Martin Baty Cochran was born 04 Sept 1831 in the Mexican Province of Texas, Spanish "Atascosito District" thatlater became Newton Co., the family was there when the Mexican Province of Texas became The Republic Of Texas in 1836. He married Isabella Elizabeth West, daughter of Levi West Sr.and Winnie Elizabeth Bivens, in Newton County Texas in 1850. In 1852 he moved along with his wife's family to the Luling area of Caldwell County Texas to farm land inherited from Levi West, Sr. He served during the Civil War with his wife's brothers in the 31st Texas Calvary in William Hardman's Rgt. from Caldwell Co. Texas. After the Civil War he returned to farm and ranch the land in Caldwell Cty.
After 1890 he moved with his wife and family to the Wimberley area of Hays County Texas.

Newton County was originally part of the Spanish"Atascosito District" and under Mexican rule it became "Liberty District." In 1835, the present county was part of what was known as "Municipality of Bevil" or Bevil's District. After Texas's independence, the district was divided into Liberty, Jefferson and Jasper counties. At that time Jasper county included the land between the Neches and the Sabine rivers, but in 1846 Jasper county was cut in half, and Newton county was created from the eastern half.
