Joseph drew land in the 1820 Lottery; he drew land

Matilda Collins, wife of Banister Cochran, was dead
in 1853 and is not identified as a daughter. Benjamin
and Banister Cochran were brothers and probably married
sisters, however no document has been found that
confirms that Joseph was Sarah Collins' father. No evidence
of a will in Morgan or Upson Co, through Upson Co probate
records.
