| |
Dates: |

|
| |
Contents: |
The family papers include genealogy research, correspondence, clippings, photographs, land grants, deeds, wills, diaries and
printed material related to the Gibbs, Wynn/e, Allen, Burns, Chenault, Fisher, and Parker families between 1826-2014. The
Wynne family name has several variations in spelling including Wynne, Wynn, and Winn. In his 1912 article about the Wynn family
reunion, Gus Edwards spells the surname without a final "e." He goes on to write, "In the long ago the family name used to
be spelled with a final 'e,' thus, Wynne, but in later years somehow or other the family began to write simply, W-y-n-n."
The ancestors of Robert Adin Gibbs (1874-1944) and Theola Fisher Parker (1876-1951) encompass the five major family lines
in this collection. The collection also includes an address book, family bible, account book, recipe, receipts, and Civil
War-era letters by various family members including those between Eliza Jane Wynne (1837-1916) and her husband Charles Rollin
Gibbs (1835-1903).

Dates: |
1793-1932 |
|
| |
Contents: |
The collection consists of papers of Howell Cobb and the Cobb family from 1793 to 1932. The bulk of the collection is correspondence,
mostly addressed to Howell Cobb, dating from 1839 to 1868. There is a large amount of correspondence between Howell Cobb,
his wife Mary Ann Lamar, and her brother John B. Lamar. The letters discuss politics in both Georgia and the United States,
the Confederate States of America including its formation and administration, and information on Cobb's business interests,
especially his plantations. After Cobb's death in 1868, the remainder of the correspondence is between other family members
including John A. Cobb, Howell Cobb, Jr., Alexander Erwin, and Mary Erwin discussing family and social news, business interests,
and legal cases. While the correspondence primarily documents the Cobb, Lamar, Erwin, and Barrow faimilies, there is also
a large amount of correspondence from the Jackson, Hull, Rootes, Lumpkin, King, Pope, Rutherford, Prince, and Nisbet families.
The earliest material includes indentures and land grants (1793-1829) relating to Zachariah Lamar's business interests.
The clippings do not focus on Howell Cobb, with the very rare exception. These seem to have been donated by family but are
very general in nature. The journals and diaries are from family members and friends.
