Anyway, the point is that this stuff is not all fresh in my mind. When you say that Kinchen and Wm G. Cobb lived in different parts of the county in 1860 do you mean on complete opposite sides of the county or just different townships? I wanted to share one thing I had in my notes- it may not be worth much because I'm not sure if I have proof or not. I have in some of my Brand notes that Sarah Britt, daughter of Wm Britt, was the second wife of Isaac Brand born circa 1780. All for now. Tracy

Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/GUB.2ACE/479.1.1.1 Message Board Post: Allen, No I don't have a direct line to a Kinchen Cobb. I have a direct line to a William G. Cobb who was in Greene Co. the same time as your Kinchen. In fact, Wm G. Cobb is buried in the Cobb/Brand/Butts cemetery in Greene Co. near Farmville. I suspect that Kinchen and William G. were probably closely related, possibly brothers. But I haven't been able to find anything anywhere to help trace either one of these Cobb men. Thanks in part I'm sure to the Pitt and Greene courthouse fires. Anyway, I don't have any information on Kinchen in Edgecombe. All I remember is that somewhere I saw a Kinchen Cobb listed in a Mexican War roster as having served from Edgecombe Co. I think I remember his being listed as a drummer or some kind of musician. I found no reference to Kinchen Cobb in the Edgecombe deeds and wills. I did not check the estate records though. I don't know if you have tried to do any work on your Kinchen, but if you have you might be able to shed some light on one question. I believe the only Cobb on the Greene Co. census of 1840 was a Nancy Cobb. Do you have any idea who she was. Was she connected with Moses Cobb of the 1830 Greene census or was she a widow of one of the Pitt Co. Cobbs. I have no clue. Thanks for your consideration. I have a feeling that if we could find anything on either Kinchen or Wm G. of Greene then it would probably tell something about the other one of these men. William G. Cobb born circa 1826, on Greene Co. census in 1850 and in 1860 but gone by 1870. His tombstone lists date of death as 1892 but that is an error. The gravestone was placed fairly recently as it looks pretty new. Wm G.'s wife Gatsy was listed on 1880 census as a widow. She was probably widowed on the 1870 but I don't have that info in front of me right now. I wonder if Wm G. didn't die in the Civil War. There were more than one Wm G. Cobbs in the war but I have never figured out which one might have been him. That's about all for now. Till later, Tracy

I am trying to trace a William G. Cobb born 1820's who was on the 1860 Greene Co. census along with Kinchen. I wonder if they may have been brothers.

Obituary of Sarah Fields (nee Randolph) - Copied from Mewborn Church Books, Book 1, Pages 82-83. She was the daughter of Jo Randolph and Elizabeth, his wife, whose maiden name was Lane. I do not know the exact time of her birth, but the best information I have been able to get is about the date of 1820. When she was young, she joined the church at Bear Creek where she continued a few years and then took a letter from the said church and joined at Mewborn meeting House where she remained in full fellowship until the time of her death which took place Jan. 1875. A short time before her death she said, I want to go home to be with my blessed Master. I don't want to stay here always. She appeared to be willing to go when even it was the Blessed Lord's will to call her. She was married to Mr. Thomas Fields when very young by whom she had four daughters, one of which died when an infant. Her husband also died and left her. She suffered along with her three daughters and through the blessing of a kind providence raised them to be grown. One of them was married about four years before she died. The other two lived with her at the time of her death. She was afflicted a long time with a very bad cough and got to be very poor and weak. We think her disease was consumption. She left three daughters and three little grandchildren, one son-in-law and a number of friends and the church to mourn their loss, but we hope our loss is her eternal gain. Blessed are the dead that die. The Lord from henceforth, Yea, said the spirit that they may visit from their labors and their works do follow them. Collection of Ima Mewborn

Linda, am answering to the list because messed this up yesterday and trying to clean it up as I think out loud and type and clean up my database. Hi Martha, I don't have a son of Shadrack named Thomas. Would you mind sending me the information. ***Ima had a son Thomas listed in her notes but she did not say why she thought so but in her article in the Heritage Book she does not mention a son Thomas. Well, thought I had checked all the Thomas' in the database yesterday before I typed this obit up. Missed one, actually two, which means I wasted my time retyping. The only information she had for Thomas was bc1810 - 1820. The Thomas who married Sarah Reynolds was bc 1805 and according to the PRINTED 1850 Lenoir Census had the middle initial of H. One daughter, Elizabeth bc 1849. Sarah was bc 1820 which is consistent with her obit. THey also had a daughter Lucy Ann Fields who married George Mewborn Hardy. Lucy's obit confirms her parents. Don't know the names of the other two daughters but they should be on the Census, probably in Greene Co and I don't have the 1860 or 1870 Census. Now Jeremiah Fields had a son Thomas H. and I have him on the database with the middle initial of H. wife Sarah, and daughter Elizabeth. That has to be this Thomas - dates are right and proven by the Jeremiah Fields Bible. What I am going to do is eliminate Thomas as a son of Shadrack unless one pops up in the future and go back and straighten up the database to eliminate the duplication. Now if you are not confused think I am a little. Martha As you know my Thomas Fields, was born in the 1840s and married Louisa Hill. My Thomas was a grandson of Shadrack according to others research. I have not proven that fact, but have who proof as to who he married, when born, buried Maplewood Cemetery, Kinston, NC, and that his father was Richard Fields and Dovey Fields. I also have quite a few marriage certificates that he applied for in his family. Louisa Hill Fields died and was buried in TN in the late1800s. I think in Chattanooga where her daughter Nola Benton lived. This Thomas must have had another name and I have him listed that way probably. Thomas and Louisa have a granddaughter still living and she is 91 and her is pretty clear. She does not anything except what she was told since they died before she was born. I know he must have been born at Mosley Hall where all the others were born and later moved into Greene Co. I hope to get to begin researching again soon, but may be after first of the year. Since being sick since July I have not done anything. That is why I could not go to the PCFR Reunion I still had pneumonia. Thanks again for all your hard work. Linda Melvin
