This page updated 16 May 2013
The records below focus on entries involving the following persons. I have endeavored to find all entries involving them from the establishment of Caldwell Co. on 1 May 1809 until 1848. Because the records are not indexed, and are handwritten and difficult to read, some were no doubt missed.
Gideon Dyer Cobb | Moved to Eddyville from Fair Haven, Vermont as part of the party organized by Matthew Lyon about 1800, with his wife Modena Chittenden Clark, and their eldest son, Caleb. |
Caleb C Cobb | Eldest son of Gideon Dyer Cobb and Modena Chittenden Clark |
Robert L Cobb | Second son of Gideon Dyer Cobb and Modena Chittenden Clark |
Joshua Cobb | Third son of Gideon Dyer Cobb and Modena Chittenden Clark |
John Cobb | The younger brother of Gideon Dyer Cobb |
Elijah G. Galusha | Cousin to Modena (Clark) Cobb; son of her aunt Beulah Chittenden by her first marriage. |
James Clark | Born in Virginia, married Mary Willard Cobb, daughter of Gideon Dyer Cobb and Modena Chittenden Clark in 1829. |
John Hallick | Married Hannah Chittenden Cobb, daughter of Gideon Dyer Cobb and Modena Chittenden Clark in 1830. |
Note: In this section, I have not included the records for Matthew Lyon's sons Chittenden and Matthew Jr. except for their joint holdings with the Cobbs. I have copies of the pages with their other entries, but have not extracted them here. Please inquire if you are interested in them. |
Because of the volumne of data, the Caldwell County page are broken into the following sections:
1809-1813 | 1814-1818 | 1819-1823 | 1824-1828 | 1829-1835 this page |
1836-1841 | 1842-1845 | 1845-1848 |
For background information on these tax lists see the first page of Caldwell County tax lists.
