| Notes |
- Brother to Alexander, Jeremiah Cobb was the only known sibling to
remain in the Edgefield District of South Carolina through both the
move to Abbeville, South Carolina and then to the Alabama Territory.
Family lore does say that not much is known regarding his death
between 1840 and 1850, but he may have finally been on the move west
when he died.
Jeremiah is thought to have been born about 1774, but he was not old
enough to be on the census records that would have helped pinpoint his
age, the age being approximated from the 1800 census. He married
Elizabeth Corley, daughter of Catlett Corley and Susannah Jennings
(researchers, please note there were two Catlett Corleys about the
same age, both living in the same area). They married in Edgefield,
South Carolina before 1800 when they appeared on the census record
with one young son, living not far from Elizabeth's parents. By 1810
they lived next door to the Corleys.
There are not many records available for this Jeremiah Cobb (please
note that there were quite a few different Jeremiah Cobbs alive in
this time period). He and Elizabeth were reported to have the
following children, most of which migrated to Mississippi by 1850,
along with their mother, Elizabeth. There was obviously a few years
spent in Alabama on the way, as census records show some of Jeremiah's
grandchildren were born there.
William b. abt. 1800 as he showed up on that census record
Martha Jane abt. 1803
Rebecca abt. 1805
Amanda abt. 1807
Sara abt. 1808 died before 1810 (could be correct, only 3 dau.
listed in 1810 census)
Elizabeth abt. 1811*
Mary abt. 1811*
Alexander 1810 1820
Isaac Washington 1812
James A. 1816 1820
N. A. (a female) abt. 1820 (all that is known as her named appeared
on a marriage certificate on July 16, 1861 to a F. G. Freeman and I
think this is not a child of Jeremiah's)
Daniel Davenport b. 1826
One researcher added a John S. to the list, but he may be the son of a
George Cobb; and another said they were not sure about the James A.,
he might have been confused with James Andrew, the son of Daniel D.
Of that list, I have seen more on William, Isaac Washington, Daniel
Davenport, Rebecca, Amanda, Elizabeth and Mary, and gotten some better
dates.
