| Notes |
- This memorial is dedicated Ambrose Cobbs. He was the son of Ambrose Cobbs and Angelica Hunt. Ambrose married Ann White on April 18, 1625 in Norton Parish, Kent County, England.
They were the parents of
Ambrose Cobbs was christened on March 12, 1625 in Willesborough, Kent. He died before August 18, 1626 in Kent.
Robert Cobbs (born before January 7, 1627).
Jane Cobbs was born before 1630 in Willesborough, Kent. She died before January 12, 1634. She was buried in Willesborough, Kent.
Margaret Cobbs (born in 1631).
Ambrose Cobbs (born in 1635/36).
Thomas Cobbs was born in 1637 in Charles River County, Virginia. He died in 1702 in York County, Virginia. He never married and died without issue.
In 1633, Ambrose and Ann sold their lands in England, and probably made their immigration in 1635, most likely landing at Jamestown. Their party consisted of Ambrose and Ann; children Robert, and Margaret.
The land settled by Ambrose and Ann Cobbs is now partially occupied by "Point of Rocks Park", a 188-acre athletic complex operated by Chesterfield County (Chesterfield was created from Henrico in 1749.). The park is located on Enon Church Road, about 1.5 miles south of Interstate Highway 295. An archeological survey was done of the property prior to development, and those plats and maps are available in the Virginia State Archives. A historical marker identifies the park as being the original location of Cobbs Hall.
Ambrose and Ann were buried in the small cemetery that is located at the extreme northeast corner of the tract. In 1864, invading Union troops destroyed all the headstones but one (a woman not related to the Cobbs family who died in 1801). Some years later, Wyndham Robertson (1803-1888), a Bolling descendant and one-time governor of Virginia, and a direct descendant of Pocahontas, was buried at "Cobbs", and his grave is prominently marked. The cemetery is not accessible directly from the park. It can only be reached by a public street that runs parallel to the northern park boundary. It is located in a cul de sac and is surrounded by a rock wall approximately four feet in height. [2]
