Biography

Mentioned in 18371230BJS_WHS1: "We have settled with Rowland Cobb." According to the Rootsweb source, Rowland's older children, Elijah and Elisha, were born in Gerry, NY, which is very near to Westfield (where BJS was handling the business from at this time). Rowland's parents also died in Gerry. Rowland is listed as being involved in the lumber business, and we know that BJS and WHS were dealing with the Lumberman's Bank and other related affairs near this time.
