From Internet Tree:
The first mention of Samuel Cochran is in the 1764 tax list of Cornwall Parish, Lunenburg County, Virginia. This portion of Lunenburg was soon cut off to form Charlotte County. Samuel Cochran again appears in Charlotte County on 10 July 1766 as he receives a grant of 281 acres on the Horn-Snake Branch.
Samuel Cochran had moved from Charlotte County to Bedford County, which is one county to the west, sometime before 1779. In that year his two daughters married Davidson brothers in Bedford County, and Samuel is mentioned as "of Bedford county" in the September land transaction involving the 281 acres of land in Charlotte County that he sold to Thomas Sowell. In 1781, Campbell County was formed out of the eastern end of Bedford County. The Cochran land was part of this new county. In June 1782, Samuel proved to the satisfaction of the county court that he had provided rope during the Revolutionary War to Christopher Irvine,commissary of Provisions. This patriotic service has established his descendants for membership in the Daughters of the American Revolution.
On this date, Samuel Cochran received a grant of 200 acres of land in Wilkes county, Georgia. So far as is known, he lived on this land, which fell into Ogelthorpe county in 1793, until his death around 1792.
Samuel Cochran made his will in 1791 making bequests to his wife Marah, and to his children Elizabeth, Jennet, Thomas, John, Samuel, William, and Micajah. He nominated his son John and "my friend" Benjamin Baldwin to act as his wife's executors. For some reason, Balwin did not accept the trust, and in July 1792, John and Mary Cochrane qualified as executors, with John McElroy as their security. Mary Sapp writes that "there is a power of attorney in Charlotte County, Virginia, from Mary Ramsey to her "friend" Samuel Cochran, appointing him to go to the province of Pennsylvania and receive whatever was due her from the estate of her former husband, Thomas Hunter. My theory is that this Mary Ramsey was the mother, and Thomas Hunter the father of Mary/Marah, the wife of Samuel Cochran, Sr. The evidence to support my theory is slim, but Samuel and Mary did name their oldest child Thomas, and the given name "Hunter" survives in my branch (William Cochran) to this day. Hunter Cochran, a member of the Ole Miss "Oxford Blues" was killed at the battle of Gettysburg."

Below, I will post a summary of what I know about Samuel Cochran of Virginia and Georgia.
THE IMMEDIATE FAMILY OF SAMUEL COCHRAN AND HIS WIFE, MARAH (OR MARY)
My most remote known Cochran ancestor is Samuel Cochran who died in Wilkes County, Georgia, in 1791 or 1792. We are fortunate that in his will, he mentioned his 300 acres of land in Campbell County, Virginia, so that we know just where to look for the family in Virginia. The first mention of him so far found in Virginia is in the 1764 tax list of Cornwall Parish, Lunenburg: County (1). Cornwall Parish was that area of Lunenburg County which, in 1765, was cut off to form Charlotte County, and it is in Charlotte County that we continue to find Samuel Cochran. On July 10, 1766, he received a grant of 281 acres of land on Horn-snake Branch in Charlotte County (2).
Samuel's son, Thomas Cochran (later seen with other spellings) was born in 1760, so Samuel, himself, probably was born not later than about 1740, and could have been born a good deal earlier than that. Other than Thomas' date of birth, we have no other evidence upon which to base Samuel's age.
Sometime previous to February 6, 1779, Samuel moved his family to Bedford County, Virginia, the next county westward from Charlotte, and there, on February 6, 1779, James Davidson, Jr. obtained a license to marry Janet Cockrane, her parents, Samuel and Mary Cockrane, giving their consent (3). Surety was James Davidson, Sr. Later in 1779, on August 23rd, David Davidson received license to marry Elizabeth Cockran with consent of her father, Samuel Cockran. James Davidson was security (3).
On September 6, 1779, Samuel Cochran "of Bedford County" sold to Thomas Sowell the 281 acres of land in Charlotte County (4). Mary, wife of Samuel, relinquished her right of dower.
Campbell County, Virginia, was formed in 1781-1782 from the eastern end of Bedford, and Samuel and Mary Cochran's land fell into the new county; we know from Samuel's will that at the time of his death, he still owned land there. Despite efforts of several researchers, both amateur and professional, no record has ever been found to show how he acquired the land in Campbell County, or how it later was disposed of. His will directed that it be sold, but no deed has been found in the records of either Campbell County, Virginia, or of Wilkes or Oglethorpe County, Georgia; researchers have looked for deeds not only under the name Cochran, but under the names of the daughters' husbands and under the names of Samuel's executors.
The Cochrans still were in Campbell County on June 6, 1782 when Samuel proved to the satisfaction of the County Court that he had provided rope during the Revolutionary War to Christopher Irvine, Commissary of Provisions(5) and this patriotic service has established the eligibility of his descendants for membership in the Daughters of the American Revolution.
By February 9, 1785, the family had moved to Georgia, for on that date, Samuel Cochran received a grant of 200 acres of land in Wilkes County, Georgia (6). So far as is known, he lived on this land - which fell into Oglethorpe County when it was created in 1793 - until his death in either 1791 or 1792. He made his will in 1791 (7) making bequests to his wife, Marah, and to his children Elizabeth, Jennet, Thomas, John, Samuel, William and Micajah. He nominated his son John and 'my friend" Benjamin Baldwin to act with his wife as executors. For some reason, Benjamin Baldwin did not accept the trust, and in July of 1791 (or 1792 - records are ambiguous) John Cochran and Mary Cochran qualified as executors, with John MuckleRoy (otherwise McElroy) as their security (8).
