Notes for Benjamin Cobley:
from Devonshire Characters and Strange Events by S. Baring-Gould
Published by The Bodley Head 1908
Quote from Benjamin Robert Haydon in Devonshire Characters ‘ my father ........married a Miss Cobley, daughter of a clergyman who had the living of Ide, near Exeter. He was killed early in life by the fall of a sounding-board on his head while preaching.’
Another quote from Devonshire Characters - ‘A somewhat congenial spirit came to Plymouth and settled into his (Benjamin Haydon’s father’s) house. This was a Mr Cobley, brother of Mrs Haydon, a man fond of society and his bottle, accomplished and so habitually indolent that when he came to see his sister on a six weeks’ visit he never had the energy to remove, got embedded in the family, stayed thirty years and quitted it and life altogether.’
