Trying to find more on the Indiana Cobbum family. That spelling seems to be exclusive to the Indiana families. Thinking the name had changed from Cobham. In the bio of Rufus Cobbum, Jackson Co IL it states his father James was born Maryland. Many censuses say Virginia. the bio states, the grandfather was a contractor builder and helped to erect the VA state Capital building. James went to Hocking Co Ohio and married Sarah Webb. Then onto Wells Co Indiana in 1836. Anyone have information on Cobham families of Virginia or Maryland??

Researching the Cobbum family of Indiana. I cannot find this name before their arrival in Indiana. Spelling must have changed. James Cobbum born 1783 Virginia goes to Wells Co Indiana in the 1830's. after a few years in Ohio. He had children, William, Joseph, Henry G., James, Martha, Amos and Rufus. His wife was Sarah born Virginia. One census states James was born in Maryland. Family may have come from there but he was born in VA? Possible. Their first child was born in Hocking Co Ohio 1828. Any one with information on the virginia/Maryland Cobham family that can tie this in?
