William M. Cochran

M, ID# 17530, b. 7 April 1807, d. 24 April 1853
  • Note*: He moved with his mother and some siblings to Maury County, Tennessee after his father died. He and Nancy moved to Greene County, Missouri about 1841 (about four years after their marriage) and about two years later to Dallas County, Texas, arriving there on 1 Mar 1843. It is said that he "broke the first sod that was ever turned for a field in Dallas county, in 1843" and that the first sermon preached in present Dallas County was at services held at the Cochran home on 19 Mar 1844. He was elected the first county clerk of Dallas County when the county was organized in 1846 and was elected to the Texas Legislature in August 1847. They lived on Farmers Branch in Dallas County until 24 Dec 1850, when they moved into their new home a few miles south of Farmers Branch, in Dallas County, near where Cochran Chapel United Methodist Church now stands.11,12,13,14

Nancy Jane Hughes

F, ID# 17531, b. 24 October 1817, d. 16 October 1877

Nancy Jane Hughes Cochran.
  • Obituary*: "Mrs. Nancy Cochran, aged sixty years, died Tuesday morning at the residence of her son, Wm. Cochran. The venerable lady was the wife of one of the earliest pioneers of Texas, and a most worthy and excellent wife and mother. She leaves a large circle of friends and relatives and several children, among whom is the Hon. John H. Cochran, representative in the legislature from this county."11
  • Note*: • She was thirty-five years old when her husband died in April 1853 and was left with six children aged from twenty-seven months to fifteen years old, and another child had died less than three weeks earlier. "His widow, a pious and resolute woman, took charge of the family of six children, and reared them to honorable manhood and womanhood."
    • She donated the land for Cochran Chapel Methodist Church, the oldest church in Dallas.
    • An elementary school in Dallas is named for her.
    • Her obituary in the Dallas Herald says she died on Tuesday morning, which would be 16 October, but other later sources say she died on 15 October.12,13,14,15,16
