Rebekah Frazee Cochran - 1111 - Officially Missing

Rebekah Frazee b. 1934-1941 1945 in either Utah or Louisiana Georgia She married (Charran Glendenning Graham b. 5/1/1942 and) Mr. Randy? Cochran and they lived in Portland, Tennessee in 1986.

Rebekah and Mr. Cochran Graham had two children who are also missing

11111. Wilmonte Cochran, Graham b. 1951-1970 and 11112. Anita Cochran Kay Graham b. 1951-1970

Between the two children and their unknown spouses, they had one child named Michael.  1111X1. Michael ? b. ? He (Bill Frazee later) married a woman named May ? who had four children from a previous relationship.

Their names are Dona, Nancy, Henry and Ray

Michael causes a special problem in that he is not mentioned in the 1986 obituary of his great grandmother, but by the 1996 obituary of his great grandfather, he is married with four kids.  (Again, it wasn't Michael, it was Bill, his great, grandfather who married May) No doubt that was just an oversight on the person who wrote the obituary. 

The existence of Michael would tend to push the birth dates of his parents and grandmother earlier, as it is unlikely that May would have married a teenager.  If he were 26 in 1996, so born in 1970, Wilmonte or Anita were most likely born around 1952, and Rebekah born near 1934 as Rebekah's parents (Wilmonte and Helen) were married in 1933.  His existence also pushes Rebekah's birth location out of Georgia and back to Utah or there's a small chance not until Louisiana.  (See what happens when you misunderstand the wording of an obituary.)

However, this pushing births into tighter and tighter windows and the fact that the people don't show up in those windows tends to make me think that; Rebekah might have been adopted, Rebekah might have been divorced and her first husband and father of her children was not named Cochran, and that Michael could also have been adopted.

Update: Thanks to an email contact with Dona, I have found Becky and can clarify this a bit- whereas the obit says "his great grandson Michael, his wife May and her four kids" It should be clarified that May was not Michael's wife but Bill's second wife. Therefore Rebekah was able to have been born much later - which she was - Rebekah Helen “Becky” Frazee b. 7/18/1945 in Wildwood Georgia d. 10/7/2012 in Fort Oglethorpe, GA and is buried near Calhoun, GA married Graham then Cochran then went back to Graham.

I have added notes to W.D.'s obituary to clarify things and now I would like to find Beck's obituary to add it as well,
