I, JOSEPH COBB came to Virginia in the Treasurer, 1613. He was missed in the census, 1623/4 but in the muster 1624/5, was lsited at Elizabeth City with his wife Elizabeth, who had come in the Bone Bess, 1623. Both are given as aged 25 years, but Joseph, as will be shown, was older.
It seems probably that Elizabeth was Elizabeth Flinton, who is listed in 1623/4 at Elizabeth City with Pharoah (or Farrar) Flinton, who was probably her bother and was a neighbor of Cobb in Elizabeth City and later in Isle of Wight County, and who, with him served as an appraiser of the estate of Thomas Clarke, 1625. Flinton and his wife Joane or Jane had come in the Elizabeth in 1612 and were aged 35 and 38 respectively in the muster, 1624/5.
Although Joseph Cobb was not granted land under the status of Ancient Planter in any record now surviving, his date of arrival in the colony would entitle him to be so claimed. ON 4 Aug 1637 he patented 400 acres in Isle of Wight County on a “branch of Warwicksquike River, now called New Town haven, “naming as headrights himself, his wife Elizabeth, his sons Joseph and Benjamin and four servants. In an Act of Assembly, 6 Jan 1638/9, he was named as a tobacco viewer from “the Indian feild to the Levie neck” in Isle of Wight. His will made 1 March 1653/4, “aged sixty years,” left to his wife Elizabeth 300 acres “commonly called Goose Hill land,” cattle and hogs to his sons Benjamin and Pharoah Cobb, and to his daughter Elizabeth Cobb, cattle. The widow was living 7 March 1656/7 when she and her son Pharoah sold to Samuel Harwell land next to their plantation, she was dead by 10 April 1671 when this sale was confirmed by her son Pharoah and her granddaughter Elizabeth.
