My name is Lynda Mae Cochran
My paternal Grandmother is Blackfoot from the Southwestern part of Virginia…
Her name was Tilda Mae Bandy
In any of your searches have you seen this name I will be able to provide you with dates late 1800’s
she married my Grandfather Mitch Cochran of Pikeville, KY
I know that she had a sister from VA also… I m sorry that I don’t know more than that….
as the family story goes or so I heard all my life is that I am 1/4 Blackfoot… of this I am proud and would like to claim some of my Indian heritage… I hope its not too late in life.. but what an adventure I am having trying to find out
Sincerely Lynda Cochran Lange
born in Lynnwood, California 1946
Lynda C.,
🙂 Hello and WELCOME. You’re probably in the right place. If you can put more specific info. here, like dates, towns where your folks were born, kids, marriages, deaths surely someone will point you in the right direction!;) Glad you’re here. Love & Light, Lynella.
Hi Lynella:
It was so nice of you to reply.. I will work on the names and dates of marriages this weekend.. I hope I have enough to go on. I tried to search a few years back and kept getting refered to the Blackfoot tribe in Montana… No luck thru that… Your sight is much more promising and I am very excited to find you….

Hello! And welcome. Glad to have you with us. Just post your information and we will try to help you.
Linda C.,
Welcome.
These must be yours…..
Mitch Cochran, 38, & his wife Tilda, 31, & children are listed on the 1930 Pike Co Ky census, ED5, visit 187. Their children are
Orville, 13
Bessie, 10
Charles E., 8
Rex, 6
Paul, 3.
Mitch was 21 and Tilda was 14, when they were married.
Tilda (Matilda) Mae Bandy was born Feb 1900 in Tazewell Co., Va per the 1900 Tazewell Co census, pg.175A. Her mother’s name is Mary, b.May 1866 Ky, and a widow. Haven’t found her father yet.
Mitchell F. Cochran, b.Feb 1893 Ky, is the son of Floyd F. Cochran, b.Dec 1863 Russell Co. (probably – he lived there in 1880), Va & Phebe SCOTT, b.May 1862, Pike Co. (probably), Ky. They were marr’d 19 August 1884 in Pike Co.
Phebe’s parents are Mitchell Scott, b.abt. 1839, 1836 or 1841 (depending on which census you look at), Ky, & Malinda J. REYNOLDS, b.abt. 1837 Ky. They married in Pike Co., Ky on 30 April 1857; License/Bond on 28 April.
On the 1880 Pike census, ED99, pg.642, visit 74, Mitchell Scott’s wife is listed as “Matilda”, b.abt. 1832 Ky. I don’t “think” these are these same two people, so possibly Malinda J. died before 1880. The 1870 census shows Malinda J. as the mother of all of the children.
Do you need census lookups on these lines?
