Notes

Note: He was educated at Oxford University.Richard served Queen Elizabeth as a member of Henry Champions troop. In1576 he married Sybil Sheetz and settle d in Holland.

Similar verbiage from different source, with last name as "Cobbs" instead of "Cobb": "Following education at Oxford University, Richard Cobbs, "the Galliant Scot," served Queen Elizabeth I as a member of Henry Champion's troop of 110 gentlemen in the fight for the Protestant cause in France and Holland. With the religious wars terminated by the pacification of Ghent, he married Sybil Sheetz in 1576, and settled in Holland. "^[1]

Richard Cobb and Sybil Sheets: Marriage: 08 Nov 1576, Holland

"Richard Cobb, of Oxford and Aberdeen, student of Christ Church, fought against the Spaniards in the Low Countries, married Sybil Sheets, in Holland, November 8, 1576.She bore him sixteen children, one named Joseph, born in Amsterdam in 1588"^[2]

Discounting that he is the father of Joseph Cobb:

"In addition to the United Kingdom and the United States, I have found records in the Netherlands (and at Austin Friars Dutch Church in London), and indeed, family lore has it that Joseph Cobb was actually the son of Richard Cobb, a Scottish soldier serving in the Low Countries during the Eighty Years' War.

I personally do not hold with that theory, however, as the name Richard never re-appeared in our line. "[Rachel Ray] ^[3]
