COCHRAN, Samuel (Sarah) W.280

14 August 1832. Sumner County, Tennessee. Samuel Cochran of said county, aged 72 on 24 April 1832, declares he enlisted 14 January 1777 under Henry or Harry Conway in Henry County, Virginia, and was attached to the 14th Virginia Regiment of Col. Charles Lewis. He resided in Henry County and enlisted for three years. The 14th Virginia Regiment was attached to Gen. Weedon’s brigade. In March they marched to Alexandria, Virginia and went through the peration

of the small pox. They marched to Baltimore, passed Wilmington into Delaware, and went to Philadelphia about June 1777. They crossed the Delaware to Trenton and passed Princeton, N. J.,and Brunswick, passed the Raritan River and joined headquarters at Middlebrook, N. J. In a few days they took up the line of march with Gen. Washington’s army and proceeded to the high lands of New York. There arrived an express that the enemy was about to land at the head of Elk and they made a march upon Philadelphia. Gen. Washington retraced his steps to prevent Philadelphia falling into the hands of the enemy. They met the enemy at Brandywine and fought a hard fight. The enemy took possession of Philadelphia a few days after the battle which was in Sept. 1777. On 4 Oct. 1777 they again met the enemy and fought the battle of Germantown. Gen. Washington took up headquarters at Valley Forge. He continued with the army that winter and in June 1778 the enemy left Philadelphia and made a march on New York. They overtook them at Monmouth Court House and had a hard battle. They went into winter quarters on a mountain in sight of Middlebrook. After the winter broke they were engaged during 1779 in scouting parties and went into winter quarters in Morristown, N. J. His three years was drawing to a close and the 14th Regiment was broken up and Gen. Washington sent him and others to Philadelphia to take charge of 500 prisoners and take them to Frederick Town, Md. He was discharged in the summer of 1780.

In February 1781 he volunteered in Col. Linch’s regiment in Bedford County, Virginia. A short time afterward they were attached to Col. William Washington’s regiment of dragoons. He was in the battle of Guilford Court House, after which he was discharged. In Sept. 1781 he volunteered in Col. Callaway’s regiment in Bedford County, Virginia, and besieged Lord Cornwallis in Little York in Oct. 1781. After this he was discharged in Virginia.

He served as a private about one year. Col. Lewis having resigned Col. Davis was appointed to take command of the 14th Regiment. He appointed him 1st corporal in 1778 and served in that capacity until 1779 and was then promoted by Col. Davis to 2nd sergeant, in which capacity he served until discharged in the summer of 1780 by Col. Webb who had command of that detachment.
