Hi Pam,
I would like very much to know how you descend from Ambrose Cobb/s. I also descend from him according to the DNA study, but have a few generations of undetermined sons and sons of sons, etc. yet to figure out.
My email is vcgreene(a)att.net. Thanks.
Virginia Greene
Anne,
Thank you so much! I'm getting all this information together to make my
choices. All your help is very much appreciated.
And Happy Thanksgiving to all my Cobb kin!
Kim
I am involved in DNA testing with three different companies.
The Cobb/Cobbs study is with Relative Genetics.com. I am also closely
following the Cotton study there. They have a highly respected track
record. These are surname studies, i.e Y chromosomal studies done on a
male born of a father of that particular surname (Cobb/Cobbs, for
example)
I am an administrator and am actively involved in several surname
projects with FamilyTreeDNA.com They have a solid reputation; they
work with National Geographic, for example, on the World Genographic
project. Again, Y chromosome, passed from father to son, so the males
must be of the targeted surname.
The Crocker surname project happens to be with a third company that I
know little about and consequently will not comment on.
Obviously the thing to do is to decide which company hosts the project
that you want to be a part of. Testing is generally considerably
cheaper if you are part of a project. And your results will
automatically be compared to others within the project. You can always
upload results anonymously to mega databases that compare results
across projects and companies, to the extent that folks volunteer to
upload data there. For example, there is a small group of Cobbs who
have tested with FTDNA. Their data should be/can be available to the
Relative Genetics group and vice versa, sometimes with a small fee for
the transfer, but most easily by uploading to the mega databases.
Most importantly, you will need the support of others in the project
and the administrators who are reading and studying to try to
understand the ever growing complexities of the various DNA tests.
Remember: Y chromosomal DNA testing (done on males, since they alone
bear the Y chromosome--males XY, females XX) is highly reliable back
for many generations --15 or more at least.
Biology 1 for review: males have two chromoses that pair together in
the DNA strand--XY. Females DO NOT HAVE Y--they are X and another X--
XX.
Dad passes on a duplicate of his one Y chromosome to his son--it's
basically the same Y chromosome his dad got from his dad and on back.
There is in general a natural tendency for a mutation to pop up at one
of the 25 to 39 or so markers in the DNA test panel; such a mutation
occurs on average every 4th or 5th generation--but some males have a
much more stable DNA pattern/haplotype that does not mutate easily. We
have several cases of perfect matches over the 37/39 markers for folks
going back 6 or 7 generations with as yet no clear sighting of the
common ancestor.
However, since every female gets an X from the father (who got at
random a copy of one of the two X's of his mother) and an X randomly
from the mother (who in turn got an X from the father and one at random
from the mother), so after 4 generations the maternal lines (X) are
hopelessly convoluted and impossible to predict.
Draw this out on paper (fun to do it with the 64 color box of
Crayolas!), and you will see that there is a very small chance of
testing to see if my greatgrandmother Cobb born ca 1820 belonged to the
Uncle Buck or the Wiley line or another unrelated Georgia Cobb line,
even if each of her maternal ancestors carried the Cobb surname. Her
XX's are NOT REFLECTIVE of the Y that represents the surname or the
father's paternal line.
We do have a couple of examples within the projects I'm following of a
woman matching another woman proven to belong to a certain well
documented parents and who happened to belong to two generations
earlier (the offspring of the youngest child of the youngest child of a
very large family). But even if you test your DNA against your
mother's sister or a maternal aunt, the chances of matching are less
than 50%.
MtDNA testing is generally done to test for deep roots (say the
migrations of the 3rd century or earlier) and is not useful for the
type of genealogy most of us are doing. Very interesting stuff,
however. Take a look at the National Geographic World Genographic
project.
Looking at your particular case: there is no way you can test yourself
to find that possible particle of DNA from a 1635 marriage of a Mary
Cobb! Now if you can find a proven brother for your Mary and find a
Cobb surnamed male descendant (direct male line descendant), you can
sponsor him for the Y-DNA Cobb/Cobbs project and have the joy of seeing
which family he matches and how.
