  1. Muff, Janet, Extracts from early Vermont probate records, citing Part 1, pg 83, which cites 10:387-90, shows his name mentioned in his father's will.
  2. Cobb, Philip L, History of the Cobb Family, pp 154, 184.
  3. Cobb, Philip L, History of the Cobb Family, pp 154, 184, shows date, with year as 1784, town, as Orwell, and state.
  4. Cleveland, Edmund Janes; Cleveland, Horace Gillette, Genealogy of the Cleveland and Cleaveland Families, vol 1 pg 45, shows year, as 1783, and town, as Pawlet.
  5. Despite Philip Cobb's statement that the child was born in Orwell, his father was a constable in Pawlet by 1780, and appeared there in the 1790 and 1800 census. He did not sell his farm in Pawlet until 1805, appearing in the Orwell census in 1810, so it seems most likely that all his children were born in Pawlet.
  6. Cobb, Philip L, History of the Cobb Family, pg 184, shows date.
  7. Cleveland, Edmund Janes; Cleveland, Horace Gillette, Genealogy of the Cleveland and Cleaveland Families, vol 1 pg 45, shows year.
  8. Cobb, Philip L, History of the Cobb Family, pg 184, shows date, with year as 1808.
  9. Cleveland, Edmund Janes; Cleveland, Horace Gillette, Genealogy of the Cleveland and Cleaveland Families, vol 1 pg 45, shows year, as 1811, town, county, as Livingston, and state. However, Livingston was not formed until 1823; before that the area known as Moscow, now in Leicester, was in Genesee Co. There are no Cobbs listed in Genesee Co. in the 1810 census, suggesting Philip Cobb's death date of 1808 is more likely correct.
  10. Muff, Janet, Extracts from early Vermont probate records, citing Part 1, pg 83, which cites 10:387-90, shows him as deceased in his father's will written 10 Sep 1815.
  11. Cobb, Philip L, History of the Cobb Family, pg 184, shows town.
