Lincoln Cochran family data

In working on the profile for Lincoln and Lucinda (and Melissa), it was very helpful to make a spreadsheet to list all the vital dates (birth, marriage, death) and how I got them, as well as the first names of the family members and how they were linked to their parents. This wasn’t my own bright idea — it came from a genealogy workshop I took last year, taught by a professional genealogist who encouraged us to use spreadsheets as a way of being more thorough and focused on sources.

I’m including a PDF of that file here in case it’s helpful to others. Please let me know if you have other data that supports or contradicts these dates so we can share information!
