Family History from England to Georgia
I am trying to link the family tree from Jonesboro Tennessee to Nashville Tennessee and to my immediate family in Georgia.
My father is John Vernon Cobb of Nashville, born in Ravenscroft, Tn.My grandfather was Donald McDonald Cobb from the Cumberland Plateau area around Monterey.My Great Granfather was William Pharoah Cobb, in the Knoxville area near Strawberry Plains, Tn.Does anyone have any links? Brothers of Donnie B.(McDonald) Cobb included James and Ben, sisters were Martha, Fannie, Gertie, Ida and Annie.Samuel J. Cobb was the brother of William P. (Pharoah) Cobb.His sone was Claude Cobb who moved while young to West Virginia, later married Florence Cobb, my father's sister, lived in Nashville, Tn.It seems that Joseph Cobb came over from England in 1612 and settled in Virginia, with the family migrating to North Carolina, then East Tennessee where the William Cobb house served as the capitol of the proposed State of Franklin and later Tennessee when formed from the Western part of North Carolina.
Anyone that can add to this history, please e-mail me.I would like to trace the family in England and Scotland also.The Cobb Clan had its colors in Scotland.Thanks.
