Ned Cobb
Cobb was the fourth of more than twenty children of a father who had been a slave. (The children had at least three mothers and some were illegitimate.) The father had been emotionally and physically scarred by his experiences, and responded to his emotional and financial frustrations by beating and berating his wives, children, and others he loved.
