Hi Vicki: The name of the book is "Samuel Cobean & Sons". It is not available publicly, or through the Library system. I could not locate 1 anywhere, via the ILL Program. It was written by a Cobean descendent in 1984. It is a fantastic summary of the Cobean family who came to Pennsylvania, ca 1760, and settled in the Marsh Creek area. Samuel's son Alexander, was the 1st President of the Gettysburg Bank, and a grand son had the farm, where the current Civil War Museum is located. My overall research on this family started in Ontario, where my grand mother was a Cobean. Research indicated this family came to Ontario, in 1823, from Tyrone, when they received a series of original land grants. Further research indicated they came from Skey Townland, near Augnacloy, in Tyrone. My research in Tyrone uncovered a Lease in 1748 to 4 (or possibly 5) Cobean brothers. Further research indicated that the Cobeans went to Tyrone from County Antrim, in Tyrone, ca 1710, and prior to that, from County Galway in Scotland, ca 1640, when they came to Antrim during the "Plantation of Ulster". I located 3 of the 4 Cobean families in Tyrone, and their descendents, who emigrated to Ontario & Australia. However, there was 1 family, that of John Cobean, that I could not locate in Tyrone. I now believe the reason was that John Cobean and his family, had emigrated to Pennsylvania, ca 1760, with his entire family, and thus no records are available of this family in Tyrone. Samuel Cobean, mentioned above, was the oldest of 4 known sons, who came to the USA. The others were John, William and Thomas. Mention of John and William has been located in some records in Pennsylvania. Thomas, and I believe the father John, has been located in North Carolina and then South Carolina. It is believed Thomas and his father John, left Pennsylvania, ca 1770, and headed south for new farm land. ----- Original Message ----- From: <vlhartman@mindspring.com> To: <paadams@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, February 12, 2009 11:14 AM Subject: Re: [PAADAMS] Original Cobean Family of Adams Cp Pa > Jim, > > What is the name of the book that you reference.
