I am looking for information on Charles Donald Cobb who was born 05/28/1932 and died 03/10/2003. If anyone happens to have any information on this person, I would really like to exchange information with you?

Thanks In Advance,
K.Chris Vickery

Is he black or white and what state did he reside?

He's white and I am assuming that he lived in South Carolina

Okay thanks....my Cobbs are African American from the Kentucky area....but good luck in your search.

Here's what I find. Strangely enough, this Cobb family was from Alabama.
