I am also searching for any additional information McComb~Cochrane info, if
anyone is holding any. Anytime from Scotland 1600s, all the way through a
John McComb, wife Jane Cochrane, executed the Power of Attorney recorded at
Trenton New. Jersey, Nov. 24 1746. (This John McComb is my "8th grandfathers
brother").

We ventured from Scotland off into Antrim Ireland somewhere between the
years 1619 and 1710 (the life span of my 10th grandfather, 91 years old ).
They lived at Dunturkey, Ballymere, Parish of Ballymere Co. Antrim, 12 miles
N. of Belfast on a farm rented from town. His son (my 9th grandfather) was a
Linen draper also born in Scotland.

We were on U.S. land by 1732.(this is before there was a U.S. president) We
came in through Delaware Maryland, had a brief stay in N.Y. then branched
around to Cumberland Co. Wa, Derry Pa, Middle Spring Pa, and Lancaster Co.,
also whats known now as Jefferson County, NY. and some other areas. There
were 7 brothers plus (my 8th grandfather) that came initially. History has
confirmed 4 of them in America, my line included. Some went to Chicago and
Canada and changed the spelling to Macomb, and later McComb(s) in some cases.

Im finally knocking on Scotland's front door." Any info is greatly
appreciated, Im also researching Wallace and Gordon connections to the McComb
family in Scotland and Ireland. See below for sources.
