Thomas 4 Cobbs (Ambrose, 3 Robert, 2 Ambrose 1 ) married 
Mary Shields, named in the will of her father James Shields, of 
Williamsburg. He made his will in 1736 and names 18 Ambrose, 
19 Thomas, 20 Matthew. This will was proved in York County, 
September 17, 1750, and was witnessed by Ben Eggleston, Ed- 
mund Cobbs and James Shields. 

In Chesterfield County, in 1752, 11 10 acres were divided 
among Ambrose, Thomas and Matthew Cobbs. 

In the same county, in 1783, Ambrose Cobbs made his will 
and names his 4 sisters — Elizabeth Booth, Hannah Marshall, 
Mary Perkinson and Phebe Cobbs. 

4 Ambrose 2 Cobbs (Ambrose 1 ) appear to have died about 
1688 and had issue: 21 William, 22 Robert.
