn Carter of Montgomery. Anne named a daughter Kathy Lorena who was born in Broken Arrow, Tulsa, Oklahoma..

Cecil Earl Carter's parents were Annie Lou Stone and William Franklin Fenn of Bullock County Alabama who divorced about 1900 and remarried later, so Cecil was adopted.

Parents of Anna were Mary Ann Hendrick and Augustus Marvin Stone

Parents of William were Emeline Harrell and John Fenn of Georgia

Alice McClain's parents were Charles Allen McClain of Ramer.

Charles McClain's parents were Elizabeth Broadway and Josiah Marion McClain and he served in the Civil War.

Parents of Elizabeth were Mary Stephens and Abner Broadway

Lorena's parents were Alice Lorena Stephens ( who's father served in the Civil War ) and John Thomas Bozeman.

John's parents were Nancy Jane Anderson and Peter Edward Bozeman who also served in the Civil War.

Anne named a daughter Kathy Lorena who was born in Broken Arrow, Tulsa, Oklahoma..

Kathy married Charles Wayne Brooks, the son of Mary Ella Thornton and James Edgar Brooks.

Parents of Mary Ella were Bessie Mae Hood and Milton Elijah Thornton. Parents of Bessie were Ella Olivia Baxley ( who's father, James, served in the Civil War) and L W. Hood of Elmore County.

Milton's parents were Mary Angeline Partridge and George Thornton of Georgia.

Parents of James Brooks Jr. were Susie Mae Cooper and James Edgar Brooks of Montgomery.

Susie's parents were Sarah Elizabeth Carter and Levi Benjamin Cooper, both had fathers serving in the Civil War

Sarah's parents were Mary Josephine Herreferd of Virginia and Thomas Randolph Carter who was previously married to Lacy Jane Bozeman of Hope Hull.

Levi Cooper had worked on the farm of Carter - Levi's parents were Sarah F. Lee and Charner P. Cooper of Chambers County.

Parents of James Brooks Sr were Annie Clark Ballard and John Edwin Brooks of Tennessee.

Parents of Annie were Dora Craig and James Cal Ballard of Tennessee.

Dora's parents were Rebecca Carolina Pennington and William Craig

Parents of John Brooks were Roxanna Permilia Smith of Tennessee and John Brooks of Pennyslvania and his father Hans was from Holland.

Roxanna's parents were Caroline Bond and Thomas Smith

My genealogy is about all of these families and where they came from. Most had grandfathers who served in the American Revolution

My search box is for my webpages only so if you type in a name, everything that I have worked up should appear.

Happy Hunting!!!

Seaborne had a brother named Elijah who died in the Civil War 1861 and home was listed as Hickory Grove. Hickory Grove is also where our Grandpa McClain lived.

    some of Ben's siblings are born in Indian Territory but he shows born in Texas - all citizens are listed as white. There is another Johnson family living next to them.

  • 1920 Carrie Fenn in Alabama with her father (701 KB)
    on Commerce Street with her stepmother Eva, we do not know why Carrie/ Carolyn never lived with her own mother, but her father was ill and she stayed. Her brother Emmett is also there but we do not know why they show his middle initial as J when his middle name was Marvin, but census officials were not perfect and if Eva was the person giving out the information, she probably had no clue. Eva Dakota Fenn was very young too !!

The researchers of his son John claim that John was half Cherokee so the other sons would also be half blood. This makes sense since nothing is known about his wife and his marriage is not recorded anywhere thus far - some speculate that his wife was called Elizabeth

      Sarah Lee and Charner Cooper married - he served in the Civil War and their son Levi moved to Montgomery and worked on the farm of Thomas R. Carter and fell in love with Carter's daughter Sarah, whom he married and had a daughter named Susie Mae Cooper. They came from the Lee and Cooper families of Chambers County and lived not far from each other. Family says that Elijah Lee might have bought his land from a Creek Indian and they surely lived in Creek Indian Territory.

    Ancestors and Descendents of.....

    Luella was born 2/8/1897 in Benton County Arkansas
    and died 5/11/1945 in a Kansas City Missouri Hospital
    after an 80 day stay that we were told was cancer related;
    some say she died from surgical mistakes made at a previous hospital.

    She was married to Frank Delbert Cochran

    Her parents were Benjamin Wallace Coonfield and Lattie Cedonia Little.

    I never knew my grandma Luella but heard many wonderful stories about her. Dad talked of watching her sit in the fields for hours filling her apron with herbs, polk, whatever was good for the family. She was a strong, loving lady who came from a long line of pioneers and soldiers and worked hard to care for her loved ones and teach them honor and respect. Dad also said her long black hair reached the floor when she brushed it out. Luella was very spiritual and kept many handwritten notes in her Bible, which was handed down to her by her mother.

    Possibly some of those notes were written by her parents.

    Luella was one quarter Cherokee plus some Creek. It's been said that some of her Wright cousins were offered land allotments in the Oklahoma Indian Territory, but this author has not yet recovered any documentation of it.

    Many of the surnames in this family are found on the Indian Rolls in Oklahoma, yet a direct connection to this line has not been found.

