General Notes: Husband - [Ancestor] Coburn


The family name was originally Cockburn, and the ancestors of this American family came from England about 1620, settling in Connecticut. Col. R. Coburn, the great-uncle of James P. Coburn, did gallant service in the Revolutionary army, and was killed in the battle of Saratoga. One branch of the family came from Connecticut in the latter part of the 1700s, and bought lands in Bradford County, Pennsylvania, where they located. These estates were later taken from them by the decision in the contest over the adverse titles granted by Penn and the English Crown.
