Notes for Rebecca LNU (Cobb): 1810 U.S. Census for Abbeville Dist., SC, image 39: Allen Gentry: 1 m. under 10, 1m. 26-44; 2 f. 16-25. Rebecca Gentry: 1 m. under 10, 1 m. 10-15, 1 m. 16-25; 1 f. 16-25, 1 f. 45-up. "On a website about the Methodist Church beginnings in MS, in the very early SW MS Territory, is a story about Simon Gentry. Simon was the second husband of Rebecca Cobb, the mother of Alexander and Jeremiah Cobb of Edgefield Co., SC. It states that Simon was the brother of Elijah Gentry who became a good minister of the church. It also states that Simon, during the 1813 to 1816 period tried out to be a minister in the church and was accepted on trial, but only lasted less than a year and was reputed to be demented. Some of the quotes are 'The Conference completed in two days, and agreed to meet at Pine Ridge, six or seven miles north of Natchez, on Nov. 16, 1815. The appointments were: Mississippi District: Samual Sellers, P. E. Wilkinson, Wm. Winans, Peter James, Roswell Valentine. Amite: J.I.E. Byrd, Jonathon Kemp. Tombigbee: John S. Ford, Thomas Owens. Pearl River: Elijah Gentry. Rapides: Elisha Lott. Attakapas: Richmond Nolley. Washita: Thomas Griffin.' The names of several ministers that were on the rolls the last year had disappeared. Lewis Hobbs had died, John Phipps had returned to Tennessee, John Shrock had located, Josiah B. Daughtry and Simon Gentry had been discontinued after one year, for what reason the author knows not. Daughtry's name appears in the Tennessee Conference the next year and he did many more years of service. Gentry was reputed to be somewhat demented. Of the three admitted on trial at the late Conference, Wiley Ledbetter and Elijah Gentry (the brother of Simon) turned out to be preachers of considerable talent and notoriety."

Notes for Jeremiah Cobb: Brother to Alexander, Jeremiah Cobb was the only known sibling to remain in the Edgefield District of South Carolina through both the move to Abbeville, South Carolina and then to the Alabama Territory. Family lore does say that not much is known regarding his death between 1840 and 1850, but he may have finally been on the move west when he died. Jeremiah is thought to have been born about 1774, but he was not old enough to be on the census records that would have helped pinpoint his age, the age being approximated from the 1800 census. He married Elizabeth Corley, daughter of Catlett Corley and Susannah Jennings (researchers, please note there were two Catlett Corleys about the same age, both living in the same area). They married in Edgefield, South Carolina before 1800 when they appeared on the census record with one young son, living not far from Elizabeth's parents. By 1810 they lived next door to the Corleys. There are not many records available for this Jeremiah Cobb (please note that there were quite a few different Jeremiah Cobbs alive in this time period). He and Elizabeth were reported to have the following children, most of which migrated to Mississippi by 1850, along with their mother, Elizabeth. There was obviously a few years spent in Alabama on the way, as census records show some of Jeremiah's grandchildren were born there. William b. abt. 1800 as he showed up on that census record Martha Jane abt. 1803 Rebecca abt. 1805 Amanda abt. 1807 Sara abt. 1808 died before 1810 (could be correct, only 3 dau. listed in 1810 census) Elizabeth abt. 1811* Mary abt. 1811* Alexander 1810 1820 Isaac Washington 1812 James A. 1816 1820 N. A. (a female) abt. 1820 (all that is known as her named appeared on a marriage certificate on July 16, 1861 to a F. G. Freeman and I think this is not a child of Jeremiah's) Daniel Davenport b. 1826 One researcher added a John S. to the list, but he may be the son of a George Cobb; and another said they were not sure about the James A., he might have been confused with James Andrew, the son of Daniel D. Of that list, I have seen more on William, Isaac Washington, Daniel Davenport, Rebecca, Amanda, Elizabeth and Mary, and gotten some better dates.

