BEF 1598 - 1664
Personal Information
- BIRTH: BEF 1598
- DEATH: 1664
Notes
The eldest son and heir to the Aldington property, James, who is referred to under the title Aldington Cobbs, went to Bury St. Edmonds and died there in 1664. He had married the daughter of Sir Edmond Bury and left no sons to succeed him. Hasted, in his History of Kent, states that James, or his executors, sold his property at Aldington and Hodeford to Thomas Godfrey. These properties which were acquired by the Aldington Cobbs in early times had not been inherited from the Newchurch Cobbs and the Reculver branch had therefore no claim to them. However, it seems that some of the lands owned by the Aldington family near New Romney, which had come originally from the Newchurch Cobbs (notably Goddy Hall and Land and Hope All Saints) fell to Robert Cobb of Reculver either by inheritance under Gravelkind custom, or by purchase on the death of James. It is not explained, however, why these lands did not go to either of James' brothers, Thomas or William.
His arms, quartered, with the Bonnington and Ermyners, are given in the 1664 Visitation of Suffolk. This branch failed on the male line and he left three daughters, Margaret, Dorothy and Winifred. He was named as an Executor of his father's Will, indicating he was by then at least 21 years of age by 1619.
