Notes
for William COBB:
THE
COBBS IN EAST STOKE, DORSET
As
can be seen from the extracts from the Accounts of the Overseers of the Poor
1803 - 1825, the name COBB featured very prominently throughout most of the
period covered by these records. From the Parish Registers it would seem that our
COBB family was the only one in East Stoke at this time and presumably,
therefore, all the references relate to our ancestors.
In
1802 William and Margaret were still living in their house, assessed for rates
in 1802 and 1803 at 2d. William would have been about 43 years old and probably
Margaret was of a similar age. At this
date at least some of their children would have still been at home. John (age 21), William (age 18), Betty (age
15) and David (age14) could have found accommodation elsewhere but Abigail (10)
and Samuel (6) would surely be still living with their parents. William’s mother, Elizabeth COBB née HARRIS
was buried in the parish church in 1805, so it could be that she also lived
with William. Or it might have been her
home in which the family lived as in 1803 the Overseers were unable to obtain
payment of rates from Widow COBB.
William
was obviously having trouble finding enough money to provide for his
dependants, a problem caused on several occasions through his poor health which
originally lasted at least two years.
From July 1802 to the 29th April 1804 the Overseers paid either William
or his wife about 1/-d a week. Although
he appears to have been able to manage for a couple of months his troubles
began again in June of that year, then his daughter was ill early in the following year, followed by
the death of his mother in February 1805.
There followed an "extraordinary" payment from the Overseers.
In
1804 the Overseers had paid out more than they collected, and a similar
situation was to arise the following year.
On the 30th March 1805, the same year in which Elizabeth COBB died, the decision was taken by the Overseers to
build a Poor House. Throughout 1805
Billy, and later Edward, TIZARD were paid 2/-d a week "for washing COBB’s
family". Was this because they were
too ill to do it themselves? Although
only in his forties William continued to be ill and received regular payments
from the Overseers throughout 1806. It
could be that his family moved to the Poorhouse at this time as there are no
further entries for William or his wife.
He died in the Poorhouse and was buried in St Mary the Virgin, East
Stoke on the 12th May 1811 as a Poorman.
It
would seem, therefore, that William was really destitute. However, his wife, Margaret, made a Will
seven months later. She was then living
in Stockford in East Stoke and had a "cottage, orchard and garden"
which she left to Elizabeth CHICK her mother, then after her death to Samuel
COBB her son, and then after his death to Abigail COBB her daughter. Although she died in 1812 it could be that
there was a dispute over the Will as it was not proved until 1819.
By
this time the three eldest sons of William and Margaret were married, John and
William probably moving to Bere Regis soon after the death of their
mother. Following his first marriage in
1810 in Wareham, most of the major events in the life of the third son, David,
took place in East Stoke. However,
although he lived until his 78th year it would seem that for the years of the
Overseers accounts at least he was frequently ill and in need of their
assistance. Three years after his
marriage to Elizabeth HARVEY, on the 27th December 1813, he received his first
payment.
He probably recovered towards the end of
January 1814, but from November 1815 there were regular payments of differing
amounts. On several occasions such
payments were for the rent for his house (which amounted to £2. 0s. 0d
in a full year). He also received money
to buy thatching tools in December 1817, but by February 1818 was again
receiving money from the Overseers due to his illness. During 1819, at times, he was the only
parishioner listed in the accounts. In
June 1819 the Overseers tried a different method of helping David; they paid
him for cutting turf. However, by the
November they were paying him 1/6d daily.
It is
possible that by March 1820, both his health and his employment prospects
improved but in July 1821 he is again receiving payments and by October of that
year he was out of work. Payments
stopped in March 1822, but a bad foot was the reason for them to be resumed
later in the year. He obviously
recovered his health in 1823, but again in 1824 he was depending on the payments made by the
Overseers.
By
this time he had five children, with another son by his first wife to be born
in 1826, the year after the Accounts
end. His first wife died in 1837 and it
would seem that David left East Stoke sometime after that for in 1841 his
children, Martha, Alice and Charles, aged 20, 18 and 15 respectively, were
living in Stokeford without their father, or their older brother, David. (Where were the two Davids at the time of the
1841 Census?) Both Davids eventually returned to East Stoke. David the elder’s health probably improved
as he married his second wife in East Stoke in the September of 1841. He still
depended on the parish for in the year 1840 to 1841 he received 8s 10d for coke
and coal He died in East Stoke in 1866 and was buried at the parish church on
the 2nd December 1866

- Elizabeth CHICK died Age 85 years buried 22nd January 1818 St Mary the
Virgin, East Stoke, Dorset. The Will of
Margaret COBB was not proved until 1819 which was after the death of Elizabeth
CHICK who had been left Margaret’s cottage or dwelling house, orchard and
garden in Stockford, East Stoke, Dorset.
Were Samuel and Abigail, the executors, waiting for Elizabeth’s death
before having the Will proved? Why were
the other children not remembered in the Will?

