William Pinketham, of York Co., in the Colony of Virginia, made his will Dec. 1, 1712, by which he gave certain negroes to his dau. Rebecca, his only child and heir at law; married Robert Cobbs, and died 1715, in the lifetime of her husband, leaving issue one dau. Elizabeth aged 11 years. The said Robert afterwards married with Elizabeth (daughter of Daniel Allen) by whom he had two children, the appellants Sarah and Martha. Robert Cobbs made his will 10 Dec. 1725, which was proved February 21, 1725-'26, making his wife Elizabeth and Daniel Allen exors.
After the death of Robert Cobbs, his widow, Elizabeth. married Samuel Weldon and died August 1, 1747; and the said Elizabeth, daughter of Robert Cobbs by his first wife, married James Sheilds in the life time of said Elizabeth Weldon. This case was long drawn out and taken on appeal to the Privy Council in England where it was pending in 1753.
