Lodging with with Cornelius BROWN (80) Ag Labourer and Marget (sic) (75), his wife, Labourers wife born Grange and East Lulworth, Dorset respectively, Other lodgers were George SKILLARD (24) born East Lulworth, Dorset and John DOREY (14) born both unmarried, and Ag Labourers. was that for Cornelius. 1852 Brick Kilns, Coombe Keynes, Dorset 1861 Wool, Dorset. Living with them was sister-in-law Maria MOODY (29) born Basingstoke, Hampshire and niece Anne Hope MOODY (6) Scholar born Odiham, Hampshire 1871 West Lulworth, Dorset 1880 Nodaway Township, Andrew County, Missouri, USA. Living with them were daughter Mary and her husband Walter CLARK. Also at same address was Charles NOBAN?/URBAN?/MABAN? (23) born Missouri, USA, father and mother born in Germany Amos COBB’s house was rated at £3. 0s. 0d in 1863 but by 1866 his house and land were rated at £13.10s. 0d. The rates he had to pay increased between 1863 and 1869 from 2d to 1/8d. But there was a note “not paid” in 1869. AMOS COBB and Family Amos COBB, born in Blandford, Dorset in 1824, was the second child and first son of Samuel and Elizabeth Arabella (née BROWN) COBB. The second son in the family was born two years later and was baptised in the church at East Stoke, as were the three younger daughters. Their mother died in February 1835, and Samuel married again in the September to Jane (or Sara) CHAMP. Amos remembered her as being very kind to her step-children, of which there were soon only five as the oldest daughter, Thirza died in 1836 aged only fourteen. Samuel and Jane had six children, the last five all being baptised in the East Stoke church, where the burials of his first wife and daughter also took place. In 1841 Samuel, Jane and their older daughter, together with Elizabeth and Jane from the first marriage, were living in Stokeford, East Stoke. Amos, Arthur and Eliza, with the new baby Abigail were living in Creech, Church Knowle. It would seem probable that Samuel brought up both his families in the Stokeford area of East Stoke where he had inherited property from his mother. He was involved in the manufacture of bricks and left his business to his two sons, Amos and Arthur, at his death in 1851. Jane, his wife, remained in Stokeford with her own children, later becoming a Grocer. By 1851, of the children of the first marriage Arthur and Elizabeth were married themselves, and Jane was probably a servant to a family in Church Knowle where her brother Arthur was living with his new wife. It is possible that Amos was lodging in Coombe Keynes in 1851 with a Cornelius BROWN and his wife Margaret although this Amos gave his age as only twenty four years. (But where was Eliza? Perhaps Amos made out he was younger than he really was because by this time he had already met Harriet BRAND who was only sixteen. Harriet lived a very short distance from Coombe Keynes in Park Lodge on the Lulworth Castle estate where her uncle was employed in a responsible position. Amos was said to be quiet, sober and industrious but her family were not happy about the relationship as there were so many differences between the couple, besides their ages. Harriet BRAND was small, quick and vivacious, an extremely good needlewoman (who was later kept busy making clothes for her many children), and a Catholic. Born in Basingstoke, Hampshire, one of seven children, she was orphaned at seven when she was taken into the home of her Uncle, Henry BRAND and his wife. (In East Lulworth in 1851 there was a Henry BRAND, Baker). Harriet was educated in private schools using money left by her parents and was “reared to be a lady, which she was to her dying day”. However, the marriage, or rather marriages, took place in East Lulworth in 1852. Due to the differences in religion they were married both in the Parish Church of St Andrew, and then in the Roman Catholic Chapel of St Mary in the Castle grounds. Amos’s early occupation was in agriculture, but in 1851 with the death of his father he had the opportunity to be involved in brickmaking. In 1852 he was living at the Brick Kilns in Coombe Keynes and after their wedding took his bride back to a completely furnished home, which, said his sister, only lacked a coal scuttle. In the early years of their marriage Amos and Harriet, together with their growing family, lived in Coombe Keynes and East Lulworth. In 1860 and 1861 they were living in Wool before moving back to Coombe Keynes between 1862 to 1869 and then to West Lulworth by 1871. It is said that Amos moved to West Lulworth as he believed the area was going to be developed and his goods would be in demand. He established a crockery plant on the coast. Apparently, he was “prospering when a disastrous tidal wave completely washed away the business”. (Or maybe it was a storm and record high tides in the Channel). In 1869 Eliza BALSON née COBB, the sister of Amos, had emigrated to the United Stated with her husband and family. She was living in Savannah, Missouri, wrote home of all the advantages of her new life, and eventually persuaded her brother to join her. Mildred Ralph Hartley wrote: “It must have required a lot of faith and courage to start on this journey to establish a new home! But in 1872 Amos COBB accepted the challenge”. So, Amos moved his family to a comfortable well-furnished, but smaller home, and in March 1872 he sailed from Liverpool on the SS Brooklyn to America along with, 938 other passengers, with the idea that if all went well for him he would send for