The
Company[1]
The
business known as Cochran, McLean & Co. was established in 1869 in New York
City with special partners: James Mclean, Henry H. Stotesbury[2]
and Fergus Cochran and general partners: Charles P. Cochran, Thomas Cochran and William Barbour.
Most of these partners had earlier businesses together starting in 1831,
with only the name of the firm and the partners being slightly different. The dry goods importing firm known as Cochran
Brothers was formed in New York in 1831 by 3 brothers: Fergus Cochran, James B.
Cochran and Thomas Cochran. It succeeded an earlier business known as A.
G. and F. Cochran. Both firms were
importers of laces and other dry goods.
Unfortunately, Cochran Brothers lasted less than a year because one of
the partners, Fergus Cochran, died at the end of 1831. Seventeen years later in 1848, the Cochran
brothers: Samuel, Charles P. and Thomas, and their nephew William Barbour
formed a new company which they named S. Cochran & Co. At first the business was located on Pearl
Street in New York but by 1851 moved to 117 Broadway and then by 1860 to 443
and 445 Broadway. It was a large
business trading in lace and dry goods which was very successful until the
outbreak of the Civil War when most trade in America became paralyzed. Then it rebounded after the war because
George Austin Morrison, who was hired by the firm in 1856, contributed significantly
to the business with his idea of traveling aboard during the war and purchasing
items he knew would sell well once the war was over. Mr. Morrison was added as a partner to the
firm in 1865. S. Cochran & Co. was
dissolved in 1869 and the business was merged with others including a company
with another nephew named James McLean.
It became Cochran, McLean & Co. at 462 and 464 Broadway with the
special partners and general partners listed at the beginning of this
paragraph. This business continued
operations for the next 7 years but by 1876 failed due to some legal issues and
the partnership was dissolved. The
advertisement[3] seen
here was published in February 1876.
To
date only one Avery needle case has been found with the Cochran, McLean &
Co. New York name. It is the Quadruple known
as The Eclectic - Lion on Shield seen in the photographs pictured here. Although this basic design was
Avery’s most popular needle case, the Cochran, McLean & Co. one is quite
unique because it has a shield with a lion rampant in the center. A lion rampant[4] is a profile of a lion standing upright on
its hind legs with its forelegs 
raised as if ready to strike. This is the symbol of Scotland and stands for
bravery, valor, strength and loyalty. The firm most likely picked the shield with
the lion rampant because it reminded them of their birthplace in Scotland. Only five other firms in the UK had Quadruple
style needle cases stamped with customized designs unique to their
companies. These businesses were: Asser
& Sherwin, Cook & Co., Copestake, Moore, Crampton & Co. and Gay
& Son from London and H. Milward & Sons from Redditch. It is interesting to note that Mr. Morrison
worked for the predecessor of the Copestake, Moore, Crampton & Co. business
in the early 1850’s and may have gotten the idea for this needle case from
later correspondence with them.
The
Cochran Owners
Robert Cochrane and Elisabeth Guthrie were
the parents of the Cochran brothers and nephews who established the Cochran,
McLean & Co. business. Robert was
born c1755 in Stoneykirk, Scotland, a town near Luce
Bay on the southern coast, about 4.5 miles south of Stranraer. He married Elisabeth Guthrie in Ayr, a town
along the west coast of southern Scotland about 55 miles north of Stoneykirk. After
their marriage, around 1785, they moved to Kirkcudbright, a town 47 miles east
of Stoneykirk along the southern coast of
Scotland. This was where Robert owned a
farm in Torrs and two inns, one in Castle Douglas and another in Toll Bridge at
Drumlanrig, which meant the family was considerably
wealthy. Robert and Elizabeth had 16
children born there between 1786 and 1807: Agnes, Robert, Adam, Margaret,
Alexander, Elizabeth, Isabella, Adam, John, James Blair, Wilhelmina, Patrick,
Charles P., Fergus, Samuel, and Thomas.
Of the 16 children, 4 sons died in early childhood and 1 son and 1
daughter died in their early 20’s all in Scotland. The other 10 children, 6 sons and 4 daughters
immigrated to the United States between 1819/1821 and in the 1860’s with most
of them settling in the New York City area.
