• Note: Another James W. Cobb, who was also born in Alabama in 1847, was residing in Carrollton (Pickens County), Alabama in 1850, according to the 1850 Federal Census. He was the son of John and Sarah Cobb (both from South Carolina). Is he the "John W." that settled in Louisiana and could he have been confused with John Washington in some genealogies? In the 1880 census, James W. lists his father and mother as being born in Alabama and S. Carolina, respectively.
