I can only go by what I find in family trees of people reserching their Ancestors. He is the son of William and Anne Williams Cobb. Husband of Lydia and Tamer.

He was in the Revolutionary War and received a pension, per records. Commencement of pension: Jan 8,1819, put on rolls May 20, 1822.

Stone says he was 70 years of age. Doesn't match. Maybe family didn't know his age? He really would of been 83, per birthdate given in over 10 trees and research for him getting Pension for serving in War. I am betting they did not know his true age. If he was a strong hard working man back then, may not of even showed he was 13 years older, or it is really aged 90 (so worn 9 looks like a 7 ?)and they thought him older.
