Son of John Cockburn, a Church of Scotland Minister. Received MA from Edinburgh University in 1705 Possibly obtained the perpetual curacy of Nayland, Suffolk but it is more likely that Cockburn was only the temporary Curate-in-charge. Sometime between 1712-14 moved to London to become the curate at St Dunstan-in-the-West, Fleet Street but had to relinquish the appointment because of his refusal to take the oath of abjuration of the former Stuart royal line. Cockburn then taught Latin at a school in Chancery Lane. By 29 November 1726 he reversed his position and was thus appointed minister of St Paul's Episcopal Chapel, Aberdeen and returned to Scotland. He published a number of works upholding the legitimacy of the Hanoverian regime. Cockburn moved back to England in 1737 taking up a post in the of Long Horsley, Northumberland. He died on 4 January 1749 and is buried in the Long Horsley parish church cemetery.
