Hello new cousins, and thank you for the warm welcome. I just received some
information that helped me to make my COSBY connection clearer. I am the
listowner for the FINE mailing list, and have been concentrating in that area.
Let me introduce myself, first.

My great-grandmother was Ruthy COSBY (1814-1875 b AL d AR) who married Peter
FINE. (Her siblings married into the WILLIFORD, LEWIS, and MANKINS
lines....also in my Arkansas batch of cousins)
Ruthy's father was Wiley COSBY (1800 - 1849? Disappeared in the Gold Rush)
born in Virginia. Married Mary?
That's all I have had for 20 years, until an old pedigree from 1964 came by
serendipitous genealogy to me this week. Now, I show that Wiley's father was
James Woods COSBY 1775-1874 (VA and AL), who was the son of Colonel James
COSBY, M.D., of the Colonel Sevier fame and Isabella Woods. And here, my
problems begin. Before I go into all my varying information, is anyone from
this line who could tell me who Colonel James Cosby's father was? I have 3
conflicting websites, one pedigree, no proof, "Over the Misty Blue Hills", and
confusion!
Again, thanks for the warm welcome,
Kaye
