Jesse Cobb was on the 1782 tax/tithe list in Cumberland County, VA. Norvell was an officer in the War Between the States (born about 1824) and was a hotel keeper in Buckingham County, VA in 1851. Norvell's father was William Cobbs and his mother was a Puryear. Does anyone have any info on these two men? Were either men descendants of Ambrose Cobbs, "The Imigrant"? The Jesse Cobb(s) who was the great-grandson of Thomas Cobb(s) and Mary Shields appears to have been born much too late (1778) to have been on a tax/tithe list in 1782. Thanks!

The following census copy for 1880, came from http;//wwwfamilysearch.org
I would really like to know the name of the father who is missing from the census. Benjamin David Cobbs married in Dade County, Missouri on 27 January 1884, to Salina Butler (middle name) Workman. Some of their children were born in Dade Co. MO, and some in Linn County, Kansas, which isn't that far away. Most of the family eventually settled in the Southwestern counties in Kansas.
Please, I need some help.
Thank you,
Joy