James Blair was first arriving in c1819/1821 followed by Robert
c1824/1829, Samuel c1824/1825, Fergus c1826/1828/1830, Thomas c1827/1828/1833,
their sister Margaret Barbour c1833, Charles P. c1835/1838, the two nephews
James Mclean and William Barbour c1836, 2 sisters: Isabella and Wilhelmina
c1837, and another sister Agnes McClune c1843/1845/1860’s. Also, all of the
Cochran children changed the spelling of their surname by dropping the letter
‘e’ from the end. Nine of the children
who immigrated died in New York and 1 in Jamacia and they all were buried at
the Green-Wood Cemetery in Brooklyn, New York.
At some point between 1807[5]
and 1814[6]
the parents, Robert and Elisabeth, moved to neighboring Castle Douglas in
Scotland where they spent the remainder of there
lives. Robert died there in 1821 at age
66 and Elisabeth died there 16 years later in 1837 at age 73. Both were buried at the Kirkcudbright
Cemetery.
Charles
P. Cochran was the eighth son of Robert Cochrane and Elisabeth Guthrie. He was born in 1804 in Kirkcudbright and
during his youth studied medicine at the University of Edinburgh where he
received a degree in 1822. Around 1824
at age 20 Charles moved to Jamacia where he practiced for a
number of years. During his time
there he most likely met Alice Dickson.
Charles immigrated to New York c1835/1838 due to the conditions in
Jamacia as a result of the 1833[7]
Slavery Abolition Act. In 1836 he
returned to Jamaica where he married Alice Dickson who had a daughter from an
earlier relationship, born two years before their marriage. They returned to New York and Charles was
given a position by his younger brother Samuel in the S. Cochran & Co.
business and he became a partner in 1848.
In 1840 and 1850 Charles and Alice were living in Brooklyn, NY where
Charles was working as an importer.
Charles and Alice had 10 children born between 1837 and 1855: William, Fergus, Alice, Robert, Elizabeth,
Isabella, Hellen, Charles, Agnes and Laura. Alice died in 1859 at age 43 and was buried
at the Green-Wood Cemetery in Brooklyn.
Charles continued to live in New York working as a merchant and in 1860
his real estate was valued at $100,000 and his personal estate at $25,000
indicating he was quite wealthy and part of the upper class. When S. Cochran and Co. was dissolved in
mid-1869, Charles became a general partner in the new firm Cochran, McLean
& Co. and his son, Fergus, became a special partner. Charles died less than 5 months later in late
December 1869 at age 66 and was also buried at the Green-Wood Cemetery. When his probate was settled in 1870, in
addition to other family members, his will mentioned his business partners: his
son Fergus Cochran, his brother Thomas Cochran, and his nephews: James McLean
and William Barbour.
Samuel
Cochran, the tenth son of Robert Cochrane and Elisabeth Guthrie, was born in
1806 in Kirkcudbright. In 1824/1825 at
age 18/19 he immigrated to New York where he lived for the remainer of his
life. His early years were most likely
spent working at other companies learning how to best organize business
operations. Then in 1848 he established
the firm known as Samuel Cochran and Co. (aka S. Cochran & Co.) with his
brothers: Charles P. and Thomas, and his nephew: William Barbour. In 1841 he married Jennette Scott in New
York and in 1855 Samuel was listed as a merchant whose value was $18,000. Samuel and Jennette had no children. Samuel died in the Westchester section of New
York City in 1859 at age 53 and was buried at Green-Wood Cemetery. When his will, which was written in 1854, was
probated after his death, his two brothers: Charles P. and Thomas, and his wife
Jennette were listed as executors.
Jennette died 17 years later in 1876 at age 57 and was also buried at
Green-Wood Cemetery.
Thomas
Cochran was the eleventh son of Robert Cochrane and Elisabeth Guthrie. He was born in 1807 in Kirkcudbright. After completing his schooling, he spent two
years working as a clerk in a law office and then moved to France for a couple
years to learn more about the lace manufacturing industry which an old friend
of his father’s owned. Thomas then
immigrated to New York 1827/1828/1831[8]/1833
at age 20/21/24 or 26 and spent less than a year working as a partner with his
brothers in the Cochran Brothers business.
