CHILDREN inlcuded:
John Cobbs of Kent is the earliest documented progenitor of our Cobb family, meaning that he was the first to be recorded in the College of Heralds. He was the son of one Henry Cobby, who in 1258 acquired land in the parish of Hope St. Mary, New Romney, Kent. It is not known exactly when John was born, but by 1324, he had acquired possession of the manor of one Richard de Organer. This manor became known as Cobbs Court and remained in the family for many many years. It is now located near the village of Bonnington. John was still living there in the 17th year of the reign of King Edward II. It is believed he died there about 1325. During his life he was awarded the title of Esquire, for having performed some unidentified service to the Crown. This title continued to be oorn by several generations of his direct male descendants. The name of his wife is lost, but it is know that he had a least one son, Richard.
