      Response: e-mail from Rob Screws
      21 Feb 1663, Nicholas Cobb purchased 202 acres land in Isle of Wight
      Co, Va
      Col. Beginning on swd side of Flyds Creek issuing out of Pagan Creek
      and
      continuing to Galknie Swamp, thence along Jno Crews sw and continuing,
      adj.
      Mr. Nich. Smith and e from Jajor Jno Bond NW along a path and
      . transfer of 5 person; Suan Cobb, Sr, Mary Cobb, Susan Cobb, Jr, Jane
      Cobb, Jane Howard
      taken from "Cavaliers and Pioneers"

      Sally back to Betty Batchelor: here's a little of Joe's argument.
      Edward's wife name was Dorothy. She must have been the former Mrs.
      Dorothy Blunt, because an inventory of William Blunt's estate was
      presented by Edward Cobb, the now husband of the widow on the 9th of
      July 1687. [Joe H Cobb]

      William Blunt appearances in the Isle of Wight Co records:
      1683 - Joseph Bridger excepted the land which he had previously sold
      to Francis Hobbs, Mrs. Dorothy Bond and William Blunt from the 850
      acre tract he left his son William. 1684 - William Blunt and Nicholas
      Cobb Sr witness the will of Dorothy Bond.
      1686 - William Blunt, about 60 years of age, helped to prove Nicholas
      Cobb's will.
      the Susannah Bird [Byrd] argument runs several pages also.