Their partnership was dissolved after one of the brothers died and
Thomas joined the dry goods firm of Thompson, Austin & Co. and became a
partner there in 1835. Then in 1848 he
joined his brothers and nephew and formed S. Cochran & Co. Thomas never married and spent most of his
adult life living with his sister Margaret and her 2 daughters in the
Greenburgh and Brooklyn sections of New York City. He was consistently listed as a merchant or
importer and in 1860 his real estate was valued at $52,000 and personal estate
at $25,000 whereas by 1870 his real estate value increased to $100,000, indicating
a high level of success. Also, by 1870
he was listed as a retired merchant and no longer spent much of his time with
the firm’s business operations. In 1872
Thomas traveled abroad and visited Kirkcudbright where he laid the cornerstone
to the newly constructed Free Church there as he had made a large contribution
to the buildings funding. Thomas had a
residence at Dobbs Ferry, New York and another house at St. Augustine, Florida
where he spent his winter months in later life due to health issues. His sister Margaret died in 1886 at age 95
and Thomas was listed in her will as her executor. Thomas died 3 years later in 1889 at age 82
and left funds for his two nieces, Elizabeth Huntington and Margaret S.
Barbour. Both his sister Margaret and
Thomas were buried at the Green-Wood Cemetery.
Thomas’s obituary, transcribed below, provides additional information
about him.

THOMAS
COCHRAN
Thomas
Cochran, one of New York’s oldest importing merchants, died at his home at 48
East Forty-sixth-street, on Thursday afternoon, from bronchial affection that
his great age kept him from defeating.
He was born at Kirkcudbright, Scotland, in 1807, and went, when a youth,
to France, where he engaged in the lace manufacturing trade. In 1837 he came to this city and established
the lace and dry goods importing firm of Cochran & Co., which built up a
large business under his guidance. He
retired from active business life some twenty years ago, but was for a time a
special partner in the succeeding firm of Cochran, McLean & Co. Mr. Cochran was a man of quiet tastes and
retiring disposition, and never took an active part in club or society life. He never married. The funeral services will be held at his
residence on Monday morning at 10 o’clock, and the internment will be at
Greenwood Cemetery.
Fergus Cochran, the son of Charles P.
Cochran and Alice Dickson, was born in Kings, southeastern New York City, New
York c1841. By age 9 Fergus was living
in Dumbartonshire, Scotland, near Glasgow where he was a pupil at a school with
at least 15 other students. Apparently,
his parents sent him there to learn business and get a Scottish education. By 1855 he was back in New York living with
his parents and by 1860 was working as a clerk.
In 1870 Fergus was working as a merchant since he became a partner in
the Cochran, McLean & Co. business in 1869.
Fergus died in Nassau, Bahamas in 1874 at age 32 and his body was
returned to New York where he was buried at the Green-Wood Cemetery.
The
McLean Owner
James
McLean was born c1816 in Scotland, the son of Agnes Cochrane and Thomas
McClune. At some point after his
father’s death in 1822, he changed his surname to McLean as that is the way he
was recorded when he immigrated to the USA.
In 1836 when he sailed to New York at age 20 he was listed as a
clerk. Then in 1850 he traveled to
Wilkinson, Mississippi and married his cousin Helen Cochrane, the daughter of
Robert Cochrane. Shortly thereafter they
returned to New York and by 1855 were living in Brooklyn where James was
working as a merchant with an estate valued at $10,000. James and Helen had at least 4 children
between 1854 and 1860: Helen, Mary, Margaret and
Robin. Helen died in 1868 at age 43 and
was buried at Green-Wood Cemetery. James
became a partner in Cochran, McLean and Co. with his uncles and cousin in 1869
and he was listed as in the dry goods industry in 1870. What he did after their partnership was
dissolved in 1876 is unclear. James died
in 1894 at age 77 and was buried at Green-Wood Cemetery. His obituary is transcribed below.

OBITUARY. JAMES MCLEAN.
