Cobb-Howell family (Hanover Township, N. J.)
Biographical notes:
Edward Cobb (1731-1813) was most likely a descendant of the Cobb family of Massachusetts. He moved from Massachusetts to Morris County, New Jersey, where he established a farm in Hanover Township. His granddaughter, Elizabeth Cobb, married Benjamin Howell, Jr. (1786-1852), a well-known attorney. Howell was a direct descendant of Edward Howell, one of the first settlers of Morris County, who purchased land from Native Americans in 1640.
