EVILO COBB,* a well-to-do farmer of Ashland, N. Y., was born in Wind- ham, Greene County, March 4, 1821, son of Simon and Eunice (Lewis) Cobb. His father came here from Connecticut as a pioneer, and cleared off a tract of land, which he improved into a good farm. He was an early schoolmaster in this locality, and figured quite prominently in the growth and develop- ment of the town. He died at the age of fifty- five years. Simon Cobb and his wife, Eunice, were the parents of ten children. Three of the four now living are: Revilo, Edwin, and Sidney. The mother died at the age of seventy-two.
-
Revilo Cobb was reared upon the homestead farm, and was educated in Windham. His boyhood was spent in a log house, and his clothing, like that of other children of this lo- cality at that time, was made from home-raised wool and flax, which were spun, woven, and
made up by the deft hands of his mother. When a young man he turned his attention to agriculture, and tilled the soil of one farm for a period of thirty-eight years. In 1888 he moved to bis present farm of fifty acres, which is admirably located and unusually fertile. His principal efforts are devoted to the care of a well-equipped dairy. He was formerly an extensive sheep-raiser, and in that, as well as in dairy farming, he has, through his energy, perseverance, and sound judgment, realized ex- cellent financial results. He still possesses the strength and agility of a much younger man, and attends to his every-day duties with the same activity that has for years been one of his chief characteristics. In politics he is a Democrat.
Mr. Cobb married Louisa Barlow, who was born in Ashland, daughter of Alanson Bar- low. Her father spent his active life upon a farm in this town, and died at the age of seventy-seven years. Mrs. Cobb died at the age of seventy-six. She was the mother of but one child, George A., who was born in Ashland, October 28, 1850. Revilo Cobb acted as a vestryman of the Episcopal church for a number of years, and his wife was a member.
George A. Cobb completed his education in West Windham, and taught school a number of terms in different places. He took charge of the homestead farm when his father left it, and he carried it on until 1894, when he re- linquished it in order to assist his father. In 1878 George A. Cobb married Elizabeth Sut- ton, who was born in Windham, N. Y., daugh- ter of Aden and Elizabeth (Cook) Sutton. Her

BIOGRAPHICAL REVIEW
father was a native of Schoharie County, and her mother was born in Windham, daughter of Ichabod Cook. Aden and Elizabeth C. Sutton were the parents of four children, namely : Elizabeth, wife of George A. Cobb; Polly, wife of Henry Sutton; Ella, who married H. D. Martin; and Dr. I. F. Sutton, a physi- cian, who died at the age of thirty-two years. Aden Sutton married for his second wife Theresa Cook, who died at the age of thirty- seven years, leaving a daughter Ursula. The latter married I. C. Lee, a merchant of this
town, and is no longer living. The father died at the age of seventy-two years. He be- longed to the Methodist Episcopal church, in which he was at one time a class leader, choir director, and steward.
George A. Cobb is a Democrat in politics, and takes an active interest in public affairs. He was one of the organizers of the local grange, Patrons of Husbandry, and is its pres- ent Master. Mr. and Mrs. George A. Cobb have one daughter, Hattie. They attend the Methodist Episcopal church.
