"She was Mr. COBB"s second wife, and her maiden name was Mary BLOOM. According to the record left by the late Isaac COBB, of Portland, who was a great-grandson of Chipman COBB, they are both buried in the old cemetery at Gorham Village."

Ebenezer and Mary [BLOOM] HALL and their family inhabited Matinicus Island (now part of Maine), which belonged by treaty to the Penobscot Indians. They ignoring repeated warnings both by the Penobscots and Massachusetts government to relinquish control. In June 1757, the Indians attacked the home and killed Ebenezer after a ten-day siege. Mary and their four children were carried away from the island.

Mary was separated from her children and carried to Quebec. Capt. Andrew WATKINS paid her ransom and she made it back to New England after about eighteen months. She found "Chipman COBB and married him in 1765, moved from Portland to Gorham about 1775, and died there in her ninetieth year."
