Jonathan Cobb and his wife Hope resided in Barnstable, in which town
all their children were born, until about the year 1703, when they removed with their family to Middleborough. The Barnstable Church records show that Hope, the wife of Jonathan Cobb was dismissed from the Barnstable Church to the church in Middleborough June 3, 1703. He was a Deacon in the Middleborough Church as was then by occupation a farmer. The records of the First Congregational Church in Middleborough show that Deacon Jonathan Cobb died Aug 15, 1728 age 68 years and that his wife Hope died July 26, 1728 aged about 76. [Cobb Fam.