Notes for Martha Campbell: Aaron, Sr.s' daughter, Martha married James Glasscock. In the 1830 census micro film Bibb Co. Alabama, James Glasscock 0021001 0100001, page 283. This shows both to be in their 40's. In the 1850 Marion County, AL census she was 66 and in the 1860 Marion County, AL census she was 73. (I am assuming, the Martha living with Jas. H. Glasscock in the Marion County, AL census was his mother, Martha Campbell Glasscock.) Which means she would have been born in the 1780s & probably between 1784-1787. Therefore Aaron, Sr. must have been born circa 1768-1771 assuming Martha was his first born, however I have Robert David Campbell being eldest b' circa 1780, this would push Aaron Sr.s' birth to 1766 or before. |

Notes for Charity Yoholo: There were 3 Campbells in Bibb County by 1825, Aaron, David (and Charity) and Elijah (and Lizzie Kemp). When David died in 1926, their children, Acy, Lacy and John were left with Charity. Probably Calvin Glasscock, the husband of Catherine Campbell (David's sister), accepted responsibility as the male guardian for David and Charity's children. 1830 Bibb Co., AL Census: Charity is listed with 1 male and 1 female under 5, 2 males 5-10; 1 male 10-15; 1 female 30-40. 1840 Bibb Co., AL Census lists Charity; Charity Yoholo was half sister to Chief Menawa. Menawa was the Warrior Chief of the Upper Creek Nation and led the battle of Horseshoe Bend. Azalia Thomas of Sandy, Utah, stated in a letter to Terri Jean Adams, 114 S. Main St., Weaverville, NC 28787, dated 10-4-1995 that she corresponded with U.V. Waldrop, who was born in the general area of AL where the Campbells lived. " It seems that David Campbell married a Creek Indian girl whose 'white' name was Charity. U.V. says that she was the sister of a Creek War Chief and that her last name was Yoholo. When David died, leaving Charity with several children, she began taking in boarders. Some two years after David's death, Charity gave birth to a little girl. Indian customs allowed a widow to take lovers. The Campbells, being good, upright Baptists, were naturally upset, and Catherine and her husband Calvin Glasscock, went to court and got custody of all children except for the baby girl. Aaron Campbell and Patsy reared two of the children, twin boys I believe. " U.V. is a descendant of that baby girl, Susan. He says his grandfather told him this story and told him the name of the boarder who was the father. But, U.V. was young at the time and now that he'd really like to know, he can not remember the name his grandfather gave him. On page 136 of Ulysses Abrams book (Early History of Bibb County Alabama) I found the following: "James REID vs. Opothle-Yahola and Jim Boy (37) Trespass, assault, and Battery - This action was tried at the term of the Circuit Court, which has just terminated. Judgment by default had been rendered at a previous term. From the evidence, it appeared that in June, 1828, the plaintiff accompanied a deputy of the sheriff of Shelby County into the Creek Nation for the purpose of aiding in the execution of process; that he was seized by the Indians, bound with cords, stripped of his clothing save a light shirt and pantaloons, carried first to Tuckabatchee and there, by one of the defendants, bound with additional cords and ordered on to Thomas Trippett's who was the sub-agent; and from there, taken to Line Creek by a party of Indians under command of the other defendants, his back made bare, tied fast to a tree, and beat with hickory sticks an inch thick and five feet in length, forty stripes. The court instructed the jury that the only question for them was to assess damage. They retired, and in a few minutes, returned with a verdict of $4500.00. The case was argued by Busbee and Hinton for the plaintiff; and Gordon, Goldthwaite and Campbell for the defendants." (The Alabama Intellingencer, Tuscaloosa, April, 1830)." The person, James REID, mentioned in this case was a neighbor of Alexander COBB who my Elijah C CAMPBELL (son of Charity and David) was the overseer for . . . I am interested in researching this further, but do not have any idea where to start . . . also am interested in the CAMPBELL who defended them. (Melissa Hogan-2003) |
