Joseph Cochran, better known as Joseph Cochran, Jr., was a good scholar for his day, and greatly excelled in penmanship; and this was early called into requisition in various ways as Town Clerk and secretary of religious societies. He was very accurate in the transaction of business, and much of his time was devoted to town affairs and the settling of estates. He was commissioned ensign in the 9th Co. 9th Regt. N. H. Militia, June 11, 1810, by Gov. John Langdon, and as Lieut. June 17, 1812, by Gov. Wm. Plummer, and as Capt. June 15, 1815, by Gov. J. T. Gilman.

Sept. 28, 1846, he was commissioned by Gov. Anthony Colby Special Justice of the Police Court of the City of Manchester, to which city he had removed. He early identified himself with the temperance cause, and devoted to it his most vigorous energies. He was very efficient in the erection of the Presby- terian and Baptist meeting-houses, and aided much the cause of Sabbath schools. In politics he was formerly identified with the Democratic party, but early espoused the cause of the progressive patriots, who sought to remove slavery as the con- trolling power in the government, and with that party lie con- tinued to act until his death.
368
Mr. Cochran was for many years a member of the Presby- terian Church, but in the most friendly manner left that to unite with the Baptist, having changed his views of the doctrine of baptism. As infirmities increased he removed to Bellows Falls, Vt., where several of his children had already gone ; and there with them he spent his last years, and died January 17, 1863, aged nearly 78, greatly beloved by his family and re- spected by all who knew him.
ABRAHAM COCHRAN. - After his marriage with Jennette Coch- ran, of Londonderry, of which he himself was a native, Mr. Cochran came to New Boston, and settled on the rich swell of land, now in the possession of Benjamin Baker, who married his granddaughter. He also purchased the large and well-timber- ed lot of land owned by the late Deacon Abraham Cochran, his grandson. He had five children : Andrew, Jane, Peter, Ann, and Mary, the first two dying young ; Peter married Jennette, daughter of John Cochran on Cochran Hill, - inherited the homestead, and died January 20, 1843, aged 75. His children were Jane, Abraham, John Davidson, Margaret Ann, Mary Elizabeth, and Andrew, who died when a child. Jane married Robert, son of the late Dea. Robert Crombie, and lives in New Boston ; Abraham, born September 1, 1802, married Almira Trull, of Townsend, Mass., September 9, 1830, and lives where William Andrews now resides. Mrs. Cochran died, leaving him five children, -Lydia Jane, Andrew D., Alonzo B., Almus P., and A. Josephine. Mr. Cochran married for his second wife Abigail, daughter of Rev. Robert Cochran, of Wiscasset, Maine, January 20, 1847, by whom he had two daughters, Almira T. and Abbie Maria. Mr. Cochran was a member of the Presbyterian Church, and for many years was an elder in it. He died July 22, 1856, in Rutland, Vt., on his return home from a journey taken for his health, aged 54 years. Dea. Cochran was a sincere christian and an upright man, and his end was peace. His son Alonzo died April 22, 1858, aged 22, a young man of great promise ; and his daughter, Lydia, died August 14, 1860, aged 29, a thorough scholar ; and his son Andrew, a member of Dartmouth College, died October 23, 1860, aged 27, near San Antonia, Texas, where he had gone in search of health, hoping to stay the progress of consumption,
369
of which his father, brother, and sister had died. He was a young man of exemplary piety, and possessed a superior intel- lect. Almus, another son of Dea. A. Cochran, is in the army of the Cumberland, and A. Josephine, his youngest daughter by his first wife, is a graduate of New Ipswich Academy.
John Davidson (son of Peter) married Margaret Todd, of Belfast, Maine, and lives in Milford, his surviving children be- ing Albert A., now in the service of his country, and Jennie M.
Margaret Ann, daughter of Peter, married Benjamin Baker, of Newbury, Vt., and they live on the homestead in New Bos- ton, having two children, Benjamin F., and Annie M. ; Mary Elizabeth married Peter E. Hadley, Esq., of Goffstown, and they have two sons, George P. and Charles C.
Peter Cochran, father of the late Dea. Abraham Cochran, was distinguished from all other Peter Cochrans by the worthy title " Honest Peter," a title justly due to him.
JOHN MCLAUGLEN. - He settled on Bradford Hill, and built the house in which Rev. Mr. Bradford lived. He had a son, John, who kept store and tavern, and was a man of great busi- ness activity, for many years he kept the town astir with his enterprises, which were greatly beneficial to the community if not remunerative to himself. A worthy descendant of his may be found in Colonel Thomas MeLaughlen, son of David, born in New Boston March 11, 1800, moved into Vermont with his father when a lad, and has been for the last twenty-five years the owner of Clarendou Springs, and the well known and popular proprietor of the Clarendon House, a romantic and quiet retreat among the green hills of Vermont, where thou- sands from all parts of New England and the great Metropolis resort annually to receive healing from its waters, and enjoy a respite from the heated atmosphere and din of city life. Colonel MeLaughlen is a philanthropic, public-spirited man, and a liberal contributor to the religious and charitable institutions of the day.

Their children were Letitia, Robert, Ann, John, Ninian, Rebecca, Samuel, Ann, and Letitia. Mr. Clark was the only Justice of the Peace in town who re- ceived his commission from the British Government; he did not sympathize at first with the patriots of the Revolution, and made enemies thereby. But he was a man with whom the town could not afford to be long angry. As a surveyor of land he had no equal in the town ; as an intelligent justice his ser- vices were of great value. He was a just man, and sought to promote peace and save the town and private parties from liti- gation ; he was employed in the service of the town for a long succession of years in almost every capacity, and had the un- bounded confidence of the people. He was a member of the Presbyterian Church, and lived and died as a christian, and left a name that will not soon be forgotten. His death trans- pired March 9, 1808, aged 73. His wife died June 12, 1792, aged 55.

Robert inherited the homestead, and married Annis Wallace March 4, 1790. Their children were Rebecca Wallace, Ann, Frances Moor, William, Sally Wallace, Jane Moor, Louisa Letitia, Cordelia, and George Washington. Mr. Clark was chosen elder in the Presbyterian Church about the time of Mr. Bradford's ordination, and greatly magnified his office by his exemplary and holy life. His christian zeal and uniform devotion to Christ and his cause gave him great power in the church, and secured to him the confidence of the town. For many years he filled important offices, and was always deemed a safe counsellor, and a friend of peace and good order. He died September 18, 1826, aged 61, greatly lamented by a bereaved church and an afflicted community. His wife died January 5, 1850, aged 82, being an excellent woman, a great help to her husband, and the succorer of many.
