Family histories in general that have come to my own notice, have been rather tiresome and uninteresting because of their extreme length, and absence of anecdote to enliven their pages. I flatter myself that my work is different, because of the free use of extracts from standard authoritit:::, and I hope this use may prove an incentive to further research, on the part of my reader; to send him back to the original sources to refresh his memory, and to make him appreciate, by comparison, his own happy lot. The authors and publishers quoted have been most kind in permitting me the use of their works, whether of copyright in force, or expired. Other sources of information have been State and County Records, the crumbling gravestones, old deeds, the voluntary contributions of the various branches of the same family trunk, the Cochrans. I have endeavored to be authentic, and to refrain from criticism or unpleasant comment, or a too close adherence to presenting rigid detaii in some cases. I have also tried to weld a chain of events, from the earliest mention in the year 1262 to the present time; most of the links being furnished by others. mine only the part to assemble them. Hoping for a favorable reception from this same critical public. I am Very truly yours, IDA CocHR.\N H.-\UGHTON. COLUMBUS, Omo, November. 1915. 8 PART ONE SCOTTISH HISTORY DERIVATION OF THE NAllE COCHRANE. (From Ancient Woodbury, by Judge William H. Cothern.) '•The name "Cochrane" is derived from two Gaelic words, which together signify "the roar of war," "the battle cry," viz.: cog., v.n., to war or to fight; whence Co-gai-che, adj., warlike: ran, genitive rain, a roar, a loud cry or shriek. It was variously spelled by the Highland Scots ; Co-gach-ran, Co-gaich-er-an, Co-gach-rain, Co-gaich-er-ain, Cog-ran, and Cog-rain, with guttural sound of first syllable of which, being afterwards represented by the proper letters of modem Gaelic, gives Cochran, or -rane, or -rain. When surnames were first assumed by men, they had a significance, and represented some characteristic of the appropriator, or some cir­ cumstance in r:elation to his personal history. From occupations comes Cook, Farmer, etc.; from complexions comes White, Brown, etc.; some came from places ; others again describe some mental or physical quality, or personal incident in the life of the possessor." The reason for taking the name of Cochrane is not known beyond the fact that they are all born fighters, and are to be found enrolled with soldiery or military from earliest mention down to the present time. Some who have not achieved distinction by means of arms, have done so by strategy and forensic ability. The name, to my way of thinking, as to its general meaning, or significance, is very appropriate to the families I have known intimately. EARLIEST MENTION IN HISTORY * "The first known of the name is \Yaldenus-de-Coveran or Cochran, a witness to the charter of date Wednesday, twenty days after the feast of St. Hilary in 1262. The next of the name on record is William of Cochran, who signed submission to King Edward the First, in the Ragman Roll of 1296. John of Cochrane, the next on record in 1346. Glasmus Goscelinus, or Casmus de Cochran, next • Scot's Peerage. Crawford. Volume Three. 11 12 CHRONICLES OF THE COCHRANS appears in 1367. He is styled Casmus de Cowran, and is succeeded by his son, William, who is probably the one who received a ratification of the barony of Cochrane from King Robert the Second, on Septem• her 22, 1389. He was succeeded by his son and heir, Robert Cochrane, who was succeeded by a son, John. In the Paisley rental book of 1460, there are various entries of the assessment of John Cochran, then living at Lincliff, whence William Cochrane of that Ilk, dated his will in 1603. It would appear, therefore, that Lincliff was their residence before the building of Cochrane Place. John Cochrane was succeeded by his son Allan in 1480. Allan left two sons, James and Robert. James succeeded in 1484; followed by Robert in 1493. Robert was succeeded by his son John, who was seized in the lands of Cochrane and Corseford in 1489. In 1500 he obtained a license under the Privy Seal, to sell or mortgage all his lands of Nether-Cochrane in Renfrewshire, and of Pitfaur in Perthshire. In 1519 he sold the barony of Easter-Cochrane, which included Nether-Cochrane, to James Beaton, Archbishop of Glasgow. Crawford mentions this deed as being among the Dundonald charters in 1710, and that it carried the seal of John Cochrane, which showed three boar's heads erased, and was circumscribed S1GILLt!~I -JoHA:-l'NIS- DE-CocHRA:'\F.. John served heir to his father, May 12. 1530. Then vVilliam Cochrane obtained a charter at Edinburg, November 30. 1556. confirming to him as the son of John, the five l\lark-lands in the barony and county of Renfrew, which his father had resigned under a reservation of life rent. To this \Villiam is attributed the building of the "Freestone Tower," which was added to the manor-house of Cochrane. which since 1460. appears to have been known as Lincliff, or Place of Cochrane. After the building of the tower. it was known as "Cochrane Castle." It was to this castle. or the old tower-house of his ancestors. that Sir John made his escape in 1685 after the Argyll insurrection."

One of the points of difference between the bearings of the Royal and Parliamentary Burghs on the one hand and those of the I Police Burghs on the other lies in the fact that the former carry castles and ships to an extent which becomes almost monotonous, while among the latter these bearings are rare. On the other hand, the Police Burghs very frequently assume a charge of which A 079 2 Aberchirder. examples, in the blazonry of the Royal and Parliamentary Burghs, are very rare : this is the cross, derived apparently from the fact that their market-crosses are the most prominent of their ancient monuments.

    AUSTRALIAN JOINT COPYING PROJECT SIR THOMAS COCHRANE Papers, 1840-49 Reels M948-70 National Library of Scotland George IV Bridge Edinburgh EH1 1EW National Library of Australia State Library of New South Wales Filmed: 1976 BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE Sir Thomas John Cochrane (1789-1872), who was born in Edinburgh, was the son of Admiral Sir Alexander Cochrane (1758-1832) and his wife Maria. He entered the Royal Navy in 1796 as a volunteer on HMS Thetis, commanded by his father. He was made a lieutenant in 1805 and became a captain within a year. He served in the West Indies in 1807-9, taking part in the capture of the Virgin Islands and Martinique, and in North America in 1811-14. From 1820 to 1824 he commanded HMS Forte on the North America Station. In 1825 Cochrane was appointed the first governor of Newfoundland. After representative government was introduced in 1832, his relations with the colonists worsened and he was eventually recalled by the Colonial Office in 1834. He was a member of the House of Commons from 1839 to 1841. Cochrane was made a rear-admiral in 1841 and in 1842 he was appointed second in command of the East Indies Station. Based in Hong Kong, which had become a British colony following the 1839-40 Opium War, the East Indies Station extended from the Red Sea in the west to the Philippines and New Zealand in the east. When Admiral Sir William Parker returned to England in 1844, Cochrane succeeded him as commander-in-chief. At the same time, the Station was divided into two divisions, with the western (Indian Ocean) division headed by Commodore Sir Henry Blackwood and the China division headed by Cochrane.
