This event was recorded in Marriage Book C, pp 47, Fannin County, Texas. In Sep 1877, Cobb and Eliza petitioned the Fannin County court to have Cobb named as the legal guardian of Conyer Fuller, Eliza's daughter by her marriage to Joel Conyers Fuller. The motion was granted. Following Eliza's death not quite two years later, some discord arose among Fuller relatives concerning Cobb's continued guardianship of the child. The matter was resolved in court with Cobb being sustained as the child's guardian. He continued making regular reports to the court concerning the child's welfare all the way up to Jan 1893, when he reported she had come of age.
