Joseph a farmer of Wea Township, was born in Ross County, Ohio, April 8, 1815. His paternal grandfather, who was of Scotch ancestry, moved from Pennsylvania to Kentucky, in Boone's time, thence to Ohio, where John Cochran, father of Joseph, was reared, and married to Mary Flood, a native of the State of Delaware, and probably of Irish descent. They lived in Ross County until their death, John Cochran dying in 1819, and his wife about 1880 at a very advanced age.
Joseph, our subject, was brought up in his native county, and in 1836 immigrated to Tippecanoe County, Indiana, buying a quarter section of land the next year. The land was then partly fenced, and a small portion had been cultivated, and an old brick house was on the premises. In 1848 or 49, Mr. Cochran put up his present brick residence, and has occuppied the place of his first purchase up to the present time, prospering as a well managing farmer should. He has about 460 acres of land in several tracts. The grounds about the residence are tastefully set off with natural groves, which were mere patches of underbrush when Mr.Cochran first settled here, and all the improvements are of a handsome and substantial character. Having lived here for more than half a century Mr. Cochran is very prominently identified with the growth of the county. He was married in this county in 1838, to Miss Maria Carr, a native of Fayette County, Ohio, and daughter of William and Elizabeth Carr, who settled in Tippecanoe County during its primitive days, on the land adjoining, west of Mr. Cochran's present farm. They lived in this county until their death.
Mrs. Cochran died in 1860, and was buried in the old Thorp graveyard. Of the eleven children born to Mr. and Mrs. Cochran the following seven are living: William, in Wea Township; Martha Jane, wife of Cornelius Callahan, of La Fayette; Jackson and David, residents of Wea Township; Elizabeth; Nettie, wife of Wilbert Holmes, and Dora, who married Stephen Brady, and resides with her father. The deceased are — Charles, Mary and two who died in infancy unnamed. William was a soldier in the late war, serving in the One Hundred and Fiftieth Indiana Infantry. Since the war Mr. Cochran, the subject of the foregoing biography, bas been a Republican.
