The first child was Mary (Polly) born 9/16/1798 in Oglethorpe Co. She married John Hardman, Nov. 25, 1815, in Oglethorpe Co. She died July 19, 1871 in Dekalb.

The second child was a boy and did not live.

The third was John, born Nov. 10,1801, in Oglethorpe and died Dec. 8, 1882 in Dekalb.

The third was my GG grandfather, Seaborn, born March 29, 1804 in Oglethorpe and died March 16, 1892 in Dekalb. This is the murky one. If Samuel did marry Sally Furlow from Greene Co. on March 23, 1802, then Seaborn is Sally's and it looks like Rhoda died after John was born.

My family lore has it that these were the three children, but a review of census info shows a lot more coming along in future years. Samuel's will did not name his children, only Sarah his wife. These are the three who moved to Dekalb. The others seemed to stay put or go farther afield.

So, Mary and John belonged to Rhoda for sure. John married Julia Sims in Oglethorpe.

this should get you started down some new lines. I have a lot more info but am in process of re-entering it and re-documenting it. I had a hard drive failure without a backup. Stupid me. Fortunately I did have a recent printout of the Cochran info.