SAMUEL
COBB AND FAMILY
Samuel
COBB was born and baptised in the village of East Stoke, Dorset in 1796, the
youngest child of William and Margaret.
William died in 1811 and during the last ten years of his life at least,
before Samuel was of an age to be earning his living, the family suffered much hardship. However, with the death of his mother in
1812, although only 16 years old, Samuel, and his sister Abigail, probably thought their troubles were over as
they, together with their grandmother, Elizabeth CHICK, were the beneficiaries
named in Margaret’s Will. The Will
could, however, have been challenged, perhaps by William, John and David,
brothers to Samuel, as it was not proved until 1819 for less than £100. Or
perhaps Samuel and Abigail did not have the Will proved until after the death
of their grandmother in 1818. In 1819
Samuel had a Cottage and Enclosure rated at £2. 3s. 0d on which his assessment
was 8/6d. He still lived in the property
in 1821 but the owner was a Mr Bond.
In
the same year, Samuel married Elizabeth Arabella BROWN in the Church of St Mary
the Virgin in East Stoke. They moved to
Blandford where their first two children were born, returning to East Stoke
before the arrival of their third child
in 1826. Three other children were born before 1835 when at 32 years of age,
Elizabeth Arabella died. His children
were aged from 2 to 14 years but within six months Samuel had married again, to
Jane CHAMP. Amos COBB described his step-mother
as being “very kind”.
For
some reason, on the night of the first census in 1841, the family were not all
living together. On that night, as Thirza, the eldest daughter, had died in
1836, Amos at 17 was the oldest in the
family. He, together with his brother
Arthur, sister Eliza and his 3 year old step sister, Abigail, were living in Creech, whilst Samuel
and Jane with their own daughter, Mary Anne, together with Elizabeth and Jane
by his first wife, were in Stokeford.
Several
events occured during the next ten years.
A son Samuel was born in 1842, dying two years later. Three months after his burial another Samuel
was baptised, followed by Thirza (1846) and Charles John (1849). In that year Arthur married Elizabeth MARSH,
and Elizabeth married her cousin David COBB.
It
would appear that over the years Samuel was able to rent several plots of
land. On the 13th September 1847 he had
made an agreement with a William GOODWIN to rent a cottage, ‘tenement’, garden,
fuelhouse, together with a piece of ground and a field, then both arable,
called Home Close and Poor Close, the latter including the withy bed, all
amounting to about four acres and situated in Highwood, in the parish of East
Stoke, Dorset. The rent was £10 a year
and in addition Samuel had to pay any rates which came due on the
property. He was allowed £3. 12s. 2d. in
the first two years for repairs which were the responsibility of the previous
tentant, but thereafter he had to keep the property in “good tenantable repair”
and “manage the land in a proper husbandlike manner”. The agreement was for seven years but then,
in the Spring of 1851 Samuel died at the age of 54. Nevertheless, it could be
that by this time he was renting several other plots of land. Six years before his death, at the time of
the Tithe Apportionment in 1845, a Samuel COBB rented Arable land from
Elizabeth ANGEL for 2s 5d. At the same
date David BARNES rented a Garden, 2 Arable plots and Rough-Furze to a Samuel
COBB for a total of 9s 2d. It is also
possible that Samuel still had his original holding rented for 1s 8d from the
Reverend Nathaniel BOND who was the largest landowner in the Parish of East
Stoke.
Samuel
was employed in several occupations during his life, Labourer, Brickmaker,
Brickburner, Tradesman, Farmer and Builder.
Directories show him as a Shopkeeper in 1848, and a Grocer and Dealer in
1851, but his will refers to him as Brickmaker and Farmer. In this document he appears to have little
confidence in the future behaviour of his wife, Jane, and following his death
his affairs were to be organised by his friend, John HOBBS and the sons by his
first wife, Amos and Arthur COBB. Amos
went to America, while Arthur spent the rest of his life in Creech, Church
Knowle, Dorset.
Your
Oath is that the within named Samuel Cobb died on or about the twenty eighth
day of February One Thousand Eight Hundred and fifty one. That the writing hereunto annexed contains
his true last will and testament (with codicil hereto annexed) as far as you
know or believe. That you are the joint
Executors named in the said will and codicil and that you will truly perform
the same by paying first his debts and
then the legacies contained in the said will and codicil as far as the goods
chattels and credits will thereto extend and the Law requires that you will make a true and
perfect inventory of all the said goods chattels and credits and exhibit the
same into the Register of the Court of the Archdeacon of Dorset at the time
assigned you by the said Court and render a just account hereon when thereto
lawfully required. And lastly that the

Notes
for Elizabeth DAY:
IGI
baptism,
John
TERRY found, when searching for details for Elizabet's son Richard, that the
parents of a Dorothy DAY who was a sister of Ezercier DAY was a William and
Dorothy DAY, but this Dorothy DAY was the only one baptised in Bere Regis. John then searched for Elizabeth born around
1811 in Dorset and I found these baptisms with William and Dorothy as parents.
So I assume it is the same family.
So
from this we now have the rest of the DAY family and perhaps the person that
brought James up was indeed Isaachar as shown by the 1851 Census and not
Ezercier as we have been told - the IGI shows the following:
Reuben
DAY baptised 15th March 1810 Wesleyan Chapel Lane High Street, Poole, Dorset
Shadrack
DAY baptised 18th July 1813 Wesleyan Chapel Lane High Street, Poole, Dorset
Isaachar
DAY baptised 10th April Wesleyan Chapel Lane High Street, Poole, Dorset
Mariah
DAY baptised 15th July 1818 Wesleyan Chapel Lane High Street, Poole, Dorset
Caroline

there is an Alfred and Mary Jane BROWN living in
