↑ No birth record in New Salem is found. Thomas Cobb is named as executor of Reuben Bridge's will, and Rebecca Cobb is a witness (Franklin probate 512), suggesting a close relationship, but records seem to rule out child (only child in will is Elizabeth) or sibling (Shutesbury records p. 67). Possibly Rebecca is a niece, but no evidence of her parentage has been located.
