Notes on the Nutt and Cochran Families.
From a Letter Written by Jane Hamilton (Nutt) Walton to
my Father, her Nephew, Feb.11, 1865

"My Grandfather (Glass) Cochran was 13 years old when his father come to this country. All were from Ireland, but were Scotsmen. My Grandfather married Sarah Hamilton of Marblehead, Mass. and settled in Blandford, Mass. He raised a family of seven children, two daughters, and Robert, John, Cornelius, Abner and Glass (which was my Grandfather's name) He gave each of his boys a farm and settled his sons around him. Only one of them died in Blandford and he had no children, so posterity is extinct in the town. Their daughters were Susanna, my mother, who married James Nutt, and Mary married Moses Baird. They lived in Blandford till after the Revolutionary War, when they moved to Loudon, Berkshire Co.,Mass."
