  • Research Note: 2004; A Cornelius Cohron came from Pennsylvania and settled in Berkeley County, VA prior to 1737.1
  • Research Note*: 18 May 2015; From Beverly Daly:

    A Cornelius Cochrin obtained 172 acres in what is now Berkeley Co., WV near the Opeckan Creek.
    He appears in a list of "Fathers of the First Quaker Colony in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia.
    HOPEWELL was the first Quaker meeting established in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. It was originally known as Opeckan and was set off from the Concord Quarterly Meeting of Pennsylvania in 1734. The actual date of first settlement is thought to be around 1730. The meeting house is located about 6 miles north of Winchester, Frederick Co., Virginia.
    A land grant of 100,000 acres was purchased on the Opeckan River. Many of the earliest settlers moved into the area from the Valley of the Monocacy in Maryland.
    The following is background information on Alexander Ross, who obtained the 100,000 acre grant:

     Alexander was taxed from 1718-1730 in West Nottingham Township, Chester County, Pennsylvania. He and Morgan Bryan petitioned the Council of the Colony of Virginia on 28 October 1730 that there were 100 families desirous of settling in Virginia and requested 100,000 acres on the west and north side of "Opeckon" to the North Mountain and along the River Cohongarooton (Potomac River). With the advice of the Council, the Governor gave permission to Ross and Bryan to take up the 100,000 acres; patents would be granted, providing that the 100 families were present and dwelling upon the land within two years.
     Alexander Ross lived in Winchester, VA 1700. He received a grant of 40,000 acres from Governor Gooch about 1734; lands north. west, and south of present day Winchester.
    ``````````````
    The Opequon/Opeckan Quaker meeting in Frederick Co. appears to have existed from around 1730, when Alexander Ross of Chester Co., PA, who appears in New Garden and Nottingham monthly meetings prior to this, moved to what became Frederick Co., VA. The meeting was officially established in 1734. From its inception, it was under the supervision of Concord Quarterly meeting in PA. In 1735, the Hopewell meeting was officially established, as an offshoot of Opeckan/Opequon. Its minutes from 1735-9 have been burnt. Up to 1736, this meeting reported to Nottingham monthly meeting in Cecil Co., MD.
    Evan Thomas came from Wales to Philadelphia around 1719, and settled in the Gwynedd monthly meeting. In 1726, he and wife Catherine removed to Goshen monthly meeting, his certificate of removal stating that he was a minister. His son Evan, Jr., married Albenah, daughter of Alexander Ross. Evan Thomas, Sr., was perhaps the first minister of Hopewell meeting (see Hopewell Friends, HOPEWELL FRIENDS HISTORY 1734-1934 [Baltimore: Geneal. Publ. Co., 1975], p. 30).
    `````````````
     Alexander Ross and Robert McKay persuaded many Quaker families to people their patents, and so five Friends' Meetings sprang up north and south of Winchester beginning in 1733. These Friends were the grandchildren of the immigrants who came with Penn to Pennsylvania. They came from farms around Philadelphia, from Chester and Bucks Counties in Pennsylvania and Burlington County in New Jersey - very few from Philadelphia itself. The families began to come in the summer of 1732, bringing furniture and farm tools on strings of packhorses. Fathers walked and mothers rode, carrying the baby. Frisky small fry explorer the path sides, while the oldest son tailed the pack horse string or drove along the family cow. They came by the wagon road from Philadelphia to the frontier town of Lancaster. Then they struck the Indian path, the Great Warriors Path, one horse wide, that ran southwest through virgin woods to the Susquehanna River. Only God knows now how they forded or swam or rafted across the Susquehanna. By the evening camp fires they thanked God for his care. A hundred miles after the Susquehanna they splashed across the Potomac at Pack Horse Ford. Then the Valley of Virginia came into their view.
    It was and is a kind of green Eden. The land was open and park-like; for the Indians had periodically burned it over to make hunting easier. Great mountains loomed blue on either side, east and west. The spring comes a few days earlier here than in Chester County, PA. Presently, somewhere around Opequon Creek, Alexander Ross or Robert McKay would meet them, gravely smiling, and lead them to their new home sites.
    
    Alexander Ross had 2373 acres in what is now Frederick County, lying six miles north of Winchester. On this tract Hopewell Meeting House stands, on land set aside by Ross for that purpose, and near by he established his home, (adj. to Evan Thomas) where he was living at the time of his death in 1748.l2
