I just have names and no connection.

Hello thanks for posting. I am trying to find male decendents of Ronnie Cobb or his brother, if he had one. I want to try to get a dna sample for testing our Cobb line. I don't believe there are any other male descendents from John Cobb and Elizabeth Haynes. Do you have any info on Ronnie ?

I think that might be a bit too early for there to be a connection. Andrew Cobb is on the 1901 census in Scotland so I believe he must have emigrated some time after that.
There may be a link elsewhere though. Please feel free to contact me if you'd like to discuss it further. I'd be very interested to hear any tips you have for researching in South Africa as I'm finding it very difficult!

Hi, I am researching the Mohr family in South Africa and came across some information relating to my great grandmother ( on my dad's side ) a certain Fanny Jane Cobb, who was married to a Richard Thomas Crumplin.

My grandmother was born on 20/5/1894 in Sterkstroom, EASTERN CAPE SOUTH AFRICA, where her father was employed as a carpenter.According tothe Fronteir Red Book, he was still living there in 1906.I have no idea where and when either of her parents came from.

Here are my records on
Nathan COBB (27 Feb 1807- 24 June 1892)
All except the coroner's report, came from R. S. Worthington's scrapbook.
Erica Voolich
(1)
News article (no paper given with clipping, found in Robert Worthington’s
scrapbook):
FAMILY REUNION
On the 10th of June at the residence of Nathan Cobb, of Oak Park,
occurred a very pleasant and interesting reunion of the four brothers composing the
Cobb family. The names ages and residences are as follows:
Nathan Cobb, of Oak Park, in his 81st year.
Rev. N. Cobb, Washington D.C., in his 79th year.
L.J Cobb, 5946 Wentworth avenue, Englewood, in his 75th year.
Rev. H. W. Cobb, of Waukegan, in his 72nd year.
It has been many years since the brothers and their wives had all met
together, and is needless to say the reunion was a joyous one, and many a
pleasant remembrance of youthful days was indulged in.
*******

"Mr. Cobb, the father of the Mrs. Robert S. Worthington, wife of the
Assistant Secretary of the Board of Trade, was instantly killed yesterday at
Oak Part by a freight train on the Northwestern Railroad. The old
gentleman suffered from a sunstroke early in the summer, and has not been in his
right mind since, and Mr. and Mrs. Worthington, with whom he lived have
endeavored to keep him at all times under the eye of some member of the family.
He wandered from the house unobserved, however, yesterday, went to the
railroad track, and was struck and killed by a passing train. The funeral will
take place at noon to-day."
(3)
"Nathan Cobb of Oak Park, father-in-law of Robert S.Worthington of
the Board of Trade, was struck and killed by a Chicago and Northwestern train
at Oak Park Friday afternoon. Mr Cobb was 86 years old and so feeble that
he had to use two canes in walking. Friday he was walking on the
Northwestern tracks and failed to notice the train until it was within about fifty
feet of him. He was not quick enough to escape. He was picked up from the
ditch dead. At the coroner's inquest, held yesterday afternoon, the
railroad company was exonerated."
(4)
Oak Park Vindicator, Friday July 1, 1892:
“On Friday afternoon of last week, Mr. Nathan Cobb,the aged father of Mrs. R
S Worthington, was instantly killed at the crossing of Maple Avenue by being
knocked down by a Northwestern freight train. Mr. Cobb had been helpless for
some time, walking with the aid of two canes, and although the engineers
whistled and applied the brakes, Mr. Cobb was unable to cross the tracks in time to
prevent the catastrophe. He was a native of Bath Maine, and eighty-six
years of age. He came to Chicago in 1849, and was at one time connected with the
father of Lyman R Gage of the 1st National Bank in a planing mill. The
funeral took place Sunday to Oakwoods.”

