WILLIAM & DAVID COBB, 1700'S, NO. CAR.
For those of you that are researching William Cobb, father of David Cobb that migrated to Mad. Co., Ala., b. 1730 in Craven Co., m. Sarah Stancil Dobbs Co. in 1755, served in Minute Men in Dobbs Co. d. 1797 in Wayne Co., I discovered the following: Craven County formed in 1705; Johnston Co. formed from Craven in 1746; Dobbs Co. formed from Johnston in 1758; and Wayne Co. formed from Dobbs in 1779. I had not realized this before, and was just looking in Craven Co. for William. I've located several items on him by looking in these other counties. If we continue to search, we might find his parents after all!
