NOTE: Ambrose COBBS "the Emigrant", was the third son named in his father's Will to share gavelkind from his estate.
In 1633, Ambrose and Ann sold their lands in England, possibly as the preliminary preparation for their immigration to the Virginia Colony.It is believed they made the voyage in 1635, most likely landing at Jamestown. Their party consisted of Ambrose and Ann; children Ambrose, Robert, and Margaret; and Richard Barker, Hugh Barker, and Thomas Harding. It is not known positively, but probably safe to assume, that the latter three men had indentured themselves to Ambrose, in order to gain free passage to the New World. It is known that under the Land Grant laws of the day, Ambrose as a "Headright"was entitled to 50 acres of land for each person for whom he had paid the transportation charges to Virginia. Ambrose did not exercise his headright for a period of several years after his arrival in Virginia. It is also known that some persons did not file their headrights until after they had occupied theirland for sometime, and it is possible this was the case with Ambrose.
On July 25, 1639, Ambrose patented 350 acres on the Appomattox River, near its confluence with Swift's Creek,
about nine miles from presentPetersburg, about fifty miles up river from Jamestown, and adjacent t oproperties
owned by Abraham Wood and John Baugh. By the time of the American Revolutio, a great mansion plantation was standing on the land Ambrose Cobbs had claimed as his Headright in 1639. A picture of it now hangs in the Library of the University of Virginia; and is duplicated in"The Cobbs of Tennessee". Also, even during his lifetime, the entire locale had become known as 'Cobbs' or 'Cobbs Hall', a name that was used to identify the area until well after the Civil War. After Ambrose died in early 1656, his son Robert, acting as executorof the estate, sold the property to one Michael Masters, who then sold it to John and Thomas Burton, in that same year. In 1704, a son of Thomas Burton
sold "Cobbs" to John Bolling. Bolling was the son of Colonel Robert Bolling and his wife Jane Rolfe, daughter
of Thomas Rolfe and granddaughter of Pocahontas. During the Revolution, the property was raided by the British
and the crops burned, but the mansion was left untouched. However, during the Civil War, the entir eproperty was
over-run and burned by Federal trooops, in 1864. The land settled by Ambrose and Ann Cobbs is now "Point of RocksPark", belonging to the City of Petersburg. A historical markeridentifies the park as being the original location of the first Cobbs family home in America. Ambrose and Ann were most likely buried inthe small cemetery that is located at the extreme northeast corner ofthe tract. In 1864, invading Union troops destroyed all theheadstones, except that of Wyndham Robertson, one-time colonial governor of Virginia, and the only great grandson of Pocahontas. The cemetery is not accessible directly from the park.
NOTE: ANN WHITE: At the time of Ann White's marriage, her parents were both deceased and she was living in Willesborough, under the
governmentof Thomas Cobbs, the brother of her groom Ambrose. Thomas had married her sister Susan White in 1619.
