Migration of the Cobeler family
Many English families tired of political and religious strife left Britain for the new colonies in North America. Although the trip itself offered no relief - conditions on the ships were extremely cramped, and many travelers arrived diseased, starving, and destitute - these immigrants believed the opportunities that awaited them were worth the risks. Once in the colonies, many of the families did indeed prosper and, in turn, made significant contributions to the culture and economies of the growing colonies. An inquiry into the early roots of North American families has revealed a number of immigrants bearing the name Cobeler or a variant listed above: Mary Cobler, who arrived in Maryland in 1681; Frederick Cobbler, who arrived in Virginia in 1718; Frederick Cobler, who arrived in Virginia in 1718; Barbara Cobbler, who arrived in Virginia in 1718.
