Como is in Hopkins Co, TX, and since you know they were there, I'm assuming you saw them on the 1870 and 1880 censuses in Hopkins Co, TX.
Could this be your Thomas?1860 census Pontotoc Co, MS:
McWhorter, B.F., 33, b AL - land 5,000/personal 7,000
" Mary J., 27, b AL
" Robt. A., 6, b MS
" Sarah E., 4, b MS
" Benj. F., 1, b MS
Stephens, John, 22, student, b AL
Cobb, Thos., 21, farm laborer, b AL
If so this might be his family 1850 census Pontotoc Co, MS:
Cobb, Josiah, 47, b VA
" Margaret, 40, b KY
" Sarah, 18, b AL
" John, 15, b AL
" Josiah, 14, b AL
" Thomas, 12, b AL
" Lucretia, 10, b AL
" Eliza, 8, b MS
" Louis, 6, b MS
" Zachary, 1, b MS
" William, 1, b MS[twins?]
I would check out land and probate records in Pontotoc Co, MS, see what happend to land that belonged to Josiah?Who were his heirs, was your Thomas one of them?
