I started tracking him and he apparently moved to Michigan around 1834, with a wife Caroline, they eventually had 9 children, the oldest two born in NY. Both Septimus and Caroline were listed on Census as being born in NY., with Septimus stating his parents were born in Ma. What got my attention was his living in Phelps. Phelps was an early "Taunton Cobb" settlement as opposed to the "Barnstable Cobbs" George Cobb, 1754-1837 settled there.(George4,William3,Morgan2,Augustine1). George had at least two known sons living in Phelps, Abner and George H.b. 1785,Ma.. George H. mar. Lydia Burnett, Dau. of Archibald Burnett brother of Priscilla Burnett wife of David Cobb, George4's brother. It seems quite possible that Septimus is a son of either Abner or George H.. While digging for verifica! tion, I came upon some information that you had done some work on Septimus Cobb. If so did you find out anything you could share? On a side note Priscilla Burnett's oldest sister, Sarah married a Thomas Love, moved to Chautauqua Co.,NY, where Thomas died 1815, in the Twn of Hanover.
