name: Cochran is a spelling variation of Cochrane, a Scottish place name found in the Paisley district, near Glasgow. It may have gotten its name from Old Welch coch = red, but the earliest known spelling was recorded this way: Couran (which sort of shoots a hole in the coch = red theory. It may be that the Couran was a phonetic spelling from a dialtectic pronunciation.) Cochren, Colqueran are other spelling variations. Cochrane is the name of the Earls of Dundonald, taken by William Blair when he married into the Cochrane family. Cochrane has its own distinctive highland kilt, although some Cochranes are descended from ancestors who married into the McDonald clan which wears the Clan Donald tartan

FRANKLIN GILSINGER, the youngest in a family of eight children born to Joseph and Sophia M. (Keller) Gilsinger, was born in France November 22, 1848. He received, in his youth, a fair common school education, which he has since greatly improved by his own exertions. At the age of nineteen, he ceased working for his
father, and for two years engaged with his brother in working a part of the home farm on shares. He then bought sixty acres of the homestead, and two years later purchased fifty more, including the original improvements, and has recently added thirty-five acres, making in all 145. He was married, November 4, 1873, to Magdalena Nice, a native of Seneca County, Ohio. Of the six children born to this union, four are still living - Joseph F., Mary M., Anna M. and Cecelia K.
