Pam, here's what I have. Lafayette Cobb was born GA Apil 10 1841, died May 2 1897. Lydia born GA 1835, died Feb 15 1932 at the home of her daughter, Mrs. R. S. Noble, in San Augustine, TX. Lafayette served in the military during the civil war. Enlisted Cussetta, GA, Company C, 10th GA Regiment. Served with his brother Isaac, and cousins Ben, George W., J.H., and Frank. Lydia Cobb applied for a CSA Widows pension in Sabine County, Pension #16435. She applied for the pension May 17, 1909, claiming assets of $100. She states in her pension applicaton that she and Lafayette had been living in TX since 1870. They had at least two children, daughter Maggie, married Payne, daughter married Noble. Hope this helps.
