Message Board Post:
I am interested in any information on Cobbs in Va. or WVa. My Dad was born in Lynchburg Va. in 1916 I never knew anything about his side of the family. I know a few years ago he had a cousin that died in Florida. But my Dad's parents passed away when he was very young. He now is ill and can not tell anything. So looking for help.
Thanks

Later generations in this line are pretty well researched, and we have
a line connecting Gideon to the Barnstable Cobbs. But our sources for
this generation and several earlier ones are pretty poor, and I would
love to communicate with others having interest in this line, and
perhaps find some better evidence.
