Want to help?/ Cobb Here's some additional Cobb info: Packet #339, Document #3, Clerk of Courts Office, Pickens County, SC: On 4 March 1829, Lily and Samuel Whitmire made oath against Robert Cobb, of having gotten Delilah Whitmire, a single women, with a bastard child, which was born 8 April 1825. Cobb was ordered to pay $300 to Delilah. This Delilah Whitmire married John Corbin, Sr about the 1828/29 timeframe and they raised the child, Martha Jane(Cobb) as their own (Martha took on the Corbin name in future records). This is the apparently the reason that Martha Jane is not listed as an heir in John's will in 1853, ie not really his child. All other children of this marriage (2nd for John Sr) were listed in the will. Children (at least 9 - 7 daughters first and then 2 sons) of John's first marriage to an unknown woman were also not listed in the will but were adults with their own families by then.
