[17]
He was a veteran of the War of 1812; and in 1861, also raised a unit of volunteers from McMinn County for the Confederate Army, which became Company H, 19th Tennessee Infantry Regiment. Due to his advanced age, he was assigned to recruiting duty, and later discharged on 15 Oct 1862.
From "Chancery Court Records of McMinn County, Tennessee", compiled by Reba Bayless Boyer in 1980: (pages 24-25, entry number 46) "Witness Williams Mayfield deposes that before 1860-1861, David A. Cobb had a large landed, slave, and personal estate but was involved with a prodigal son, and after 1860 he made a deed of trust of his lands in a hurried way whilst in prison; that his land sold while he was in the West and he realized nothing from the sale; that Cobb "the old man" left this country in 1865 or 1866 worth little if anything, everything he had being destroyed by the war and damage suits against him for thousands; that he carried away with him about $1000 or $1500 and not a bed to lay his frame on, his household goods being plundered and destroyed in the war and after its close."
[24] In 1830, there were five Post Offices in McMinn County. David was the Post Master at Cobbs. This office was open from 1828-1843.
[18] He was the son of Joseph Cobbs Sr and wife Mary.
[19] At the time of his death, he was living with his brother in law, Williams T. Mayfield. His grave has never been located. Records show that the Mayfield family was living in that part of Johnson County that borders Tarrant County; and that several Mayfield family members are buried in the Mansfield City Cemetery of Tarrant, including the wife of Williams Mayfield who died just the previous year. It is very possible David lies there in an unmarked grave.
[20] On 07 Feb 1824, David purchased the Northwest Quarter of Section 26, Township 6, Range first West of the meridian, in McMinn County, Tennessee, beginning on the Northwest corner of said quarter. Section 26 is divided by Conasauga Creek just below the entrance of Cane Creek. This land joined that of David's two brothers John and Joseph Jr and their father. The family group combined owned sections 14, 15, 23, and 26 of Township 6, Range 1. Each member owned 160 acres, for a total of 640 square acres, or one section. The dates of these transactions begin in 1820 and extend through 1829. More land was acquired with the passage of time as evidenced by Tax Records.
[21] At that time, he was listed as the widowed head of a household composed of himself and a mulatto woman Judy Cobb and her three children; John born 1853, Thomas born 1855, and Caroline born 1857 (all from Tennessee). It is presumed that Judy and her children were former slaves of Cobbs that had taken his name and entered his employ after the War Between the States.
[22] This enumeration showed that he had a real estate appraisement of $4000. He also declared that he was born in Tennessee. Further there was an unidentified additional female listed in his household; one Hannah Grayson, age 60, born in South Carolina.
[23] On this enumeration, he was listed as having $20,000 in Real Estate and $10,000 in Personal Estate wealth. His two sons Carter and Jesse Cobb were living next door.
[920] Descendants of this union intermarried two other Cobb families in Fannin County, Texas.
