She is apparently the Lillian Baird who was a teacher at the Daniels School at Milliken, Weld Co., Colorado in 1898 (cited in the documentation for this school for the National Register for Historic Places). Her father had apparently settled in the area as early as 1890.

Her death date is given as 1807 in Fermine Baird Catchings' book, but the same book shows her listed in her mother's will of 1842. She survived until at least 1850, for she is found on the census of Morris Co. that year, and she was granted 1/3 of her late husband's property (3 acres) in 1855.

Middle name from the obituary, which was found in a collection of undated newpaper clippings at the public library in Keosauqua, Iowa:
MRS. ALFRED COCHRAN DEAD
Martha Jane Baird was born in Des Moines township, Van Buren county, Iowa, February 26, 1849. Her father, John Baird, was born in New Jersey and her mother, Eliza Bryant Baird, was a native of Indiana. She was from a family of ten children. On March 25, 1877, there were united in marriage, Mary J. Baird and Alfred Cochran and the following children blessed the home, George, Clara Belle, deceased July 28, 1912, John, Hope E., Allie, Annie Beulah, deceased Aug. 31, 1915, and Eva May. Her husband passed away September 10, 1896. Mrs. Cochran spent her whole earthly life in the Home Prairie community where she was a factor of righteousness in the Lord's vineyard. She became a Christian when she was but a girl and united with the church when a class was in existance [sic] at the Wiley school house. Here for many years Mrs. Cochran and her husband worshiped [sic]. Here their children and the older Cochran children, James, Charley and Frank, attended Sunday school and the services of the church. On March 25, 1889, she, with her husband, transferred her membership and united with the church at Home Prairie, under the pastorate of Rev. C. W. Wilson. Here she labored faithfully in the ranks of the church militant until she was dismissed to the ranks triumphant, Friday evening, July 15th, 1921, age 72 years, 4 months and 19 days. Ths ends the life of a hard working, self sacrificing Christian servant of God. Her labors were not in vain in the Lord. Others will grow up and call her bless [sic]. And she, herself, is crowned at last.
She leaves on this side of the river, two brothers, Thomas C. Baird of Cantril and Christopher Baird of Greely, Colo, two sons, John and George, four daughters Mrs. Hope Pierce, Mrs. Effie Smith, Allie who resided with her mother on the home place and Mrs. Eva Brewer, all residing in this community. She leaves sixteen grandchildren and many other relatives and a host of friends who will hold her name in sacred memory.
Appropriate funeral services were conducted at Home Prairie church Monday morning at 10 o'clock. The sermon was preached by her nephew C. W. Cochran, the pastor of the church. A large audience was present, made up of relatives and friends. All the children and grandchildren were present. Interment was made in Hoskin cemetery.
[4369] Date from obituary. However, the age at death recorded from the cemetery inscription gives a computed birthdate of 26 feb 1852.

In 1840 he seems to be in Canaan Township, Marion Co., OH, with wife and a young son and daughter.
[4431] Birthplace noted in History of Morrow Co. OH (1880), p. 719. However, we believe family actually lived on the Passaic River on the ancestral farm(s), in Somerset Co. Birthdate agrees with family records.
