Stephanie, I would be interested to learn of your COBB ancestry but f you could give a date of birth for your Joseph COBB ancestor it would help - or some other details. I have no Joseph COBB on my tree but one of my ancestors is John COBB born and baptised in Bury St. Edmunds, Suffolk in September 1754. He married an Ann someone. His father was also a John COBB possibly born in Suffolk abt. 1730 who possibly married an Elizabeth Clark in 1751. I have this COBB family down through several generations to Betsy COBB born in Hinton, Suffolk, in 1843 and who died in Edmonton in the London area. She was my paternal gr.grandmother.
