Luella Coonfield Cochran's grandfather was born in Kentucky 1843 and claimed to be Cherokee. He moved to Arkansas after his wife Catherine Crigler died. John was the son of Catherine Wright and Hiram Lucius Little. Catherine Wright's mother was Catherine Weatherford, a daughter of Charles according to the Virginia records online. Researching Charlotte Virginia, I found a young Charles Weatherford who could have been her brother and then a Patsy Weatherford who might have been her mother. Family legend is that John's family refused a land allotment in Indian nation Oklahoma, but it is a mystery as to why he chose to move to Arkansas.
