From Book "Robert Moore, Sr. and Sarah Cochran, Pioneer Settlers of Brown County, Ohio:
They were buried in the family Cemetery of their plantation known as Carrollsburg Manor in Adams County, PA. Their graves were later removed to the Cemetery of Emmettsburg Presbyterian Church of Emmettsburg, Maryland. They came to Philadelphia in 1730 and stayed there until 1732 when William Cochran, in conjunction with two other men, bought 5000 acres of land from Barrister Carroll. THis land was, at the time, in Fredrick County, Maryland but when the permanent lines were drawn between Pennsylvania and Maryland, it lay in what was then Lancaster County and is now Adams County, Pennsylvania. William and Sarah Cochran had 10 childred, three of whom died when they were young of the plague.
_______________
William was the son of Thomas and Catherine COCHRAN of Carrakeel, County Londonderry
Believed children: Sarah, Andrew, James, William, Margaret, Jane, and John.
- The John listed in children below most probably is the son of Thomas, not of William and Sarah (this connection from other contributor).
