** Information about Judge Albert Galington & Margaret Jane Yardley Cobb: (found on CountyGenWeb of Robertson Co, TX)
COBB, JUDGE ALBERT G. was born in Leon County, Texas, August 16, 1846, and moved with his parents to Robertson County at the age of 4 years in 1850. He spent his boyhood in a country home about 12 miles from Franklin, Texas.
In January of 1866 he was married to Miss Marguerite Yardley, a resident of his home community. Some years after his marriage, Judge Cobb and his family moved to Wheelock and came to Hearne, Texas in 1900. Mrs. Cobb passed away in 1914. Children born to Judge and Mrs. Cobb were: Mrs. A. G. Arnett, Mattie Cobb New, Maggie Cobb, Viola J. Cobb, Newt Cobb, Will Cobb, John L. Cobb, and Harvey Cobb. Three other children born to this union died in infancy.
Judge Cobb, in addition to being justice of the Peace of Precinct Number Two in Hearne, was also a leader in church work serving many years on the Board of Deacons of the First Baptist Church. In his business affairs, Judge Cobb's Christian thinking and upright living brought him the confidence of all men, and during the 14 years that he served at Wheelock as justice of the Peace and the 18 years that he served in the same capacity at Hearne, he meted out justice in its real meaning. He was a member of the Confederate Army and served actively during the Civil War with T. W. McNeel and "Uncle Dick" Boswell. Judge Albert G. Cobb died May 1, 1924 and is buried in Norwood Cemetery in Hearne.
