Well, it's good to see y'all posting. At least Linda now knows SOMEONE
does exist on this list!
Maxine is right - I don't believe there are many people researching this
surname. I sure haven't run across too many. I can't remember how many
folks we have on the list - seems it's somewhere around 15-20 though.

Hi Paula,
Ann COSBY, dau. of John and Martha (GARLAND) COSBY, was b. 1720 and m. ca.
1736, Griffith DICKERSON. Griffith's will, dated 12 Dec 1783, and probated
Louisa Co., VA. I do not find a dau. Lucy, but the list is likely
incomplete. The listed children were (DICKERSON): Higginson, Charles and Ann.
John COSBY (her father) b. ca. 1680 and d. 1761; will probated 26 May 1761,
Louisa Co., VA; m. (1) 1710, Martha GARLAND, dau. of Edward. Martha b. ca.
1690; d. 1749. John m. (2) 1750, Mrs. Anne (MERIWETHER) JOHNSON.
John COSBY (above) was the son of John and Sarah (____) COSBY, of York Co.,
VA. This John b. 1623, Ireland; d. 1696. He immigrated (1628) to VA with his
father, Charles, as a child. Sarah's (his 2nd wife) will was probated 21 Jul
1740, York Co., VA.
John (above) the son of Charles and Mary (LOFTUS) COSBY.
There is, of course, much more to this family. Hope this helps.
Best wishes,
Dave