  • 1810 Alexander Cochran in Gettysburg Township (162 KB)
    located in Adams County, PA with 14 family members and searching the census pages near him I find NO familiar names other than a Thomas Cochran with 13 family members. Names of wife and children were not added to these census records so one can only speculate unless they locate a will in the state's will book for more evidence of this man's legacy.

    Peter and Thomas are found here. Thomas may be the father of Sarah Sturgeon who married John Clendenning. I tried to trace the parents of Thomas and his mother Sarah Ferguson and believe that her father was a Thomas Ferguson found in the area. Alexander Douglass is on this page too!
  • 1790 Alexander Cochran in Mifflin PA (147 KB)
    this shows he has 11 children in 1790 ?? This census record only shows head of household and not where he came from, so we can assume he is from Scotland or from Ireland - maybe a large family came over the sea or perhaps the other family trees online are only made up from speculation. In the 1800s there were dozens of Alexanders in census records and dozens more of the Williams so they could all possibly be related to this one Alexander. It would be very difficult for anyone to be certain of the connections to this one man.
  • 1800 Molley Douglass (283 KB)
    Edgefield SC - since I ran across Alexander Douglass with the Sturgeons, I felt like finding his wife after he passed away. IF this is our Mary Molley, she has not yet married George Little - Remember that her husband went on a survey with Molley's brother John Handley to Kentucky and was murdered on the way back to Pennsylvania - she feared the Indians and left.

    hard to find Clendenning on census records but people often changed the spelling of their names - Nancy Clendenning married a William Henderson about 1797 in PA....some were found in North Carolina and I wonder if they migrated to Pennsylvania....the search continues for this line.

    The first Home Steaders of the City, arriving from Iowa Territory after many years in Guernsey Ohio.

    Jacob and his first wife with six daughters appeared on the 1870 census of Iowa, then his second wife on the 1880, as they prepared for the long journey south.

    Much of their families lived near them and some even followed Jacob to Kansas.

    Some of his children and grandchildren and great grands remain in Kansas while some ventured elsewhere and began a vast lineage of their own in Arizona, California, Colorado,Missouri, Oklahoma and Alabama.

    From Bullock County Alabama to Montgomery, Carrie married after 1920 to Ben Johnson of Choctaw Nation, Texas. They are found on the 1930 census of Creek, Oklahoma.

    Her parents were Anna Stone and Wm Frank Fenn who had married in 1893 Bullock County and they had six children before divorcing soon after the 1900 census, where Anna joined her parents in Macon, Bibb, Georgia. Carrie was the first born child, then Frank Jr., Arthur, Robert, Emmett, and Cecil who claimed to be Cherokee. They were all very tall, dark and handsome. Family lore is that Frank Jr., told his children that Carrie and Cecil were only his "half" sibling.....

    Ben's parents were America Emeline Mills and Nathaniel B. Johnson of Alabama, who moved around a lot, into Arkansas, and into Texas, where the census indicates some children born in Indian Territory. Some of Nathaniel's siblings may have also been born in Indian Territory.

    Nat named a daughter Ellen after his sister.

    Ellen Gray Johnson, b July 12,1856 Springfield Alabama, d April 26,1952 Monument, Lea County New Mexico, she married William Fletcher Weir, on Dec 16,1881, Brady , Mc Culloch County Texas( I have original Certificate) William Weir wa sborn Dec 19,1854 Polk Missouri, d August 8 ,1937 Monument , lea County Texas, they lived in Texas until early 1906 , when they went by covered wagon with their 8 children to Lea County NM, William purchased the famous, historical Hat Ranch.

    Nat also had a sister named Louisa Powell.

    Nathaniel's mother was Mary Ann Macon and her ancestors had something to do with the founding of Macon County Alabama. Ironically Carrie Fenn's father was also born in Tuskegee, Macon County, Alabama.

    The story of Ben returning to Alabama is unknown. It is also unknown how he met our Aunt Carrie. They had only one child, a daughter named Dorothy and how her name is special to them, is another mystery to uncover.

    Brooks Families of the South.

    ......Hans Brooke had three boys and one girl....Henry, Edward, John and Lula Christine....They settled in Reading PA. The parents died leaving minor children, and the little girl was adopted...John, our grandfather, was bound out to a tailor to learn that trade....He was very unhappy and ran away, arriving in Columbia TN about 1860 and we find him on the Giles County 1860 census in TN working as a tailor but as John Brooks...That year he married Roxanna Permilia Smith

    She was just breaking up with her other boyfriend, Doctor Crittendon Smith and fell in love with John Brooks...John and RP had Walter and Nora before joining a wagon train to Texas where John, Lula, Nimrod and Tom were born......

    ...John died in 1882 of tuberculosis and is buried in Paris TX. Roxanna went back to TN to marry Doctor Terry Crittendon Smith. He actually heard she was widowed and went to Texas to marry her and bring her back to TN. They lived and died in Sandy Hook, Tennessee.

    Their son John married Annie Clark Ballard and had only one child, James Edgar Brooks - soon they moved to Montgomery Alabama.