“Coronor’s Inquest #10508, upon the body of Nathan Cobb at Oak Park in the
Town of Cicero
Cook County, state of Illinois, on the 25th day of June 1892,
VERDICT: The said Nathan Cobb now lying dead at Oak Park in said town of
Cicero County of Cook State of Illinois came to his death on the 24th day of
June AD 1892 on the C & NW Ry Cos tracks at Oak Park Ills from shock and
injuries received caused by being accidentally struck by engine #799 driving a
special frieght train belonging to the C & NW Ry Cos depot at Oak Park Ills while
deceased was in the act of walking in said company’s tracks in June 24th 1892.”
The names of the jurors and witnesses are included. The witnesses are Robert
S Worthington of Oak Park, Secy Board of Trade [his son-in-law], Robt
Carmichael Baggage Master, William Wilder messanger, and George Green Loco Engineer.”
Note:
I can find no death certificate for him. He is buried at Rosehill
Cemetery in Chicago, not what his death notice says.

The first is a prize at Hamilton College in his name and the second is his

THE LATE W. A. COBB.
THE REMAINS ARRIVED IN ROME AT 1:37 P.M.
They were accompanied By Friends From Lockport--Deposited in the Family Plot
in Rome Cemetery--Further Particulars of Mr. Cobb’s Last Illness.
The remains of Hon. Willard A. Cobb who died in Lockport on Tuesday,
reached here at 1:37 p.m. today. They were accompanied by William L. Cobb of
Chicago, a cousin of the deceased, the Rev. B. M. Nyce, G.G. Lansing, Mrs.
Tucker and Undertaker F. P. Weaver from Lockport and JOhn C. Birdseye of the
state civil service commissioner’s office in Albany. Hon. William M. Collier of
Auburn, one of MR. Cobb’s colleagues on the civil service board, came here
this morning. The other member of the board, Col. Silas W. Burt of New York,
is ill at his home and was unable to be present. Many beautiful floral
offerings came with the remains. There was one design bearing “30” signifying
among printers, “the end.” This was from the employees of the Lockport
Journal. Other designs were a Masonic emblem from Niagara Lodge, F. & A.M., of
Lockport, and a wreath from the employes of a large book printing concern of which
the deceased was a part owner. The remains were enclosed in a handsome
black broadcloth draped casket, with an oak outside box.
The remains were taken to the Rome cemetery and deposited in the family
plot beside those of Dr. and Mrs. J.V. Cobb, parents of the deceased. The
committal services were conducted by Rev. Benjamin Nyce of Lockport, assisted
by Rev. Charles G. Sewall of the Presbyterian church.
The bearers were Dr. C.C. Reid, A.M. Jackson, J.S. Hovey and A.C.
Kessinger.
Relating to the death of Willard Adams Cobb of Lockport, the Journal of
that city has the following:
While Mr. Cobb had not been in his usual good health for some time
there has been nothing about his condition, up to the very few hours of his death,
which occasioned apprehension as to his state. He returned the latter part
of last week from Albany, where he had been summoned in his official capacity
as president of the State Civil Service Commission to a conference with
Governor Roosevelt.
On his way home to this city he stopped in Utica, where he had a host
of friends, some of whom he made in the earlier days of his life, when he was
the city editor of a Utica paper. The Utica Observer says:
Only last week Willard Adams the editor of the Lockport Journal and
President of the State Civil Service Commission, held out a hearty had to some of
his friends in Utica. He was on his way home from Albany,m and stopped over
to see Mrs. Bussey, one of the early friends of his family. He looked well,
and made no complaint of ill health, although it is now said that he has
but weakly born the loss of his mother and another near relative during the past
two years.
On the morning of the day of his death Mr. Cobb seemed cheerful and in
better health than at any time since his homecoming from Albany. During the
morning he called in Dr. H.C. Hill who remained with him during the morning
at his urgent solicitation. Earlier in the morning he was on the street and
he spoke cheerily with such of his acquaintances as he met. Dr. Hill left
him in the afternoon. Mr. Cobb seemed to require no special medical
attendance, but craved companionship as would be natural in a convalescent state. Dr.
Hill returned to Mr. Cobb’s apartments early in the afternoon and found him
lying upon a couch in his sitting rom in an unconscious condition. He at once
summoned Dr. M. S. Kittinger. It at once became evident that there was
little if any hope of recovery. Everything was done that medical science could
suggest but death came quietly at a few minutes before 5 o’clock in the
afternoon.
No sooner had the news become in a measure public than reports and
rumors began to circulate as to the cause of death. It may be said on the
authority of attending physicians that these reports were unwarrented by the
circumstances surrounding his death.
Mr. Cobb is survived by no relative close in relationship than cousin.
Mrs. Henry M. Colgrove of Sharon Pa., recently of Salamanca, is a first
cousin, and Willard L. Cobb of Chicago is a second cousin.
To the Memory of Willard A. Cobb
We’ll miss from the off the Journal’s page,
The skillful work you’ve penned;
And all will sadly mourn your loss,
Esteemed and gifted friend.
Your pen was ‘mightier than the sword’
And triumphed more, by far,
Than all the famous battle blades,
Unsheathed in brutal war.
And when you won in gallant fight,
Great kindness you displayed,
Your genial wit soon healed the wound,
Your trenchant pen had made.
Your busy hands are now at rest,
Your life’s work has been done;
Among the brightest and the best
An honored place you won.
Now, at your old and distant home,
They’ll make your ‘narrow bed,’
Near by the ones you loved and lost,
You’ll sleep with kindred dead
CHARLES H. SQUIRES.
Lockport, N.Y., May 31, 1900
The Lockport Union-Sun says: About three years ago Mr. Cobb’s mother, a
most estimable lady, died. This deep affliction left an indelible mar upon
her loving son. Not long after, Miss Howell, Mr. Cobb's cousin and the last
of his relatives whom he had known on terms of intimacy followed her to the
grave. Mr. Cobb was prostrated and although he rallied, he seemed to be
afflicted by n overwhelming sense of isolation that bordered closely on acute
melancholia. But this could not take a complete hold upon him because of his many
duties, official and professional, and he seemed in a measure to forget his
grief. For years he had not been in the best of health.”

