Hello. Please note: Rufus F. COBB is not the son of John "Jack" and Annie
(LONG) COBB. This is on a Cobb research site and it is in error. We
submitted our family census records and the record has not yet been changed.
Charles Rufus Cobb is the son of John "Jack" and Annie (LONG) COBB.
Only time will tell how our COBB-HARRISON family connects with the other
HARRISON lines
After reading about Benjamin Harrison, it makes me curious about why Obidiah
Harrison "Obe" and Bessie Iona (STARR) named their son Benjamin Harrison
COBB and why Obe's parents Rufus and Frances J. Caroline (CATHEY) COBB named
their son - Obidiah Harrison "Obe" COBB.
Even though this family - Rufus F. Cobb is not the son of John "Jack" and
Annie (LONG) COBB and his son Obidiah Harrison "Obe" COBB is not related in
this way either... it does not mean that we are not related... we just don't
know how yet. There is much more to to research here especially with our
HARRISONs and these HARRISON connections. Could there be a connection to
our Bessie (HARRISON) COBB? And or our other HARRISONs like: Benjamin
HARRISON (____ - ____), Bessie HARRISON (ABT 1893 - ____), Frances HARRISON
(____ - ____), Frank HARRISON (____ - ____), James Cuthfield HARRISON
(____ - ____), Jane Virginia HARRISON (____ - 16 Apr 1866), Katherine
Elizabeth HARRISON (____ - ____), Lawrence Wayne HARRISON (13 Mar 1918 -
____), Margaret HARRISON (____ - ____), Mary HARRISON (____ - AFT 1714),
Melba Jean HARRISON, Nathaniel M. HARRISON (13 Aug 1874 - 12 Feb 1969), and
Samuel Jordan HARRISON (____ - ____). Makes one wonder?
So, if any of you find my family familiar, please contact me. I am willing
to share what ever I have on the rest of my family.
SURNAMES: COBBS, COBB, MILLER, HARRISON and COBBS/COBB, BEACH, BRADSHAW,
FIELDS, JONES, SCRUGGS, KING, ROBINSON/ROBERTSON,
BEALE/BEAL, BEAN and HILL/
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Peace and blessings. Happy Researching.
