I have been researching the Virginia Cosby line for many years.My own personal search is for the parents of the Charles Cosby who married Susanna Firth in New Kent County.He first appears on the NK tax rolls in 1800, his brother John in 1798.This Charles moves to Petersburg Va. and dies in 1813?I have found several references to him in PG Co. records and Petersburg, NK and Charles and James City.This son had a son named Charles M. Cosby wo married Ann Mattox and they went to live in Danville.I won't bore you with the story from there.Anyway, my family also always said they were from Stradbally but I found reference to a t least 4 Cosbyimmagrants(sp) so I believe that not all Cosbys come from Stradbally.I spent a year and a half chasing the Cosbys in Williamsburg but I think for my line they do not fit.
I'd love to talk to anyone who is doing serious research on the Va. Cosbys.
