I believe that Stephen Cobb's death date may not be correct. If he died in 1756 he was about 40 years old when he died which is a bit unusual. However, I cannot find any reliable source records to correct it.
I have an unsourced family tree file that shows that he had three additional children born after 1756. I'm going to enter the three additional children and I will continue working on finding a reliable source for Stephen's death. For right now, I going to set his death date to "After 1767" which is when the last child was born as an estimate.
Thank you Charles, sourced additions are welcome. The original file was imported, I believe, without source information that can be verified. If the additional children are found in the vital records, please add them, otherwise a reliable source is needed.
Hi Charles. Would any of those three additional children be Nathan Cobb (est 1763-1845)? I'm trying to ultimately make a connection to Nathan Bryant Cobb (1827-1906), Nathan Cobb's grandson.
