    Notes 
    • Henry was brought up in the Church of England, but in his young manhood, because of the wrongs tolerated in that Church, broke away from the Establishment and joined the Pilgrims. He is said to have united with the Congregational Church in London, of which the Rev. John Lothrop was then pastor. He probably came to America in "the Anne" in 1629. He moved to Scituate, Massachusetts, in 1633, and from there to Barnstable, Massachusetts in 1639. He was Deacon or Ruling Elder in Scituate and Barnstable 34 years. He also held various civil offices, among them that of Deputy to the General Court of the Colony for several years. Henry and his 2 wives had 16 children, 3 born in Plymouth, 2 in Scituate, and 11 in Barnstable. [from Cobb Family, L.H. Cobb, 1897, #CS 71 C653]