    The Smith and Ballard families came out of North Carolina about 1800 migrating into Tennessee's Indian Territory.

    Permilia named her first son Walter Brooks, and this author finds no Walter in the lineage,so why use this name? and another son JOHN Edwin but the census looks like his middle initial was H., and JOHN married Annie Clark Ballard in TN and they moved to Alabama being transferred with the railroad and then lived on Adams Avenue near the train station. Annie had only one child, James Edgar Brooks, who became a bookkeeper with the State, and later married Susie Mae Cooper who soon named her own son James Edgar Brooks Jr., a daughter Christine . Susie was the daughter of Sarah Elizabeth Carter and Levi Benjamin Cooper of Chambers County AL.

    Annie's photo shows dark black hair and coal black eyes. Annie's parents were both born in Tennessee, James Calvin Ballard and Willie Eudora Craig but their ancestors migrated from the Carolinas. "Dora's" mother was Rebecca Caroline Pennington and she married William Craig in 1860. Rebecca's mother was only known as "Gracy" who married William Pennington, and his mother was only known as "Kezziah" born about 1750 in South Carolina.

    Her mother was Caroline Bond, daughter of a John Baptist Bond of North Carolina. Parents of Caroline Bond ( who married 3 times? ) were John Baptist Bond and Kitty Stone. Many researchers are looking into the Stone name as being of Cherokee Blood.

    In Georgia was Joseph Baxley born 1815 married to Mary Evans and making their way into Alabama. Their son James married Louisa Miranda Holt and they resided in "Holtville" in Elmore County AL. Also in Elmore County was L. W. Hood who married their daughter Ella Olivia Baxley. Ella's daughter Bessie married a Milton Elijah Thornton in Elmore County. Elijah's parents also came out of Georgia, Mary Angeline Partridge amd George Thornton. Elijah's daughter Mary Ella married James Brooks. Mary Ella's granddaughter married Westbrook.

    "I have Cherokee blood in me. I have just enough white blood for you to question my honesty!"Will Rogers


    With so many families in former Creek Nation Alabama, it is quite possible we are mixed.

    Frankie was honest, hard working and faithful, grew up on a farm, some education until he joined the Air Force. Baptised in a creek in Chetopa Kansas and read his Bible every day. His word was law and his friends knew that he always had a place at the dinner table for them or an extra chair by the fish pond.

    He served in Korea as a copilot of a bomber plane and was wounded and sent back to Maxwell AFB in Alabama where he then told his brother Freelon that it was too hot for him to go there and Freelon went to Korea anyway and died in a truck incident.

    Several in my family have had special gifts, the gift of knowing and seeing, the gift of healing or the ability to stop bleeding. Dad had several true premonitions and the night before he passed away, he held me in his arms saying I love you more than you will ever know and he was gone on that Christmas morning.

    His sister was born with a veil over her face. His aunt heard ticking in the wall before a loved one died. His granny Clora smoked a pipe and could read the ashes. He witnessed many healings by my mom's granny and he was very close to her. Most made their own medicines. He spoke of his mother spending hours in the field gathering herbs.

    He found peace at the fish pond, that is where he could be found on the weekends and I feel now that he is at peace with his elders and loved ones while guiding me along this journey of love.

    Little Family Tree Research :
    all things connected to Captain George Little of Scotland. There has been much speculation as to the birth dates of his children with a Scottish wife, Mary. My thoughts from browsing the 1790 Union District census records are:
    He was born 1733...age 21 when he came to America ( 1754 ) married and then 10 children.....was in war 1776 at age 43 for two years in the Third Regiment of the Colonial Army..was Sargent, Lieutenant, then Captain until Tarleton's men shot him in the hip causing disability......on 1790 census with 10 others in household....I would suspect that since I find no record of all of his daughters and their husbands that it is possible some married and stayed home to take care of the ailing father.

    Wouldnt his wife be too old for childbirth after the war?

    1790 census shows a Jonas, John, Joseph each in their own household...are they his children or brothers or no relation? They have children!! If Jonas did not marry Betsy Douglass until she was 18, perhaps he had a previous marriage...However if OUR Jonas Little was not born until 1780, as indicated on Laura Little's DAR lineage report, then the guy we see on the 1790 census is "someone else". I personally think that she estimated his date of birth as so many did back then.

    Joseph and John Jr are in Colonel Brandon's regiment in 1790 so he is obviously married with family long before they all moved away from SC into TN and KY. So Joseph could have been born around 1750 and his brother's son about 1770 for them both to be in a 1790 regiment ! John shows 9 family members in his household so he's at least been married 10 years.

    So the estimated birth dates on other family trees have to be incorrect - these men had to be born before the war and not after....besides at the age of their parents, it might be impossible. Perhaps locating the other sons, William and Thomas, will give us more clues.

    George and Mary's daughters were born in the 1760s and I would feel certain that the sons were also........This couple had at least 20 years together before the war and the children were all likely born long before he became disabled. He apparently could not have children with Mary Douglass when they married - in fact there is no record of her having any children after being with Alexander Douglass.

    The only other possible theory is that George Little might have come to America with several brothers and they all settled into South Carolina.
