Hi John: I descend from Nancy Cobb born about 1837 in Houston Co, GA, according to the 1850 Chattahoochee Co, Ga census. She had a brother Benjamin Cobb listed with her. They were residing in the household of a cousin. I suspect Nancy and Benjamin were children of James M Cobb, also on the Chattahoochee Co census of 1850. There are several James M Cobbs in the county. This one supposedly was born about 1797 in Georgia. His first wife (I do not know her name) was the mother of Nancy and Benjamin. After here death, James M married a McNaughton/McNorton who died in 1849. There were children from the second marriage, too. Nancy married in 1855 in Chattahoochee Co to Samuel K Howell, son of Bryant D Howell and Mary his wife. Samuel died in the Civil War. You also mention Bagley. I descend from the Bagleys of North Carolina. My Bagleys came to Franklin Co, Georgia in the 18-0's. After the father died the adult children moved on to Forsyth and Gwinnett Co, GA. I do not know the lineage of the Bagley in Chattahoochee. I suspect he is related to mine in NC and Eastern Georgia. MIC Mic Barnette writes a genealogy column in the Houston Chronicle.
