This is a cenotaph for William Winn COCKERHAM located in the Cockerham Cemetery in Monroe County, Mississippi showing his birth date as 1743 and death as 1811. Several of William Winn COCKERHAM'S descendants are buried in this cemetery, so the cenotaph was most certainly placed by his descendants, many years after his death in his memory.
However, the information regarding his regiment (10 VA Regt and 14 VA Regt) corresponds to the military records of William COCHRAN (sometimes spelled Cockerham) who was born 1747 or 1748 in Virginia (in Henry County); died in 1819 in Alabama about the same time William Winn COCKERHAM's family was also living in Alabama, but in different counties. William COCHRAN's family lived in Clarke and perhaps Washington AL; William Winn COCKERHAM's family lived in St Clair and Jefferson AL before they moved to Mississippi.
Therefore, all of the information on this cenotaph is called into question.
