Notes

He was a legatee under the Will of his brother, Edmund Cobbs in 1690-91, and was a beneficiary of the Will of his uncle Thomas Cobbs in 1702. In 1693-94, he was a constable of the upper preceincts of Bruton Parish; he also lived on Queen's Creek in that precinct. In 1696, he was one of the securities for "Mr. Abraham Vinckler, guardian to William Jones, orphan of Rowland Jones, clerk." In 1696, Matthew Jeffreys deeded as a gift to "Robert Cobbs of Bruton Parish, York County, planter,..50 acres...at the head of Queen's Creek, beginning at ye old mill and so running up a little swamp...ending at a field now of late known as Silvester Tutnam's field." Robert's brother Otho was a witness to this deed. This document was proved in York County on 18 September 1727, indicating he had died in the interim period since signing the instrument less than two months earlier. In it Robert ordered his estate to be divided among "all my children". He appointed his sons Vinckler and John Cobbs co-executors.
