NOTES FROM FRANK E. COCKERHAM:
A conjecture was made that "Henry" Cockerham who married Fanny Greenwell on 8 January 1831 (Nathaniel Barker bondsman) was the youngest son of Humphrey. The actual marriage bond shows that it was Hardin Cockerham who made application to marry Fanny Greenwell and that bond was given by Harden Cockerham and Nathaniel Barker. In the place that the clerk wrote the bondsman's names for them to sign their mark, he mistakenly wrote Henry instead of Harden.
Harden Cockerham appeared in the 1834 Tax Lists of Wilkes County in John Holloway's list, along with presumed brothers Martin, Moses and James. No Wilkes county Cockerhams were listed outside of this tax district. Harden Cockerham was listed for 100 acres valued at $50, and was taxed for no white or black polls. One might conjecture that he only became 21 late in the year and hence married under age in 1831, or perhaps his heath was so poor that he was excused from the poll tax. The 1837 Tax List of Wilks County, made out in May 1838, did not list Harden Cockerham.
In 1839, Harden Cockerham was located in Floyd County Kentucky; one male over 21 years.
