About Judge Michael Cochran

Birth location listed on Find A Grave as Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, This could have originally been Armstrong County.

Cochrans Mills was named for Judge Cochran. The area was originally called Pitts Mills. Judge Cochran was quite respected and it was decided to rename the area in his honor in 1855 after his term of judge ended.

I have found places where Judge Cochran's birthdate is listed as May 22nd. I have also found places where his birth year is listed as 1870. However, the dates I have listed on the official profile is taken from his tombstone.
