“Cobb and Cobbs”

(Submitted by BJ Atkinson)

 

 

 

 

(Note: We know that some of these people used the name Cobbs rather than simply Cobb but the index on Ancestry.com has them all as Cobb. Rather than stating incorrectly that one is Cobb and another is Cobbs I’ve left them as they are indexed there.)
