Message Board Post:
I am looking for information on the Cobb families in Franklin County, MA. I found a Barney Cobb in the Franklin County 1820 census, but haven't been able to connect him to other Cobbs in the county. In the 1830 census there is a Barney Cobb at Bedford, OH and I have been trying to find a connection. My g-grandfather, Alexis Cobb was born at Bedford, and John and Betsy Cobb in Franklin County also had a son Alexis, so I think there must be a relationship. If you have any more information I would appreciate hearing from you.
Here is what I have on my Cobb descendants. As you can see my Daniel Cobb
was born in
Franklin County, MA, and also his son Daniel.
These Cobbs go back to Elder Henry Cobb.
I will send you more information if you can connect the, as I am sure some
where down the
line they are connected.

RIVERSIDE CEMETERY, Charles City, Floyd county Iowa
http://www.rootsweb.com/~iafloyd/ccriversidecem.html
Samuels Clemons Putney, (husband of Martha K. Shumway, father of Lucy Ann Putney, Lucretia Putney and Sarah Elizabeth Putney) is recorded as simply 'PUTNEY'
Lucretia Putney, second wife of Peter Rose (both Lucretia Putney Rose and husband are listed), she had no children.
* Sarah Elizabeth Putney Cobb, wife of George Nelson Cobb transcription error/listed as 'COFF'
Sarah died in Minneapolis, Hennepin county, Minnesota (I have a copy of her death certificate which records her place of burial as Charles City, Iowa; person supplying information for Sarah was son George Freeman Cobb).
Children of Sarah Elizabeth Putney and George Nelson Cobb were 1. Martha Lurena Cobb, 2. Osgood C. Cobb (my great grandfather), 3. George Freeman Cobb and 4. Harriet "Hattie" Cobb (listed in 1880 census as "Birdie", Harriet Cobb Shekels died in Dade county, Florida @ 1960)
Martha "Mattie" Lurena Cobb, daughter of Sarah Elizabeth Putney and George Nelson Cobb, never married, she died in Minneapolis, Minnesota in 1920 (I have a copy of her death certificate which records her place of burial as Charles City, Iowa; person supplying information for Martha was brother-in-law Franklin B. Shekels, husband of Martha's sister, Harriet "Hattie" Cobb). While Mattie is not listed, I am reasonably sure she would have been buried near her parents in the Riverside Cemetery. She WAS buried in Charles City, Iowa! (It is probable, with more looking needed to prove, that Martha K. Shumway, wife of Samuel Clemons Putney is also buried here).
* Sarah was listed as Sarah A. Putney in census' prior to her marriage, and also in marriage announcement in Waukesha county, Wisconsin, After her marriage she is listed with middle initial "E", or the middle name Elizabeth, the middle name Elizabeth is also used on her death certificate, this is the same person, on death certificate her parents are listed as "father: Samuel C. Putney, mother: Martha K. Shumway"

Marriage of Peter Rose to Lucretia Putney, daughter of Samuel Clemons Putney and Martha K. Shumway
Osgood C. Cobb married Mabel Julia Hall, they are both buried in the Eldora Cemetery, Hardin county, Iowa
George Freeman Cobb married Mary Sherman
Jacab Wilkins Cobb (b. Mar. 5, 1800 in Washington Co., Georgia - d. May 1,
1864 in Americus, Sumter Co., Georgia) is my ancestor. He married Jane Moore
Wheeler Sept. 21, 1826 in Twiggs Co., Georgia. I am descended from their
oldest son, James Jackson Cobb b. September 25, 1827 in Twiggs Co., GA. He
married Mary Ann York Jan. 29, 1846 in Clarke Co., AL.
The Bible that contains the records of this family is located in the Lake
Blacksherar Regional Library in Americus, Georgia. You should be able to get
copies of these records from the library. I have copies that someone made for
me, but they are not great. But, if you would like, I will try to make copies
for you from what I have.
Jacob Wilkins Cobb (b. 1800) is the son of Absolom Cobb (d. 1815-1820) and
Unity Elizabeth Mcdade (b. Jan. 3, 1776 - 1855 in Marion Co., GA.)
Children of Absolom Cobb and Unity Elizabeth Mcdade:
1. James Cobb b. Oct. 16, 1793 - d. 1854 Chattahoochee Co., GA (believed to
be the one listed in 1820 census for Wilkinson Co., GA, with his mother and
siblings listed in his household)
2. Joseph Cobb b. May 14, 1796 m. Kizeire Wadsworth Oct. 19, 1820, Jones
Co., GA. (migrated to Covington Co., AL)
3. Alley Cobb b. Jan. 12, 1798 m. John S. Duncan (migrated to Muscogee Co.,
GA)
4. Jacob Wilkins Cobb b. Mar. 5, 1800 Washington Co., GA; m. Jane Moore
Wheeler (one of the founders of Americus, GA in Sumter Co., GA)
5. Elizabeth Cobb b. Mar. 20, 1802
6. Aquilla Cobb b. May 5, 1805 Washington Co., GA - d. bef. Oct. 5, 1857 in
Chattahoochee Co., GA; m. Sarah Bagley Nov. 3, 1839 Muscogee Co., GA
7. Nancy Cobb b. Mar. 2, 1815 Baldwin Co., GA; m. Elias Folsom Feb. 17, 1835
I do not know why that there is ten years between Aquilla Cobb and Nancy
Cobb. The birth records of these siblings come from Bible records of Nancy
Cobb's descendants.
I will be glad to share any info that I have on these families.

I searched for your folks in the census from 1900-1930 and I can't find them
anywhere, under any spelling that I know, nor by just their first names. I did
find Sisco's SS record, but you probably have that.
Was he still married to Willie Lee Cobb Huitt when she died?
Are they black or white?
