Elizabeth (Shaw) (King) Cochran (1827-1900) was my maternal 3rd-great grandmother. What follows is an exploratory analysis of the biographical data I have discovered about her.
1. Vital Records
Elizabeth was born October 29, 1829 in Fayette County, Indiana
1,2,3,4,5,6,7.
1.1. Birth Certificate
The State of Indiana did not require birth certificates until 1907, so no birth certificate for Elizabeth is available.
1.1.1. Birth Notice in Newspaper
If a Elizabeth's birth was mentioned in a local newspaper, it has been lost to time.
1.1.2. Bible Record
I am not aware of any surviving Bible record for the Shaw family that would record the birth of Elizabeth. Will continue to reach out to extended family in hopes that one will be found.
1.1.3. Baptismal Record
I am not aware of any baptismal record for Elizabeth, nor do I know the church affiliation of the Shaw family.
1.1.4. Adoption Record
There is no indication that Elizabeth was adopted.
1.2. Marriage License
I have not been able to locate a marriage record for Elizabeth and Daniel King. They were married December 5, 1847 in Madison County, Indiana1. After Daniel's death, Elizabeth married William H. Cochran, circa 1876, in Madison County, Indiana. Likewise, I have not been able to locate a marriage record for them. The courthouse in Madison County, Indiana suffered a fire in 1880 and early marriage records were lost.
1.2.1 Marriage Notice in Newspaper
Will need to search contemporary newspaper accounts to see if mention was made of Elizabeth and Daniel's nuptials or Elizabeth and William's nuptials.
1.2.2. Anniversary Notice
Elizabeth and Daniel's 25th wedding anniversary would have been December 5, 1872. Will need to search contemporary newspaper accounts to see if mention was made of their anniversary.
Elizabeth passed away prior to being married for 25 years to William.
1.2.3. Divorce Decree
There is no indication that Elizabeth and Daniel or Elizabeth and William were ever divorced. Will need to search court records in Madison County, Indiana in order to complete an exhaustive search.
1.3. Death Certificate
Elizabeth died October 10, 1900 in Frankton, Madison County, Indiana2. Her cause of death was typhoid fever.
1.3.1. Obituary in Newspaper
Will need to search contemporary newspapers to see if I can locate a copy of Elizabeth's obituary or death record.
1.3.2. Funeral Home Records
Will need to search the local historical society to see if they have funeral home records that might shed some light on Elizabeth's funeral. Will add this to my list of "to-do" items for my next research trip.
1.3.3. Tombstone Photograph
Elizabeth was buried in the Howard Cemetery, Pipe Creek Township, Madison County, Indiana. There was no marker found for her in a search of the cemetery.
2. Census Records
2.1. Federal Census Records
2.1.1. 1900 Federal Census
On June 13, 1900, Elizabeth was enumerated in the William Cochran household in Frankton, Madison County, Indiana7, as Elizabeth Cochran, wife, born October 1827, age 70, married 20 years.

2.3. Agricultural Census Records
I have not yet investigated these types of records to see what light they might shed on the Shaw or King families.
3. Military Records

1893-94 Directory Finds : Madison County, Indiana
Spent the early part of today researching Knight & Co.'s Elwood, Alexandria, In and Madison County Biennial Directory, 1893-1894 as found online at Internet Archive. I was able to add some occupational and residency data to my Rootsmagic database.
Found information regarding the following families: Cochran, King, Lyst, Shaw, Sigler and Snively and added their residency and occupational information to my database.
In the town of Elwood, I found Dr. Daniel SIGLER listed as the President of the local board of education. His residence was at 305 South Anderson Street. He was also listed as the President of the Elwood Natural Gas and Oil Company, which had offices at 513 South Anderson. Daniel was the husband of my maternal 3rd-great grandaunt, Minerva PIERCE. His son Bert V, was also listed in the directory, though I have his death occurring December 20, 1892 in Elwood.
Also in Elwood, I found John LYST, listed as a brick contractor, residence and business both at 2021 Main Street. John was the husband of my maternal 3rd-great grandaunt, Sarah Wilson LAMBERTSON.
Also in Elwood, I found Henry H. SNIVELY, seller of drugs, watches, clocks, jewelry and musical instruments, business at 112 South Anderson, residence at 1415 South E. Street. Henry was a maternal 1st cousin 4 times removed, the son of Samuel and Mary S. (LAMBERTSON) SNIVELY.
The town of Frankton held several relatives of the King family, including a curious listing for Elizabeth KING, widow. I believe this refers to my maternal 3rd-great grandmother, Elizabeth (SHAW) KING, widow of Daniel. However, by the time of this directory she had been married for several years to William COCHRAN, also listed in the directory as a carpenter living in Frankton. Perhaps there is another Elizabeth, or they were still references to her as the "widow" King long after her remarriage.
Also in Frankton, I found David KING, listed as a drayman; Benjamin KING, listed as a carpenter; and Frank M. KING, also listed as a carpenter. These were ones I could identify as relatives.
I'm enjoying exploring the works digitized in the Internet Archive and hope to find more mentions of my relatives.