Sorry about that....
Now about that Dunham--my husband's Crockers were in Plymouth with
those Cobbs and Dunhams and he has a Dunham matriarch born 1721.....

Pardon me for a change of subject, but the subject of DNA testing has sort
of popped up. I am currently debating getting a DNA swab done and I would like
some questions answered first.
First of all, what is a reputable company to get this done? For the amount
of money involved I'd like some solid science.
Secondly, how can I assure that my DNA will be compared to those in the
family lines I am pursuing? As you can tell, I am totally clueless about the
whole thing.
An example of what I'm asking. I am descended from Mary Cobb, born about 24
mar, 1635, who married John Dunham in 1657 in Plymouth, MA. Naturally I'd like
to be tested against both family lines.
Thank you in advance for your help.

HOAX ALERT - Elizabeth Cobb and Samuel Moss
This is a long message. You'll just have to bear with me or delete it
without reading it at all.
>From time to time a particular claim (re)emerges on the net, to wit: Samuel
Moss, born about 1716; married Elizabeth Cobb about 1742, and ....
(1) They were married in either Surry or Sussex county, Virginia or
Granville Co, NC . take your pick. For the record, Sussex was not even created
until 1753.
(2) She was the daughter of the Robert Cobbs who was born in what is now
York Co, VA about 1690, and who married a female named Crosia Howel ... and
further, that he was the son of the Ambrose Cobbs who married Frances Elizabeth
Pinkett.
This is a hoax.
#1 - It has now been shown that the wife of Ambrose Cobb was the widow of a
Mr. Pinkett when she married Ambrose. Therefore her maiden name is unknown.
Further, no evidence can be found to show that her name was anything other
than just Elizabeth. Ambrose signed his LWT on April 24, 1718 in York
County, Virginia. It was proved on June 16th of that same year.
Reference:
"Genealogies of Virginia Families, Vol II". Genealogical Publishing Co.,
Baltimore. 1982. Pg 2. Will of Ambrose Cobbs of Bruton Parish Church at
Williamsburg. Witnesses: Anne Frith, Joseph Frith, Matthew Pierce. Dated 24 Apr
1718, proved 16 Jun 1718.
#2 - This particular Robert Cobb(s) ... son of Ambrose, above ... did indeed
marry Crosia . but her maiden name was FRITH. I have no clue where this
Howel business got started. Her parents, Joseph and Ann Frith, witnessed the
LWT of Robert's father Ambrose in York County in 1718 (above). In 1742,
Robert was the executor of the LWT of Ann Frith, Crosia's mother, and he was
specifically named as her son-in-law in that document.
Reference:
"Some Wills from the Burned Counties of Virginia, and Other Wills Not Listed
In Virginia Wills and Administrations, 1632 - 1800". William Lindsey
Hopkins. Richmond. 1987. Pg 60. Ann Frith, will dated 1740, Henrico County.
Other references to her Will:
"Henrico County Order Book, 1737 - 1746"
"Henrico County Wills, 1737 - 1781"
In April 1740, he (Robert) was named the Executor of the Last Will and
Testament of Ann Frith, of Dale Parish in Henrico County. In this Will, he was
specifically identified as the son-in-law of Ann Frith. It is noted from the
Will that he also received the most substantial part of Ann's estate, despite
the fact that a son John F. Frith was also named. John received 200 acres on
the south side of the "second branch" including the plantation where he lived,
along with the family bible. A daughter Rebecca Eddings received one
shilling. Robert Cobbs received 200 acres on the north side of the "second branch"
in addition to the plantation where he lived with all its adjoining lands,
and "all the rest of my estate". Witnesses were George Hastenes, Danell Brown,
and Mary Cobbs.
