A full bibliography
and index completes the book; hardcover, Available
from Susan E. Roser, This book covers four generations, that of Henry, his children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren, representing five hundred and eleven New Englanders (and spouses), with the goal being to sort out inaccuracies and document these early generations. Providing full primary sources wherever possible was the goal for this book and the reader will not be disappointed. Each event is numbered to correspond with the endnote so that there is no guessing as to which source goes with which event. Included are full transcripts of 37 wills (from the first three generations), 170 epitaphs, 37 gravestone pictures and countless marriages with Mayflower descendants, thus providing information on Mayflower lines. Biographical data is given for those in the first three generations and occasionally in the fourth generation. In addition to the many, many marriages with Mayflower descendants, three of Henry's children married into the Howland family. Jonathan2 Cobb married Hope Chipman3 (Hope2 Howland, John1); Sarah2 Cobb married Samuel Chipman3 (Hope2 Howland, John1) and Henry2 Cobb married Lois Hallet4 (Elizabeth Gorham3, Desire2 Howland, John1). Family lines [other than Cobb] covered include the surnames of Bearse, Bennet, Chipman, Cole, Coleman, Crocker, Davis, Dunham, Gallup, Hinckley, Jackson, Knowles, Lewis, Lothrop, Lumbart, Paine, Parker, Pease, Scudder, Sparrow, Stanton, Taylor and Williamson. A cemetery section is included with pictures of 38 cemeteries, dates visited and locations for those who wish to visit themselves. |
