     Linah Mims Cobb was born about 1838 in Caldwell Co., Kentucky.7,8,9
     He appeared on the 1850 Federal Census of 1st District, Trigg Co., Kentucky, in the household of Marcus Marcellus Tyler and Sarah Jane Mims, his mother's sister and her husband, enumerated 2 Aug 1850.10 He also appeared on the 1850 Federal Census of District No. 1, Caldwell Co., Kentucky, in the household of his parents, Robert Livingston Cobb and Cornelia Rebecca Mims, enumerated 13 Sep 1850. Since his parents' household was enumerated over a month after his aunt and uncle's, perhaps he had moved back home. Or it may be that both households thought of him as living there.11,12
     He appeared on the 1860 Federal Census of Eddyville, Lyon Co., Kentucky, in the household of his parents.13,14 He appeared on the 1870 Federal Census of Paducah, McCracken Co., Kentucky, in the household of his parents.15 He appeared on the 1880 Federal Census of Paducah, McCracken Co., Kentucky, at Market St., enumerated 7 Jun 1880, where he appears to have been rooming with William G. Bullets, a lawyer.16
     Linah was a clerk in 1860, but was reported as a retired merchant in 1870, and a rail road clerk in 1880.17,18,19
