Have you not subscribed to the
Bertie County, NC Rootsweb page? It is a very busy active site and you will probably get many answers to your queries. I subscribe to this
Cobb Family Forum and also the
Bertie County, NC site.
I have a copy of Joe Cobb's book. Many of my cousins also have copies. One first cousin who lives in Alexanderia, VA said he saw a copy the other day selling for $399. Check E-bay and Amazon.com to see what they are selling for. You might also see if you can get a copy through inter library loan at your local library. I use that system a lot when I need books that are out of print.
Joe Cobb's wife sold them after his death and I think after her death his daughter had the rest of the copies. I don't know her name or email address though.
I have been researching my Cobb/White family from
Bertie for some time and am now trying to do research on
Hardy Humphrey Cobb. What
Cobb line are you descended from?
Also I noticed that this thread began with an email from K. Paul
Johnson back in about 2001. I have been reading his book,
Pell Mellers, Race and
Memory in a
Carolina Pocosin.
I have found it a great read and a good source for information on
Bertie County that you can't find otherwise. I got my copy from Amazon.com. I need to email him in the near future and ask him some questions that I have on the White family.
Please keep in touch.
