    Notes 


    • After living some time in Falmouth, Ebenezer and Mary moved to Middleborough about 1745. In a deed made in 1749, he is called "Ebenezer Cobb of Middleborough, housewright," but must have returned to Maine by 1750 because on 8 November 1750, Ebenezer Cobb of Falmouth, housewright, was appointed by the court as the guardian of his nieces and nephews, the children of his sister, Hannah, named as Anna, John, Benjamin, and Sarah Swett, "minors under 14 & children of John Swett, late of Falmouth, deceased, to act on their behalf during their minorities." [Frost, Maine Probate Abstracts 8/119, 191 (John Swett)]

      On 19 December 1761, Ebenezer Cobb of Falmouth, housewright, for £13-6-8 paid by his son, Smith Cobb of Falmouth, housewright, conveyed to him the westerly half of a small lot of land in Falmouth "called the Neck," which Ebenezer had bought from his father, Samuel Cobb of Falmouth, housewright, which "deed dated 4 February 1754 [shows that] I am lawfully seized and possessed of the same in my own proper right as a good, perfect and absolute Estate of Inheritance in fee simple." [Cum Co Deeds 1:392-3]

      On 12 August 1770, Ebenezer Cobb of Falmouth, housewright, for £72 lawful money paid by [his sons] Smith Cobb and Jedediah Cobb of Falmouth, housewrights "(without any advantage to be taken by survivorship)," sold them 30 acres of land in Falmouth "being the same I bought from my brother, Chipman Cobb, by his deed dated 16 September 1749, recorded in York records, Lib. 3 Fol. 301." Witnesses were John Erving, Jr. and Enoch Freeman. This deed was acknowledged and recorded the same day. [Cum Co Deeds 5:302]

      On 27 February 1788, Ebenezer Cobb, now called "of Portland," housewright, sold to his son, Smith Cobb of Portland, housewright, for £80, "the western moiety or half-part of a lot of land in Portland ... together with the westerly end of the dwelling house thereon standing wherein I now live, the other end or half of said house & moiety of lot being owned by Samuel Freeman, Esq., who purchased the same from my son, Jedediah. Witnesses were Samuel Freeman and Mary Toby. The deed was acknowledged and recorded the same day. [Cumb Co Deeds 19:188-89.
