Hi Sheilah,
I came across your post while searching for information on my ggrandfather James Anderson Cobb or Cobbs. He was from the Lynchburg VA area and was born in 1844 to Pleasant Augustus Cobbs and Mary A. Wade Cobbs. They appear on the 1850 and 1860 censuses. We have been unable identify James' father, but I believe that it may be Augustus Cobbs. I would not be surprised if John Anderson Cobbs was Pleasant's brother. Since your 2003 posting, have you discovered anything more?

It is interesting that you mention Cobbs in Kanawha County, WV. The Cobbs family has connections to the RICE family back in Prince Edward and Amelia Counties, VA. In 1757 or thereabouts, Samuel Cobb / Cobbs of Amelia County gave a lifetime heir to his plantation in Prince Edward County, Virginia to Francis RICE and his wife (Sarah Womack Rice). We feel there is a definite kinship between Francis and the Cobb families, probably going back to the Warwick / York County area where both families lived.
Several descendants of Francis and Sarah Womack Rice settled in Kanawha County, WV from Charlotte County VA in the 1920's or early 30's: Alexander "Sandy" Rice and his family.

Thanks for answering Angie but my Cobb family is early 1800 to 1820s - I have the family history after that - I am mainly trying to find and learn who the parents were for these Cobb children.
One of our Cobb cousins had his DNA tested - we 'hail' from Ambrose Cobb of Virginia.

Hi
None of these names sound familiar but I will check my records and get back to you. I know my side of the Cobbs come from Fleming Cobbs. My time frame is later than your late 1880's to early 1900's. Later

Hi Angie:
I was wondering - do you have a time frame for these Cobb people?
I am looking for parents of John, Hester and Mary Cobb (siblings born between 1810 and 1819/20). Research and published biographies (1880) do not give their parents names.
Census records state their unnamed Cobb family 'came from' Virginia (West Virginia might fall into this category at this time) and they migrated to Henry County, Kentucky where John was born in 1814, in Madison, Jefferson County, Indiana where Mary was born about 1815 and Hester in 1819.
Thanks,
Margie Hinton (marhinton at earthlink dot net)
