I understand what you are trying to say but the Y chromosome isn't
diluted. The Jones boy does not inherit it.
Honor

The girl who marries the Jones guy has a boy who will have the Y
chromosome of his Jones father, not of the Cobb grandfather.
Everytime
you add in another father from different family you dilute the
original
Cobb Y chromosomes..... A direct Cobb male producted from the sperm of
a
direct Cobb male will pass down the exact duplicate of his Y
chromosomes
to his son. Occasionally, but not frequently there will be a
mutation
on the chromosome, but this is a mutation, not and addition from some
other non Cobb male.
Patti,
They mean with this DNA test you can only follow the direct male line. But I
know what you mean. When I first started many years ago, an older fellow in my
class said he was only doing his male line. I said, "But you are all those
female's descendant too!"
He said, "Well not as much". Ha! I gave up.
Carleen
I found them in 1930 in Oklahoma City. Alfred's mother was Mary
Bayles Petty. Her mother who also died in Ok Cty 1936, was Mildred Williams
Bayles b 1855 in Texas.
I can't find either of them in 1920. Mildred was pretty old by then, so she
should be with her daughter, who paid her burial expenses.

I don't think that's what anyone is doing. We could do the same with the
female lines and if we had plenty of money we would. It costs more than
double the cost for the males to have the female lines done. If you
know your line is a female named Cobb we have a good chance of figure

Well, I found a family that had a girl who didn't show up in one census
but was there in the next census as she should have been all along. I
don't know the answer totally but these people who were living there are
at least a good clue.

I saw this one too, but since there wasn't a dau named Flora there, I doubted
it. Although there is a space for another child between that 11 and 4 yrs
old.
I read all the Cobbs there in 1920. I found a Leona age 36 in 1930, but in
1920 this family did not have a Flora either.
It has me mad now!
Carleen
> I have a little info on FLORA MAE COBB...born 1911 in Purcell .OK.
Please note that the following info is reported in sequence as I've
searched. Read all the way to the bottom before deciding that it is
correct.
1920 Purcell, McClain, OK, has a Will Cobb 38, wife Leonnie 36, sons Leo
14, Bethel 11, and dtr Billy who is 4 yr 5mo. ed 81 b 6B . A 9 yr old
female named Flora Mae would be nice here but is not listed.
There is another Cobb in this town named A. B. age 36, father was E. L.
age 67, mother was Nettie age 69, brother Albert age 33, and brother
Virgil 22. in ED 81 p 23A. the census taker was extremely sloppy with
his work, had to keep scratching through the household number, etc and
didn't make it clear which surname carried down, etc.
There were also other Cobbs in McClain co that year.
But none of them have a dtr named Flora or Mae....and only this one has a
wife named Leonna or Leonnie? Most likely the census taker was slap
happy and left off a kid or two...
Now going back to 1910 in McClain Co, OK we find Elisha Cobb with wife
Arnettie, this is is Elisha L. Cobb and Arnettie Haley. Elisha is son
of John Cobb b.c 1820 in TN and wife Mary Jane b c 1824 in TN who are
shown in the 1850 Polk Co, TN census.
In 1910, Elisha has a son Arthur Bryant, (A. B.) Harvey (John Harvey),
Virgil L. at home. The record says they have had 11 children 7 of whom
are living. Will would be married by this time and is on page 237 in
Purcell with wife whose name is Connie so I don't know if Leonnie or
Connie is correct. But Leo is there and so is Bethel who this time is a
girl....
Don't know if this helps or not!!
There is a James H. Cobb in 1910 whose wife is named Laura L. and they
have a dtr named May but she is 12. Also other kids in the household and
they are in Turnbull twp.
