Research Notes:
John Jeremiah Cochran and William R Cochran both have DNA matches with Robert which suggest that they are related to Nancy Cochran. They were born too late to be siblings of Nancy, so this skipped generation with artificial name John Jeremiah Senior Cochran is a placeholder for an unknown generation.
DNA John Jeremiah Cochran. Pickett descendants are matched with descendants of Jeremiah Robert Cochran (1858-1925), son of John Jeremiah Cochran. Several descendants of Isaiah and Nancy Cochran Pickett are DNA matches to both Robert Wolfe and the descendants of Jeremiah Robert Cochran. We suspect that Ellen (born c 1848), spouse of Isaac Parker, was a sister of Jeremiah R Cochran, both children of John Jeremiah Cochran. A descendant of John Jeremiah Cochran reports that John Jeremiah's mother was named Morgan and that he had siblings named Nancy, Morgan, Thomas, William, Melissa, and Susan. Robert Wolfe has several DNA matches (administered by Charles Venable) with descendants of Ella Cochran (1848-1927), spouse of Isaac Parker (1852-1931). Several of these share matches with other descendants of Nancy Cochran.
