Census shows David in Rober tson co., 1840 and 1844, in Leon co. 1846., and back in Robertson co., in 18 60. David wrote the following letter to his siter and brother-in-law Patsy C obb and Jefferson Reed. It reveals a great deal about the Cobb Family and th e hard times during the Civil War. In the letter he refers to his mother, hi s brother Clay, his brother Pinkney, and his brother Will (Bryant Williamson) , He also mentions his sister and brother-in-law Emeline Cobb and William Ree d. The spelling and punctuation of the letter indicates that he had a limi ted education but was able to write. Wheelock February 22, 1863 Dear Brothe rs and Sister, I drop you a few lines to let you known that we are all well. I am not in good health myself. I have been in bad health all winter. I hop e when these lines come to hand, they will find you all well and doing well . I requested by Mrs. Stoakes, to know if you would take Confederate Money f or what she owes you and if not to know if you would take other notes for the place of hers and to write to me. I told her I thought it very doubtful whe n you would take the money or not. They estate is very good for it's debts., I recieved a letter from Brother Clay a few days ago informing us of the death of his wife. She died the 7th of this instants. He said the rest of t hem were well. The connection is all well down here so far as I know. Mother was well the last time I heard from her. She has been up at Brother Pinkne y's ever since last fall. Brother Will is at Galveston. He was well the last account. He is in Captain Richardson's CA Elmore Regiment. We had a very bad murder in our neighborhood. Not long since some unknown person shot Wiet Coleman in his home just after dark. He never spoke after his was shot. It is believed by the most of the neighbornood that his son-in-law killed him, a man by the name of Rogers, also Marke Colman, one of Roger's brothers, sinc e about the same. I was drafted but I was discharged on account of my health. We have had a great deal of rain this winter. The ground is so we we can't plow. We are about to be very backend here with our crops. I want you to write to us as soonas this line comes to hand and fail not. I will close fo this time. Give our respect to Brother William and Sister Emeline and all th e balance of our friends up there and exptect the same for yourselves. So fa rewell for this time but I hope it will not be a final farewell, I hope if we are never permitted to meet in this life, we will all meet in the world to c ome, where parting will be no more. So I remain your brother until death, David Cobb. David Cobb, Killough's Co. Wheelock Home Guards Texas.
