This memorial is dedicated to my ancestor Ambrose Cobbs. He was the son of Robert Cobbs and Elizabeth Thorpe.
Ambrose married Frances Elizabeth Pinkett about 1686 in York County, Virginia.
They were the parents of:
Robert Cobbs b: 1687 in York County, Virginia
Thomas Cobbs b: 1689 in York County, Virginia
John Cobbs b: ABT 1691
Ambrose Cobbs , Jr. b: 1693 in York County, Virginia
Elizabeth Cobbs b: 1695 in York County, Virginia
Frances Cobbs b: 1697 in York County, Virginia
Edmund Cobbs b: 1699 in York County, Virginia
Ambrose became a church warden of Bruton Parish, at Williamsburg, and his name can be found today on a plaque commemorating the early history of that parish, on the wall of Bruton Parish Church, Colonial Williamsburg.
On March 18, 1716, he along with John Marat (Jean Marot), and John Hubbard, were given a license to operate an "ordinary" (a publichouse) in Williamsburg, "to supply lodging and diet for travelers with stabelage".
In his will, dated 24 April 1718, he named his daughter Francis; and sons Robert, Thomas, John, Edmund and Ambrose. Witnesses were Ann Frith, Joseph Frith, and Matthew Pierce. His wife and sons, Robert and Thomas, were made the Executors.
All his children except Thomas eventually moved away from York County. Thomas inherited land on Queen's Creek, in that part of Henrico County that later became part of Chesterfield County, from his father. Thomas, in turn, passed this land on to his sons.
