Thanks, Bob!
This answers one question. Apparently the 36 days that my ancestor William Cobb served on the expedition under Jesse Cobb occurred in early 1776, since it was after the referenced battle. Previous documentation has always said he enlisted in 1775. Perhaps he did enlist at the very end of 1775, but was not called to action, or unable to join the company until said expedition? Does this sound plausible? Would the William Cobb of Rocky Mount have left there to go on this expedition? Any "brainstorming" appreciated.
