Norvell P. Cobb
Norvell P. Cobb (June 18, 1824 – October 8, 1879) was an American Civil War officer, banker and hotelier.
==Early life==
Norvell Cobb was born in Buckingham County, Virginia in 1824 to William Cobb(s) and Sarah 'Sallie' Ann Puryear. He came from a prominent landed and slave-holding family seated in the Buckingham/Albemarle area of Virginia since the early to mid-18th century. Prior to the Civil War, Cobb and his brothers helped develop the town of Maysville (later renamed Buckingham) where he co-founded the Maysville Savings Bank and built the first hotel. Cobb expanded his enterprises by acquiring the Randolph House in Farmville, Virginia. Over time Cobb and his brothers took an ever more active role in politics and daily operation of life in Buckingham and Prince Edward Counties, Virginia. Cobb and his elder brother Watson Benning Cobb oversaw the construction of major roads, delivery of mail, organization of the county finances and wholesale auction and distribution of tobacco from planters in the region. The brothers were also involved in local government including the organization of a slave monitoring system in the post-Nat Turner period. The Cobb family secured a number of licenses and permits to control the distribution of mail into the Southside of Virginia from the Federal government starting in the late-1840s. Cobb's brother Reuben Puryear Cobb served as postmaster of Buckingham County in the years leading up to the Civil War and his niece Mary Ann Carter served as Post Mistress of Prince Edward County, Virginia in the 1890s.
