Mary "Polly" was from the first marriage to Rhoda Scoggins. I am conjecturing, having looked at many census pages for Oglethorpe and Greene Co. GA that the second wife, Sarah of the will, was Sarah Furlow from Greene Co. who married Samuel in 1802. If that is indeed true, then my gggrandfather Seaborn belonged to Sarah not to Rhoda and so would all the other girls. Family lore has it that Seaborn belonged to Rhoda. If so, he had to be born before the 1802 marriage. Rhoda had Mary born in 1798, an unknown male born before 1800, John born in 1801 and ??Seaborn born in 1804. Neal Furlow Cochran, b. abt. 1808, appears in Oglethorpe Co. censuses and is the right age to have been Samuel's son and if so that would confirm the Sarah Furlow connection. After William, Sam's brother, left Oglethorpe, Samuel was the only Cochran there, so I suspect all Cochrans in the early and middle 1800s belonged to him. Neal died young between 1855-1860 and I have searched Furlow records but cannot make definitive connection. If anyone can help, I would love it.
