Obadiah s of Richard Cobb & Esther B May 28 1709.
[Note: both Source:History of the Town of Hingham, Massachusetts, Vol. 3, p. 131; and MD, p. 49:103, equate this birthdate with Abiah, even though this copy of the records, made by Reuben Hersey, says Obadiah. It is suspected Hersey misread the record while the others looked at the original records though that is speculation. Certainly the marriage and children attributed to Abiah call him by that name.]
