RACHEL SELBY (m) ROBERT COCKBURN 1741 PA
Posted by: Peggy Wingfield (ID *****0597) Date: April 04, 2007 at 12:21:43

Hello Shelby(s),

Can anyone add info to the following?
Church: Part I First Presbyterian Church Marriages
1702-1745 Philadelphia, PA
old style monthy, day, year
Page 14: 4,8,1741 ROBERT COCKBURN and RACHEL SELBY

THEN: Pennsylvania Archives, Second Series, Vol II
Page 60: Dec. 1747 COBURN RACHEL amd John McFarland.
(COBURN is the phonetic spelling of COCKBURN)

THEN: From this site and other sources (online and books),
I find that the widow of Capt John McFarland married about 1756 Capt Phillip Pindall.

I believe that my Rachel "Selby" and husband Robert Cockburn had at least one son, also Robert Cockburn for whom there are several deeds and other records in Frederick Co VA and later in Berkeley Co VA. There are records of "Capt. McFarland" in Berkeley Co VA as well as for Capt Phillip Pindall. Rachel Pindall is buried in Flagg Meadow, near Morgantown WV.

I will really appreciate your views, opinions, info about Rachel. She may be the sister of Evan Shelby, Jr who (m) Catherine Morgan or Evan Jr's cousin and daughter of Rees Shelby. OR not a SHELBY at all but truly a SELBY.
Peggy
