  Belle was previously married (on 23 Apr 1884) to James Henry "J.H." Cobb, son of John-Neff &Lizzie(Tuttle)Cobb, and gs/o Thomas&Hannah(Selfs)Cobb. Samuel's father, Radford Cobb, is a brother to J.H.'s grandfather, Thomas Cobb; therefore, Samuel and J.H. are 2nd cousins-once removed. Belle and J.H. had a son, Henry W. Cobb, who apparently was raised with her children by Samuel.
