Notes

Updated March 10, 2023. Compiled by Howder (www.howderfamily.com) from the following source(s):

(1) McLellan, Hugh Davis. History of Gorham, Me. Portland, Maine, Smith & Sale, printers, 1903. Pages 488-489.

"Andrew COBB, son of Chipman, lived in Falmouth for some years. He moved to Gorham about 1767. He bought of Nathan WHITNEY, Oct 3, 1764, the eastern half of the hundred acre lot, No 38, on which he built and settled in 1767. He became dissatisfied with the ministrations of the Rev. Mr. THACHER at the time of the New Light excitement, and was one of those exempted by vote of the town from paying a tax for the support of the settled ministry. He finally withdrew to the Free Will Baptist society, founded in 1781; of which denomination he became a most earnest and prominent member. (See F.D. STUART's History of F. W. B. Vol. 1, p. 89.) On a Sunday in June, 1798, while the men were away at a F. W. Baptist Convention, which was in session in another part of the town, and the women were busy preparing dinner for the large company that was expected to return with them from the meetings, Mr. COBB’s house caught fire and was burned to the ground. The same year he, and his son Ebenezer, built a house on the southeast corner of the hundred acre lot 39, which Andrew had purchased Nov. 15, 1779, of Edmund BRAMHALL. His grandson says the rooms were made large, with especial reference to the accommodation of the 'brethren and sisters, who were accustomed to hold their meetings at private houses.' Andrew and his wife occupied the west end of the house, and Ebenezer and his wife had the east end, and their respective initials were built into the bricks of the chimney on the east and west sides of it. This house, now gone, was standing as late as 1889. Andrew COBB married Hannah GREEN the daughter of Mrs. Chipman COBB, his stepmother by her first husband Mr. GREEN... Mrs Hannah GREEN COBB died Apr. 30, 1803, aged 69. Mr. COBB married Apr. 21, 1804, Mrs. Hannah FOWLER. Her maiden name was Hannah WHITNEY. October, 1755, she married Joseph HAMBLEN of Gorham. He died in 1763, and she married June 27, 1765, Moses FOWLER of Falmouth. She was a zealous believer in the 'New Light' doctrine. It is said that at one of their meetings she broke out into a song 'I can jump, I can jump, over the walls of Jericho.' To which some one responded 'No wonder for the walls are broken down.' Dea Andrew COBB moved to Limington, where he died with his son Andrew, July 22, 1822, aged 88."