James
McLean, who died in this city on Wednesday, was one of the best know men in his
day in the drygoods trade. He was born in Scotland on December 16,
1816. He came to this country in 1836,
entering the drygoods jobbing trade. He was a member of the firms of Hopkins,
Allen & Co.; Allen, McLean & Bulkley, and Cochran, McLean &
Co. Mr. McLean had been well known in
the South for over fifty years, having had large business interests there
before the war. With the older merchants
of that region he was extremely popular. In his later connections in business he came in contact with
the active drygoods men in all parts of the country,
and when he retired he enjoyed their full confidence.
The
Barbour Owner
William
Barbour, the son of Margaret Cochrane and Thomas Barbour was born c1814 in
Scotland. At age 22 in 1836 he
immigrated to the USA and settled in New York.
William married Elizabeth Johnston in 1846 in Brooklyn and they had 9
children between 1847 and 1863: William D., Robert, Thomas, James A.,
Elizabeth, Henry Douglas, Margaret C., Mary C. and
Norman. In 1848 William joined his
uncles: Charles P. and Thomas Cochran as a partner in the S. Cochran & Co.
business and in 1869 became a general partner in Cochran, McLean & Co. William and Elizabeth lived in New York and
in 1860 he was listed as a merchant, in 1870 as a retired merchant with real
estate valued at $100,000 and in 1880 a retired lace merchant. William died in 1885 at age 72 and his wife
Eizabeth died 8 years later in 1893 at age 73.
Both were buried at Green-Wood Cemetery.
The
Stotesbury Owner
Not
much information has been found regarding Henry H. Stotesbury other than that
he was listed in New York city directories from at least 1857 as in the dry
goods trade until 1883 when he was listed as a merchant. According to the 1870 Census, he was a
merchant born in Ireland c1820.
The
Morrison Owner[9]
George
Austin Morrison, the son of Alexander and Christian Morrison was born c1832 in
Kincardineshire, Scotland. He was
educated at the parish schools of Fourdoun and
Aberdeen and was apprenticed to a dry goods business in Aberdeen for 5
years. In 1852 he moved to London and
worked for Groucock, Copestake, Moore and Company, a major warehouse business[10],
where he spent three and a half years.
In 1856 he accepted an offer for a position at Cochran & Co. of New
York and arrived there that year. In
1863 he married Lucy A. King and they had 2 children from c1864 until c1867:
George Austin Jr. and Charles King.
During the Civil War period most businesses in the US fell into hard
times and the Cochran firm was one of them who had to reduce the number of
their employees due to lack of sales.
The firm continued to employee Mr. Morrison, but at a reduced salary,
because he explained to them his plan to travel abroad and stock up on goods so
the business would be in a good place when the war ended. As a result, they had large profits in 1864. Mr. Morrison was admitted to the Cochran
& Co. partnership in 1865 and remained with the firm until 1869 when he
ended his partnership and the Cochran business became Cochran, McLean & Co. Then Mr. Morrison established his own
business known as Morrison, Herriman & Co, a lace, linen
and white goods business which existed for the next 20 years. When both partners retired in 1889, Mr.
Morrison in 1890 entered the Board of Directors of the American Cotton Oil Co.
and soon became President and Chairman of the Board, positions he held for over
18 years. Lucy died in Manhattan in
1908 at age 64 followed by George 8 years later in 1916 at age 84. His obituary is transcribed below.

at his home, 151 Central Park West, Manhattan, at the age of 84. Mr. Morrison was born in Scotland in
1832. A the
time of his death he was a director in the American Cotton Oil Company, the New
York Life Insurance Company, and the Terminal Warehouse Company, and trustee of
the Greenwich Savings Bank of Manhattan, in addition to other enterprises. He is survived by two sons, George Austin
Morrison Jr. and Charles K. Morrison.
Funeral services will be held at the late residence of the deceased on

(Note: Much of the
information below is confirmed in the book History and Genealogy of the Cochran
Family of Kirkcudbright and New York written by James H. Callender, NY,
privately published, 1932, available at ancestry.com. Data found in this book that has no other
source or does not match with other sources will have the words ‘(S=HGCF)’ next
to it. Limited research was done on
individuals who were not directly involved with the Cochran, McLean &
Company business and most of the children’s names and birth years are from
census records where available with the letter “c” next to it meaning circa
that year. Additionally, because the
Cochran and McLean surnames were quite popular in the New York area, some
records were not included because there was not enough information to prove the
data was related to the individual in question).
