The Cochrane Crest The name COCHRANE, which dates back to the middle l200's, is long established in the Scottish peer- age. Waldeve de COCHRANE for Coveranj whose name appears on a Scottish land grant in 1262, is the first person of record in the COCHRANE line. In 1647, William Cochrane was granted the title of Baron. Lord Cochrane of Dundonald became his title in 1669, when he was elevated to the title of Earl. The exact years when members of the family settled in America are uncertaing however, it is known that several daughters and sons of the eighth and ninth Earls of Dundonald were married in New York prior to 1775. Of particular note is Thomas Cochrane, the tenth Earl of Dundonald C1775-18601, who was an Admiral of the First Rank in the Royal Navy. In 1814, Lord Cochrane was a Captain in the Royal Navy and a member of Parliament. During that year, his name became associat- ed with a stock scandal, and he was stripped of all rank and title. He then traveled to Chile where he became Commandant of the Chilean Navy. Several years later he assisted Brazil in forming that country's naval service. For this he is known as the '4Father of the Brazilian Navy. Prior to returning to Britian, he became Com- mander in Chief of the Greek Navy. Upon his return to England, he conducted many experiments and attempted to interest the Royal Navy in steam powered ships. Eventually, for his service to his own and foreign Navies, he was promoted to the rank of Rear Admiral, and later became an Admiral of the First Rank. He is buried in Westminister Abbey. The basic Cochrane crest, less the greyhounds, prob- ably originated sometime between 1262 and 1647. Sup- porters for the crest fgreyhounds in this easel denote peerage, so it is assumed that they were added when William Cochrane became a Baron in 1647. In addition to the supporters, the crest granted to the Earl Dundon- ald included a helmet on which the horse was standing. This indicated that the title of the bearer of the crest fell within a certain area of peerage. Although we are using the basic crest granted to Lord Cochrane, it has been modified somewhat for our use as a ship's crest. xxxt xi xxxx Wxy kfaq' y- WTF V 21 49o '1 Q lus pl! ,ynt 'Y' L iitit sg' 4 at XV' infra: RE S COC1-lm' ,, ..- Y TJ-
