Frances (Fanny) GREENWELL

Notes:

Before the Federal Census of 1840, Harden Cockerham must have died, because Frances Cockreham appeared in the census as head of the family. She was listed in Floyd County , Kentucky, pg.264 in the 30-40 age group with one male under 5 and one male of 5-10 years.
In 1842 and 1843, Fanny or Frances appeared in the Floyd County Tax lists; then in October 1843 she married Benjamin Johnson. In the 1850 Census of Morgan County Kentucky, the household 827 of Benjamin Johnson, age 55, stone mason, contained Fanny, age 45, born in South Carolina, Elias, 17 born in North Carolina, and William, born in North Carolina, among others. The census taker failed to write down that Elias and William were Cockerhams, not Johnsons.
Married 2nd. Benjamin Albright Johnson, Oct. 10, 1844 Morgan Co. Ky. by Raney Maxey, Minister. She died in Portsmouth Ohio around 1864, having fled Ky on account of being threatened by Southern sympathizers.

NOTES FROM FRANK E. COCKERHAM:
The 1860 census of Linn County MO indicates that E.W. Cokerham, age 28, had been born in North Carolina and that his oldest child had been born in Missouri three years before. Elias Wilson Cokerham used this spelling of his surname throughout his long life in Linn County, MO.
