  1. 1.  Martin (Owsley) COCKERHAM was born in 1829 in Estill County, Kentucky; died about 1880 in Lee County, Kentucky.

    Notes:

    1850 Census Owsley Co. KY, NA roll # 216 p.291
    James Cockrum 28 M farmer $900 b. NC
    Emlia 24 F b. NC
    John 7 M b. NC
    James 4 M b. NC
    William 2 M b. NC
    William 23 M laborer b. NC c/r/w
    Martin 21 M laborer $75 c/r/w

    Clearly, at this point, William and Martin were living with a uncle to help manage the larger portion of their fathers farm. William Cockerham does not appear on the 1860 census. He may have had failing health at this time, and asked a brother to help with a harvest, or planting at this time. This was probably James Buck Cockerham. Martin Cockerham was the father of James Buck, and probably Martin's godfather. Additionally, this census indicates that everyone was born in NC. At this point, I am going to establish James's age and fill in his sheet untill I get better information. 11/6/97.
