Mary (Cobb) Haskins (1689 - 1768)

Removing the uncertainty regarding the parents of Mary Cobb-491: John Cobb-515 and Jane Godfrey-27 are confirmed as Mary's parents in the genealogy of the Richard Godfrey of Taunton on pages 194 and 195 at this reference (link below). The pedigree of John Cobb-515 and Jane Godfrey-27 Cobb are explained with good references. On page 195, after John Cobb has died, on 3 January 1726/27 Jane Cobb gifts a deed of land. Among her other children, she mentions "daughter Mary Hoskins and son in law William Hoskins." Helen Schatvet Ullmann, the compiler of this genealogy explains, Since Mary "was not named in John Cobb's will, she must have been born after it was made, or perhaps posthumously."
