Rich,
For Sarah Jane Cobb, her line may be followed from my Barnstable line file
at
http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~cobb/hen/d0004/g0000099.html#I19099
(which will be found as a Mayflower line from John Howland and John Tilley).
Her marriage to Robert Boyd and other data was cited in Isaac Cobb's
"History and Genealogy of the Cobb Family in New England" (Vol. 1, p. 175;
1979 edition). Your data will add a few more details to this line. Any other
data to add welcomed.
(I am not a descendant of her line, only the current file manager)
Thanks,
Paul Cobb

I am not one of those, but to clarify to the other readers, the killer problem in most DNA studies is the fact stepchildren, orphans and children out of wedlock. Many of our ancestors--both male and female-were married multiple times and the kids simply took the name of the father.

Message Board Post:
There seems to be a popularly held opinion among some researchers that the pedigree of the Cobbs of County Kent, England is dubious, on the grounds that at least part of it was fabricated to connect the descendants of (1) John Cobb, husband of Dionicia Bonnington, and (2) Thomas Cobb of Reculver to the lineage of the man known as John Cobb of Kent (c1324). All of his known American descendants are from the lineage of Ambrose Cobb, who arrived in Virginia, in 1635.
This argument is based on the criticism of one Ralph Brooke, Esq., who married Thomasyn Cobb, daughter of Michael Cobb and Mary Leigh, and 6th generation descendant of the Thomas Cobb named above.
Ralph Brooke was born in 1553, and for 45 years he was a York Herald in the College of Arms. It is alleged that during the 1619 Visitation of Kent, he falsified documents to establish his wife as a descendant of John Cobb of Kent, and therefore a lady of noble ancestry.
After doing a little investigation, it appears that the defamation of Ralph Brooke's name is unwarranted; and that the pedigree now recognized by genealogists is perfectly legitimate. I submit the following.
>From RS Cobb's book, "The Cobbs of Kent, 1260-1910": Ralph Brooke lived at Reculver and was buried there. 0n the South Wall of old Reculver Church was hung his portrait showing him with a short trimmed beard in full Herald's ceremonials and under was inscribed:
"Here under, quiet from worldly miseries,
Ralph Brook Esquire, late York Herald lies,
Fifteenth of October he was last alive,
One thousand six hundred and twenty five,
Seventy three years bore he fortunes harms,
and forty five an officer of arms.
He married Thomasin, daughter of Michael Cobb of Kent,
Sargent at Arms, by who two daughters God him lent,
Surviving, Mary, William Dicken's wife,
Thomasine, John Eaton's, Happy be their life."
Let us take a moment to determine whether Brooke's shady reputation is deserved. Quoting and paraphrasing selected passages from "Dictionary of National Biography" edited by Leslie Stephen; Vol. VI; Smith, Elder and Co; London; 1886: " ... the entry of his admission into Merchant Tailors' School, on 3 July 1564, simply records the fact that his father was Geoffrey, and a shoemaker. In 1576 he was made free of the Painter Stainers' Company, and four years afterwards was appointed Rouge Croix persuivant in the College of Arms. In March 1593 he became York Herald, but attained no higher rank. That he was an accurate and painstaking genealogist there can be no doubt; it seems equally clear that he was of a grasping and jealous nature, and much disliked by his fellow-officers in the Herald's College."
In 1597, a man named Camden who was not a professional herald was made Clarenceux King-at-Arms. Brooke took great offense by this; and published "A Discoverie of certaine Errours published in print in the much commended Brittania 1594, very prejudiciall to the Discentes and Successions of the auncient Nobilitie of this Realme."
A long and acrimonious controversy followed ... "the only good result being that, through the researches of Brooke, Camden, and Vincent, the genealogies of the nobility were closely investigated, and the first attempt at a printed peerage was made."
It should be noted that three separate individuals ... including Brooke ... were charged with the task of doing this research. If there was any question of Brooke's genealogical skill and credibility, he certainly would not have been included as a member of this investigation.
Brooke also wrote "A Second Discovery of Errors", which was published in 1723, as part of the manuscript of Anstis. He also authored two editions in 1619 and 1622, which bore the lengthy title "A Catalogue and Succession of the Kings, Princes, Dukes, Marquisses, Earles, and Viscounts of the Realme of England since the Norman Conquest to this present yeare 1619. Together with their Armes, Wives and Children, the times of their deaths and burials, with any other memorable actions, collected by Ralph Brooke, Esquire, Yorke Herauld, Discovering and Reforming many errors committed by men of other Professions and lately published in Print to the great wronging of the nobility and prejudice of his Majestie's Officers and Armes, who are onely appointed and sworne to deale faithfully in these causes."
It seems safe to conclude that (1) Brooke himself may or may not have been a product of nobility; and (2) there seems to be ample evidence that he had a difficult personality.
But (3) there can also be no doubt that he was a competent and skilled genealogist ... and utterly dedicated to insure nobody got away with a title they did not deserve ... so much so that he was willing to make himself unpopular and controversial by "blowing the whistle" on his peers, thereby publicly exposing their own false claims of nobility.
