JACOB COCHRAN/COCKRAM b abt 1800 who married CELIA/SELAH/CECILIA may have been the son of WILLIAM COCKRAM/COCKERHAM, who is listed in the 1810 Spartanburg Co SC census, and witnessed a land deed in Spartanburg SC in 1812.
CELIA/SELAH/CECILIA (maiden name unknown) was a granddaughter of SUSANNAH, wife of DAVID BRUTON/BREWTON Sr of Spartanburg SC (but CELIA probably from a previous marriage?). I have not been able to find out who CELIA's parents were. However, SUSANNAH left CELIA'S children property in her estate:
