Records of the Cobbs of
Vermont
and Their Associates

The sections listed below contain extracts for the original town records, in all cases focusing on the family and associates of Gideon Cobb (1718-1798) and his sons John, Elkanah, Ebenezer, and Joshua, and of Jonathan Willard, principal grantee of the town of Pawlet and father-in-law of Elkanah Cobb. I have attempted to find every record of each type searched for this family, though no doubt some were missed.

Selected records of some associates are included, and many other individuals are mentioned when they were part of transactions involving the Cobbs, but the records for those individuals are by no means complete.

Many names are spelled as best I could discern them from the original records, and in many cases are no doubt in error. I have scanned images of all of the records listed, and would be happy to consult them, or furnish copies, to clarify any questions.