Mary, William and Samuel Cochran appeared on the tax lists of the new county, Oglethorpe, through 1796, after which Mary was no longer listed (9). She must have died or remarried, and since no marriage record has been found for her in Oglethorpe or any surrounding county, it seems most probable that she died in 1796 or 1797. Samuel, Jr. is the only one of the children known to have made his permanent home in Georgia.
IN SUMMARY:
1. SAMUEL COCHRAN (born not later than ca 1740; died in 1791 or 1792 in Wilkes County, Georgia) married, probably in Virginia, MARY/MARAH ________ who survived him. Children mentioned in Samuel's will were:
2. Elizabeth Cochran who married, in Bedford County, Virginia, August 23, 1779, David Davidson. I have made no serious effort to trace this couple, but I believe they stayed in Campbell County, Virginia.
3. Jennet Cochran who married, in Bedford County, Virginia, February 6, 1779, James Davidson, Jr. There is a possibility that this couple went to Georgia for the name James Davidson is seen as a landowner and neighbor of Samuel Cochran in Wilkes County. Casual efforts to trace them in Georgia have been unsuccessful.
4. Thomas Cochran (born in Lunenburg [later Charlotte] County, Virginia, April 8, 1760; died in Adair County, Kentucky, February 16, 1849) married, in Campbell County, Virginia, bond dated July 26, 1788, Obedience Blankenship (born in Virginia not later than ca 1774; probably died in Adair County, Kentucky, before her husband's death), daughter of Hudson Blankenship. On his marriage bond, Thomas' surname was spelled Coharn; in Kentucky, it was spelled variously, including Cothren and Cothran.
5. John Cochran. Samuel stated in his will, "Whereas my son John has received his co-equal part of my property during my life, I now give and bequeath to him only Five pounds to be raised out of the Sale of my Lands in Virginia." John was nominated as one of the executors of the will, and he, along with Samuel's widow, Mary/Marah, made executors' bond, but then John just fades away.
6. Samuel Cochran, Jr. (born in (?Bedford County), Virginia, ca 1772; died in Oglethorpe County, Georgia, in March 1850) lived and died in Oglethorpe County, Georgia. He married there, October 2, 1797, Rhoda Scoggins, and apparently later married again, for his widow's name was Sarah, but no record of this second marriage has been found. He died testate in Oglethorpe County in 1850.
7. William Cochran (born in Bedford County, Virginia, in 1774; died in Fayette County, Tennessee, ca 1827 or 1828), married, in Oglethorpe County, Georgia, December 22, 1798, Elizabeth ("Betsy") Owen. daughter of Augustus/Augustine and Elizabeth (--------) Owen. They remained in Oglethorpe County until the 1820s, when they moved westward to Jefferson County, Alabama, staying there but a few years before settling in Fayette County, Tennessee, where William died about 1827 or early 1828. William and Betsy were the parents of 13 children, many of whom made their permanent home in Marshall County, Mississippi, but two of whom were early settlers in Texas, and two of whom were in present-day Oklahoma as early as 1850.
8. Micajah Cochran (born September 12, 1780, probably in Virginia; died April 19, 1811 in Pendleton District, South Carolina) married, in Pendleton District, December 15, 1802, Ann Peyton Lynch (born in Virginia January 18, 1788; died in Noxubee County, Mississippi, February 27, 1878) daughter of William Lynch and Ann Moon, and had two sons and two daughters. Ann Peyton (Lynch) Cochran married as her second husband, Peyton Cochran (not further identified) and had by him four sons and four daughters.

Descendants of Samuel Cochran
Generation No. 1
1. SAMUEL COCHRAN was born Bef. 1743, and died 1791 in Wilkes Co., GA.
He married MARY Bef. 1779.
Notes for SAMUEL COCHRAN:
Samuel Cochran was on the 1764 tax list of Cornwall Parish, Lunenburg
County, Colony of Virginia. Cornwall Parish was in that part of
Lunenburg County that was cut off to form Charlotte County in 1765. He
had recieved a land grant of 281 acres on July 10, 1766, in Charlotte
County. When he sold this 281 acres on September 6, 1779, it was
described as being located on a branch of Cub Creek. (In 1738, a colony
of Scotch-Irish Presbyterians from Pennsylvania, which included some
Cochrans, bought over 30,000 acres of land in the area of the Colony of
Virginia which became Charlotte County and established a church known as
Cub Creek Presbyterian Church. The location of his grant would indicate
that Samuel lived in the Scotch-Irish community around Cub Creek, in
present Charlotte County, Virginia.) They had already moved to Bedford
County, Virginia when they sold this land in 1779. Bedford County was
divided in 1781-82, and the east end of the county became Campbell
County. On June 6, 1782, they were living in Campbell County, because
on this date Samuel proved to the satisfaction of the court that he had
furnished Christopher Irvine, Commissary of Provisions, with rope "for
leading beaves". This was ordered to be recorded in Order Book 1, page
65. On February 9, 1785, Samuel recieved a land grant of 200 acres in
Wilkes County, Georgia, where he lived until his death.