Paul
thank you for the information.? I am traveling right now and I will try to remember when I get home to post the whole obituary for Willard on the e-mail list, if folks are interested.
I also have the text of Nathan Cobb's death coverage in the newspaper that I could post.? I don't have my computer with me on this trip.
If I forget, just remind me in a week!
The help I got from my original posting did connect them as cousins--I suspected they were but wasn't sure.? I have the mail notifying Martha Elnora her of her inheritance from Willard and so I figured they were cousins.
I have been transcribing any family obits that I find.? A local town historian is supposed to be mailing me an obit for Nathan's wife, I only have the 2-line death notice.
Is anyone on this list in the Chicago area?
If you are interested, I understand there are other Cobbs buried in the same cemetery as Nathan and his wife but the person I called could only confirm their names and didn't have time to list all the Cobbs for me.? So, if anyone is looking, that might be a place to pay a visit to and to record the information on the stone.? I think it was Rosehill, but I would need to check my records when I get home.

I'm new to the list and am descended from Henry COBB (c. 1596-c. 1679). The
last COBB in my family is Elnora COBB (1840-1923) who marrired Robert Searing
WORTHINGTON.
Their daughter Martha Elnora inherited some money from Hon Willard A COBB of
Rome NY who died in 1900 in Lockport. He was the son of Elvira and JV COBB.
I have an obituary in R.S. Worthington's scrapbook.
I do not know anything more about Willard Cobb and would love to connect him

Have you any information about Mary Finch the wife of Asa Cobb b 1724 d 1799 Wallkill,Orange Co., NY? Or any info about Meriam Hunt who married Zipron?
Would you have any information about John Lowry who married Sarah Cobb the daughter of Zipron and Meriam? Would you happen to know when and where Mary (Polly) Cobb married Benjamin Abbott Decker?
Are there any family stories?
Thanks!
