      Daniel Chandler Cockerham and his wife Mary lived at the "Perkins Place", about 4 miles from Jonesville (VA?). His Daughters where there.

      Daniel Chandler Cockerham migrated to Surry Co. NC in 1776

      Daniel Chandler Cockerham enlisted as a private in a company commanded by Capt. Absolom Bostick for 3 months. This was the regiment commanded by Col. James Martin. He also served 3 months in Captian James Sheppards company

      Daniel and Sarah was buried on the home farm in Surry Co. NC (present day Yadkin Co.)

      A few months before he died, Daniel Chandler Cockerham asked for his twin Grandsons, Frances Marion Cockerham and George Washington Cockerham, whom he had named after his two heros, to come to his knees. He told them,"Well, I have been through one war and now the country is free, and there will never be any more fighting. So you, my little grandchildren, will never have to go to war." This was to cause George Washington Cockerham personal pain when he fought in the Civil War.

      Per Ina Stott:
      Register: State Census of North Carolina 1784-1787
      Surry Co. : Mosses Cockram
      1 white male 21-60
      4 white males under 20, over 60
      6 white females
      1 black
      the same census of 1790 refects Daniels numbers
      There hasn't been a relationship shown yet for Mosses Cockram, but possibly he may be an uncle from either Halifax or Lunenburg
