Michael Cobb (MCobb@dfwairport.com) emailed 26 Sept 2006: ". . . results from the COBB DNA PROJECT have proven conclusively that the man known as Henry Cobb "the Elder" of Barnstable, MA was NOT the son of the Henry Cobb who married Pleasance Reddwood. All previous research and published works regarding the ancestry of Henry of Barnstable are now proven wrong. Henry was not from the lineage of the man known as John Cobb of Kent. His parentage and ancestry are unknown. Henry of Barnstable is now the earliest known ancestor of his entire line." See also http://www.clanlindsay.com/cobb_surname_dna_project.htm.
Virginia Horler offers: "Most men of Kent were farmers in an area famous for hops, fruit and grain. Even in this age, importance was attached to the idea of status. The term "Yeoman" was commonly used in legal and other documents to denote status above "Husbandman" (smaller, less prosperous farmer) and below that of "Gentleman" (upper middle class). Yeomen, from whom Henry Cobb was descended, were reasonably well educated. Some Yeomen sons attended the universities; some became clergymen. A review of the pedigrees of the Cobbs of Kent and a personal inspection of the Manor houses at Reculver and Eastleigh Court suggest 16th century gentry but 17th century Yeomen. The major inheritance, by custom, probably went to Benjamin Cobb, the first-born son. The Cobb home at Reculver was about 15 miles from Egerton, Ken where Lothrop was in residence from 1611-1623. Henry Cobb was himself censured by the establishment. He had become Lord of the Manor of Bishopstone, Reculver Kent, when his father Richard died in 1582. In the record of the Visitations of the Archdeacon of Canterbury in 1599 is found the following: "We present these persons whose names are hereunder written for they refuse to pay unto a access made by divers of our parish for the reparation of our said church:....Henry Cobb 3 shillings, 10 pence (owed). He married (2) Mary Avery, married 1612 in Reculver, Kent, England, b. 1580 in Reculver, Kent, England, d. 1642 in Reculver, Kent, England."
[25759] John is reported by the IGI file to be son of Henry de Cobham (1190-1230, son of Serlo de Cobham of Stereborough, Surrey). Also see http://www.stirnet.com/HTML/genie/british/cc4aq/cobham01.htm.
