Howell Cobb family papers

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.