his wife and eleven children. He arrived in New York on the 1st April 1872 On his arrival in his new country Amos COBB, through a misunderstanding, went to Beford in Iowa instead of Beford, Indiana where there was good brick making to be done. He worked as a farm hand for a year and then moved to Andrew County Missouri where his sister lived. There he bought a farm about one and a half miles northeast of Savannah where the clay was suitable for brick making. There was also suitable rock which could be quarried. Amos worked hard, using the bricks and stone to build, amongst other places, Andrew County’s first court house and school His neighbour was John J Holt who helped Amos build a house. Within two years he was able to send for his wife and family. Harriet must have found the travelling extremely difficult but as she was a “very loyal wife and mother”, she was prepared to make the journey to start a new life with her husband. The eldest daughter travelling with her was eighteen years old but the youngest child was only three and there were three others under ten. They left England from Southampton. Instead of the usual two thousand on the ship, the SS Hecla, there were only eight hundred passengers, but Harriet did not approve of the accomodation provided, and arrangements were made for Harriet, her daughters, and the youngest boy to use some of the officers’ quarters. The ladies suffered seasickness because of the storms which accompanied the crossing, so the boys in steerage were able to get up to mischief, although kindly passengers and crew helped look after the younger children. Harriet COBB and nine of her eleven children arrived in Boston Harbour on the 9th February 1874 and in Savannah on the 14th of that month, the two older girls travelling at a later date. Amos was not sure when they would arrive. He had been told that no more trains were expected that day so had left the station and there was, therefore no one to meet the travellers. However, someone looked after them all, and sent to Amos to let him know they had arrived. Harriet and the children were offered a wagon in which to ride to their new home and on the way they saw Amos coming towards them. The excited family arrived to find their home was a three roomed log cabin, and then, the next day, it snowed. In the months ahead, with the help of his sons additional rooms were added to the cabin, and then in 1876 or 1877 a new brick and stone house was built with the help of the HOLT family next door. It was furnished with second hand furniture and Harriet made rag carpets for the floor. After going to America, Amos and Harriet had two more children, Alice and Minnie. As the older children married it was a custom for the bride and groom to use the old log cabin home which came to be known as the “Weaning House”. The log cabin disappeared in the 1930s as it fell into disrepair. The COBBs lived in their brick and stone house until after the death of Amos in 1894. Harriet then lived in Savannah from 1894 until her death in 1928. Today the home Amos built is on the National Historic Register. There were many references to Amos COBB in local newspapers His “new lime kiln”, his “brick business, and “the large quantity of good brick and lime” he was hoping to make in the summer of 1877 were all mentioned. Besides these activities the family also went into the ice business. Ice was cut during the winter from a nearby river and stored for sale during the following summer. In addition he farmed on the land he had bought. They had a cow called “Old Crump” which Edward was meant to milk, but Alice usually ended up with that job. They had a spring on their property, they raised hogs and grew vegetables so there was always plenty to eat. As Amos prospered he was able to add more land to his holding, increasing the size to 130 acres. Amos was said to be a kindly man, honest, hardworking and devoted to his wife and family. Another family member said he was quiet, kind, scrupulously honest and liked fair dealing, “ a simple, kindly man who loved his family devotedly”. His neighbours liked and respected him. He liked a card game, but never gambled. In his earlier life he was “built like a bull, but later he was thin, and looked stern with a long beard. He was blue eyed and of fair complexion. He was a good farmer, a good builder and a hard worker. He was also literate and a good penman, writing letters to his sister Jane who emigrated to Australia. It would appear that Amos completed a “Declaration of Intention” to become a citizen of the United States, but it would also appear that he did not go further than declaring his intent. Harriet had “personality”, she was said to be “vivacious and quick tempered, both extravagant and generous”. She was petite, proud and a firm believer that blood was thicker than water. Her family were very important to her and she considered her children and grandchildren the “almost perfect ones”. Harriet was not used to living the life of a pioneer. In England, she had “Old Stoekly” to help her wash, iron, cook and clean so she had to make many adjustments to life in America. It is said that the COBB name commanded respect. All the family were very active in the Mt Vernon Baptist Church and later a number of them were charter members of the First Baptist Church in Savannah. Amos died on the 16th May 1894 and is buried in Savannah Cemetery along with his wife, Harriet Brand COBB and many of their thirteen children.
