Notes – Cobb
There are many DNA match connections with the Cobb family of South Caroina that originated in Virginia before 1660. My direct grandparentage begins with Elizabeth Cobb, 1807–1880, married to John Goforth Parker, 1798–1859.
Bill Golden
Notes – Godwin / Goodwin
Thomas Godwin (Bridger), born c1640 at New Kent, New Kent, Virginia; Death 27 May 1713-1714 at Suffolk, Nansemond, Virginia. Multiple DNA matches link two lines of our Goldens with Thomas Godwin’s descendants, which are themselves named Godwin. DNA matches exist with male descendants of Nathanael Greene Golden (b1783) and Samuel Golden (b1770 SC).
