• Notes

  Last name may be spelled Cochrin. She was a born a Protestant and converted to Catholic. Oral tradition is that some of her family were lawyers in Ireland which required them to be Protestants. ----------------- Robert Casey Lane states: When I was a child and anyone brought up Jane Cochrane's name, it was always mentioned that she had been a Protestant. The comment was not made in any way in disapproval, but rather in tones of wonder that someone in our family could once have been a Protestant. I think it must have been an unprecedented event in the Lavery/Callahan clans. Jane became a Catholic, probably when she and Hugh were married. Last name may be spelled Cochrin.
