Katherine E. Cobb (1851-1879) AL and LA
My great-grandmother, Katherine E. Cobb, was born about 1851 in Coushatta, Red River, LA and died April 1879 in Coushatta, Red River, LA. Her husband, Samuel Taylor Holloway, was born October 12, 1849 in Monroe, AL. He died October 02, 1878 in LA.
Their children were Samuel Taylor Holloway, born March 13, 1876, and Clara Emmaline Holloway, born October 19, 1878. Both were born in LA. When their parents died in 1878 and 1879, the two small children were taken to AL to be raised by Holloway family members.
Katherine and Samuel may have married in AL and traveled to LA to live where she was born. They died about 6 months apart, perhaps from yellow fever.
I've seen records that a John Cobb and his family left AL and went to LA in about 1850. His second wife, Elizabeth McCaskill, is thought to have died in childbirth in AL. However, there no records of a child.
If anyone has any information about Katherine E. Cobb and her family, I would very much appreciate hearing from you.
