This location in 2015 is now in the middle of runway 18L/36R at the Greater Cincinnati Airport. He was on the county tax list in 1829 and 1831, and was located here on the 1830 census. There are county deeds, not for this land, but for personal property, recorded in 1830 that state he was living there on land purchased by his son, John O. Cochran. But based on county deeds, his son did not buy the land until 1833, and he sold it in 1835. Possibly he was renting and paying taxes on the land from 1829 until it was purchased in 1833.

In 1774 the first Virginia Convention was held by delegates from each county and borough on August 1-6 in Williamsburg, for the purposes of expressing their grievances against Great Britain, and to elect delegates to the first Continental Congress to meet in Philadelphia on September 5th. Among the resolutions adopted were: (1) No imports from Britain, including slaves, after November 1, 1774; (2) No exports to Britain after August 10, 1775, and doing so would be considered inimical or harmful to the community; (3) Merchants were not allowed to charge high prices due to shortages; (4) Committees were to be formed in each county to observe compliance, and there would be no dealing with merchants who did not sign their agreement to these resolutions.

As the issues against Britain increased, Virginia held three more conventions in 1775, culminating with a fifth convention in Williamsburg during May and June of 1776 which declared Virginia to be an independent state. A state constitution was written with the separate legislative, executive and judicial departments of government, and Patrick HENRY was elected as the first Governor of Virginia. This new government went into operation on 29 June 1776.

It was within this atmosphere, and during the fifth convention which was creating the new Virginia government 60 miles away, that the Hanover County Committee was judging the patriotism of these men. They were mostly, if not all, local merchants of Scotch descent whose livelihood was dependent upon trade with Great Britain, and thus, many were considered to be Tories. David COCHRAN and 12 others were acquitted, while three of the men refused to take the oath required by the Virginia Convention.

"In committee for Hanover county, June 6.
The resolves of the Hon. the Convention, in regards to such persons as are inimical or disaffected to the liberties of America, being read, it was ordered that the clerk should summon Samuel Pearson, Joseph Reynolds, David Cochran, John Cunningham, James Martin, Bennett White, Colin Campbell, and Alexander and Patrick Macauley, Richard Dennistoun, Richard Burnley, William Marshall, Francis Irwin, John Meriwether, Thomas Evans, and Benjamin Sanders (who, it was suggested, came within the meaning of the said resolves) to appear before the committee on the 13th of the said month; and at a meeting of the said committee at Hanover town, on the day last mentioned, they severally appeared, and being charged with being inimical or disaffected to the liberties of America, denied the charge, whereupon sundry witnesses were sworn and examined; and all circumstances relating thereto fully inquired into, and maturely considered, the committee came to the following resolutions:
Resolved, that Joseph Reynolds, so far from being inimical or disaffected to the liberties of America, hath generally conducted himself as a friend to the American cause.
Resolved therefore, that he be from the charge aforesaid honorably acquitted.
Resolved, that it does not appear to this committee, that Samuel Pearson, David Cochran, John Cunningham, James Martin, Bennett White, Colin Campbell, Patrick Macauly, William Marshall, Francis Irwin, and John Meriwether, are inimical or disaffected to the liberties of America.
Resolved therefore, that they be from the charge aforesaid honorably acquitted.
Resolved, that it appears to this committee that there is ground to suspect the fidelity and attachment of Richard Burnley and Benjamin Sanders to the American interest, whereupon the oath required by the Convention to be taken by such was tendered to them; which they severally took, and subscribed.
Resolved therefore, that they ought to be restored to the friendship of their fellow citizens.
Resolved, that it appears to this committee that Alexander Macauley, Richard Dennistoun, and Thomas Evans, are inimical or disaffected to the liberties of America. The oath aforesaid was therefore tendered to them, which they refused to take and subscribe.
Resolved, that their arms and ammunition ought to be taken from them, and that they deliver the same accordingly to col. Samuel Meredith, to be appraised, used, and applied, as directed by the Convention.
Ordered, that the clerk furnish such of the persons above-named as apply with extracts from these proceedings; and that he send a copy to the Publick Printer, desiring him to publish the same in the VIRGINIA GAZETTE.

"By the law of progeniture, Capt. John Syme at the death of his mother, Mildred Meriwether, became possessed of her immense estate, but which by the cooperation of his father and Patrick Henry and his yielding and accommodating disposition, he was induced to sign away to his father, Col. John Syme, for a very inadequate consideration. It happened that his father, Col. John Syme, had sustained some heavy losses in aid of the Revolutionary War in an official capacity, and not having it in his power to meet the demands against him, he most unrighteously undertook to make sale of his son's, Capt. John Syme's, vast landed estate before his son, Capt. John Syme, became of mature age. Entering into covenant bonds to those to whom he had sold his son's property, with Patrick Henry and one John Hawkins as his securities, that his son, Capt. John Syme, on his arriving at mature age would ratify & make good all the sales he had made. The interposition of numerous friends was exercised to prevent Capt. John Syme from ratiffing or fulfilling his father's, Col.

Land, 200 acres on Mud Swamp, that had been purchased by Capt. James WINSTON, and on his death, was inherited by James' son and Mildred's husband, Andrew T. WINSTON.

3361 Role: Purchaser
The SIMPSONs operated a ferry there, just downstream of the mouth of Lower Twin Creek, and the purchase included 7 houses and the ferry equipment and its operation. Farmers in the area used this location to ship their produce downstream (north) about 13 miles on the Kentucky river to the Ohio river. The purchase, for $15 per acre ($7,950), included 2 parcels that the SIMPSONs had purchased, 250 acres along the river and 280 adjacent acres on higher ground away from the river.

The plan of Dr. COCHRAN and John HAWKINS was to plat and establish a town on the flat portion of the land along the river, to be called Marion. Based on subsequent deeds selling off the lots, this ambitious plan included at least 245 lots. On 21 April 1820, eight months after the purchase, they filed a "bill of complaint" in Gallatin Circiut Court** against the SIMPSONs claming they did not have a valid deed for the 280 acre upland tract which they bought from John ADAMS of Richmond, Virginia, Executor of Richard ADAMS' estate, his father. COCHRAN and HAWKINS had learned that other ADAMS' family heirs were claiming that John ADAMS did not have authority to sell the land per the Will. In the complaint, they requested a cancellation of the contract and return of the money already paid, plus reimbursement for buildings and improvements that they made. And if the SIMPSONs did not have the sufficient money, that COCHRAN and HAWKINS retain the 250 acres and be reimbursed for the 280 acres at the price they paid, $15 per acre ($4,200). The defendants countered that the 250 acres on the river where the town would be built and the associated ferry were the valuable part of the 530 acres, and that the more remote 280 acres was only worth $1 per acre, the amount they paid for it.

On 12 October 1821 the court issued a decree

* HAWKINS, who married Mary RIGG in 1818, became a brother-in-law of Dr. COCHRAN's daughter, Lucy Ann Catharine, when she married Alexander Moxley RIGG, Sr. in 1832. The town of Marion was later renamed Moxley in honor of Alexander Moxley RIGG, Sr. Although the town is now extinct, the area is still known as Moxley.

** Owen County did not expand to include Marion until 28 February 1821, but the legal proceedings continued in the Gallantin County Court until concluded on 18 April 1829.
