About Jean Cochran

Marriage: 1770 (Age 18) Robert McFarland.

Tradition/Misc.: Jean Cochran (1743-1872 BB Pg 400, 419) who married Robert McFarland was the daughter of Stephen Cochran (1732-1790 BB Pg 400) and his wife Ann (1741-1783). This makes Stephen age 11 and Ann age 2 at Jean Cochran's birth an obvious problem here. Jean Cochran's dates are verified in the Church-Hill Cem. near Mercersburg, Franklin Co., PA, USA, her tombstone reads:

Robert McFarland

1740-1823

and his wife

Jean Cochran

1743-1827. *1

Death: (84 Years).
