Sirs:
I am searching for information about George Wiley Cobb, born April, 1849
in Missouri. He is my Great-grandfather. He married Melissa Angeline Gafford
in 1871 in Yell County, Arkansas. He had the folliwing children: Tony Cobb b.1871,
Levona Cobb b.1872, Mary Viney Cobb b.1874, George Woodson Cobb b.1875, Rosey
Lee Cobb b.1878, William Cobb b.1879, Famey Cobb b.1881, Mimmy Cobb b.1883,
John Cleveland Cobb b.1885, andrew Cobb b.1888. George W. Cobb moved to Hughes
County, Oklahoma around 1900. He died in 1925 in Hughes County.
I have not been able to find any information about George W. Cobb's parents,
grandparents etc. All census information indicates he was born in Missouri,
but have not been able to find him in a Cobb household in Missouri. It is possible
he was born in Illinois and maved to Missouri. Family history has it that he
joined the Confederate Army shortly after arriving in Arkansas at the time of
the Civil War. Any information about the background of George Wiley Cobb greatlly
appreciated. John Cleveland Cobb was my grandfather, but no information in family
history regarding his father, George Wiley Cobb. A.Rich Calif. USA