#3 - Robert Cobb signed his LWT in Halifax Co, VA on June 30, 1768. It was
proved on January 19, 1769. His wife Crosia was not named, therefore it is
assumed she was already deceased. Robert did name five daughters, to wit:
Ann Crumphill ... Elizabeth Cobb ... Sarah Cobb ... Mollie Anderson ... and
Judith who was apparently already deceased, as Robert referred to her two
children.
The daughters that were married were listed under their married name.
Therefore, we can deduce that Elizabeth and Sarah were yet unmarried ... in 1768.
Thus, it is highly unlikely Elizabeth was the bride of Samuel Moss or anyone
else in 1742.
Last but not least, this particular Cobb family never lived anywhere near
Surry or Sussex, Virginia; or Granville Co, North Carolina ... where Elizabeth
allegedly married Samuel Moss. Robert Cobb was born in York County; later
lived in Henrico County; and moved to Lunenburg County in 1749. Halifax was
created from Lunenburg in 1752.
Now, the reference given for this claim about Samuel Moss and Elizabeth Cobb
is never specific. It is merely given as being a History of Henderson
County, Kentucky. There have been two such books published.
(1) History of Henderson County, Kentucky, by Edmund L. Starling, 1887
(2) The History of Henderson County, Kentucky, edited by Frieda J.
Dannheiser, 1980, Henderson County Genealogical and Historical Society.
I have corresponded with the following persons:
Netta Mullins; President of the Henderson County Genealogical Society
Linda Hallmark; Henderson County Public Library
Dorothy Lauver; Henderson County Public Library
Harrell Lambert and Gale Brisa; individuals who own a copy of the book
Both books have been checked and re-checked with the following results.
The 1887 Starling work names one Reuben Moss as being an early Henderson
County pioneer. (It is popularly claimed he was a descendant of Samuel and
Elizabeth.) There is nothing in the book regarding his ancestry. Nada, Nicht!
The 1980 Dannheiser book does list Samuel Moss as being married to one
Elizabeth Cobb. However, (1) the date and place of their marriage is not given,
(2) the source for the information is not cited, and (3) there is no mention
who her parents were.
In short, the entire claim is utterly bogus! It is speculative on my part
that this was probably submitted to Dannheiser by an unknown researcher as
part of a celebratory county history project.
So ... there is no documentation to prove a Samuel Moss ever married an
Elizabeth Cobb. And if such a union ever did occur, (1) Nobody knows where or
when, and (2) She was not the daughter of Robert Cobb and Crosia Frith.
To learn more, I went to the source of all sources for genealogy hoaxes .
the LDS website (www.familysearch.org). Lo and behold, it is revealed this bit
of misinformation has been submitted and re-submitted to the LDS
periodically since 1983. Who knows how many databases and websites are now contaminated
with this junk, not to mention all those "wonderful" WFT CDs.
As I type this now, there are not less than 12 GEDCOMs at the Rootsweb World
Connect Project website propagating this hoax. At least one COBB website
has also picked up on it.
I don't mean to preach, but this hobby can be challenging enough without
having to sort out the garbage that is spread across the internet by otherwise
well-meaning people. It only takes one piece of bad data ... just one time
... to put countless people on the entirely wrong trail. And I cannot help
but put in a plug for DNA testing at this point. Anyone who thinks they don't
need it to verify their findings is seriously disillusioned. It's the only
way to be sure of anything anymore.
I will close by including links to a couple of articles published by
"America's First Families". It would do us all good to read these occasionally.

Their Daughter was 5 Sarah King Cobb (1810 - 1848) who married my gg-grandfather Isaac Hansen Pickering (1811 - 1866) They had Isaac Pickering in 1841. Achsah's father was Silas Winchester who served during the Revolutionary War at the Lexington Alarm. Silas was married to Sally King, daughter of Samual King. Several of these folks moved from Wrathem Mass area to Orrington ME after the War. When Sarah King Cobb died in 1848 Isaac Hansen and 9 year old Isaac moved to WI. I have several brother and sister cobbs through these generations if you think we have some matching relations please email me directly at hmpickon2(a)bendbroadband.com It would be easier to email each other our files directly than doing this o!
