JEROME COCHRAN

     Jerome Cochran, of Montgomery, Alabama, was born in Moscow, Fayette county, 
	 Tennessee on December 04, 1831.  His family were originally Scotch.  Most of 
	 his early life was spent in Marshall county, Mississippi.  He received an 
	 English education, with a smattering of Latin, in an old field school and an 
	 academy in the adjacent town of Holly Springs.  Subsequently, without the help of 
	 teachers, he learned the French, Italian, Spanish and Portugese languages, so 
	 as to be able to read them.  He graduated in medicine first in the Botanic Medical 
	 College of Memphis, in 1857; and subsequently graduated again in 1861, in the medical 
	 department in the University of Nashville...  Early in the War he was appointed a 
	 surgeon in the Confederate army, and served as such until the end of the War, mostly 
	 in military hospitals...  He settled in Mobile, Alabama, just after the close of the War...
