    1. [ARCONWAY-L] Re: ARCONWAY-D Digest V99 #54
    2. Lisa, I am researching the surnames of Cobb and Wild. The Cobbs were from Giles Co. Tennessee and moved to westward to Arkansas and settled in Arkansas. Richard Lafayette Cobb was born in Giles Co. Tennessee in September of 1833. He fought for the Condfederacy in the Third Arkansas Regiment(Cavalry). He is buried in Morrilton. His headstone is a confederate monument. R.L. Cobb was the son of Robert and Ann Cobb(who were cousins), they emigrated to Tennessee from Virginia. R.L. Cobb married Mary Ann Elizabeth Warren, who was his first cousin(her Mother was a Cobb). She was born in Giles Co. Tennessee in 1829. They were the parents of several children, many of whom died in infancy. There was an Isabelle, and Josephine Abigail Cobb. Josephine Abigail was my Great-grandmother. She was born in Giles Co. Tennessee on September 29, 1856. Josephine Abigail Cobb married William Harvey Wild on June 3, 1875, in Conway Co. Arkansas. They had several children: Edward, Jennie, Mary, Ben, Wilma, Laura, and Charles. Jennie was my Grandmother. I know quite about the Cobbs, but nothing, or almost nothing about the Wilds, and would greatly appreciate any help anyone can give me. I know that Will Wild worked for Drury Warren, who was the brother of Mary Ann Elizabeth Warren Cobb. On the 1870 census he is listed as a domestic servant. I know that much and his date and place of birth(even that is not clear). I would like to know who his parents were and where they came from. I am hoping that you will add these names to your Conway Co. Surname list, they all lived there. Sincerely, Stephanie Shurley Kengirl57@aol.com
