Sam Cobb was my great grandfather. My father spent a lot of time to find his biological father only to find he had passed away before he had the chance to meet him. I have been trying to research the family tree as much as possible as I am far better suited to use the internet than my father. Anyone with additional information please contact me I would love to know more or if I have family here in the U.S. My email is nmc0506 at yahoo.com

I can tell you that Elizabeth and Benjamin got married on May 26, 1859. Also from what I have found out Elizabeth died in 1880 I am not sure if this is 100% percent accurate she might have died earlier or a little later. But their marriage date is correct.

RE: Elizabeth Collins who married Benjamin Cobb, son of the Frances Cobb who was murdered in 1861.
Elizabeth and Benjamin were married before June 1860. They were enumerated on that census, living in the 2nd District of Mason County.
Elizabeth appears on the 1860 & 1870 census of Mason County. She consistently gave a date of birth of 1840/41.
Therefore, Elizabeth was NOT the daughter of the Thompson Collins who appeared on the 1870 census of Mason County.
Elizabeth and Benjamin Cobb are not found on the 1880 census, but he is found on the 1900 census of neighboring Lewis County, listed as a widower. He moved back to Mason County before 1910. He died in 1911 and was buried at Bethany Church Cemetery in Mason County.

"The Cobb Murders"
Murder of a Family in Maysville, Ky.
One of the most atrocious murders we have ever been called upon to record occurred at a farm house on the Maysville and Orangeburg road, two miles from Maysville, In Mason County, Ky on the 24 inst. The victims were an odd man named Cobb and his two sons - one aged 16, he other about 21 years. Two men, named Charles Collins and ___ Moore, entered Mr. Cobb's house and seizing an ax, entered the room in which the young men slept, and deliberately butchered them. They then entered the bedroom occupied by Mr. And Mrs. Cobb. With a couple of heavily dealt blows upon the head they dispatched Mr. Cobb. They also struck his wife once or twice, and evidently thought they had killed her. - Though very severely wounded, she is likely to recover. Having completed their horrible work of blood, they proceeded to search the house for money, and finding about $200 in a bureau drawer, departed with it.
The object of the murder was booty, as one rullians understood that Mr. Cobb had a large amount of money in his possession at the time. What makes the deed appear still more inhuman is the fact that one of the murderers - Collins - is nearly related to Mr. Cobb.
Article furnished by Keith A. Selke, 2322 Silver Maple Ct., Indianapolis, IN 46222 on July 20, 1983. The original is located in the Western Reserve Historical Society, Cleveland OH.

Since he was born before 1930, it would be possible to find him listed on the census taken that year. To positively identify him, do you know the names of any other family members, particularly parents and siblings?

My paternal grandfather was in an orphanage in New York as a child. He was sent to California when he was deemed too old to be in the orphanage. His name was Emory Albert Cobb, Sr. He said he remembered having a brother named Charley with him, but the orphanage burned down and all records were lost. I don't know if this is the thread you're looking for, but any info would help!
Thank you and good luck!

The DNA project now has three males who are direct descendants of Asa of New York. They aren't all the same family. I believe one is a descendant of Asa Cobb and Sarah Stephens. I am descended from John Wesley Cobb (son of Ziphron/Cyprian) and Elizabeth Brundage who lived in Greenfield, PA. John W. had seventeen children with two wives! Bet that's a lot of descendants. I would love to hear anything you know about this family. Diane
