Vice President of theN ational Historical Society Member Virginia Historical Society The request that I prepare an article on the subject of theM ingo Indians in connection with the proposal to build a monument or marker to this tribe of the wild man to be located on the Huttonsville and Marlinton Pike near the mouth of Mingo Run, in Mingo district of this county, and near the old Indian village site, has been complied with and here it is well to state that it is with difficulty that actual facts concerning any Indian tribe are obtained for any long period of years, and when a period of a few centuries are to be covered it means that most of the information is traditional. The Indian village site atM ingo has been regarded as the habitat of this tribe, but it is with no certainty that this is at all correct, but on the other hand it would appear that this village was the abode of some other tribe, for we have no account which would make this aM ingo home, and for the reason that theM ingoes were on the upper waters of theS usquehanna river in Pennsylvania and New York even before the founding of Jamestown, and from that date or little later, made a settlement on the waters of theO hio and still later further west. That there was a village once occupied by Indians atM ingo, I take it that no one doubts; we have it handed down from the ancestors of those now living in that section that such a site existed when settlement was begun soon after the Revolution; not a site of recent occupancy, but long decaying, yet retaining all the marks of such a village, and at this date evidences in way of flints, pottery and Indian relics are to be found on Mingo Run, and we are told that mounds on theM ingo Flats are still to be found, making it certain that in that elevated and beautiful section, overlooking the country for miles and miles, that such a village existed.

William Henry Cobb was born on April 02, 1846 in Marion, Massachusetts, United States. He was the descendant of Massachusetts Puritan and Pilgrim ancestors, and the son and grandson of Congregational clergymen. His parents were Reverend Leander and Julia Ann (Scribner) Cobb.
William received his early education in Marion, Massachusetts, but completed his preparation for college at Rochester Academy in Rochester, Massachusetts. He graduated from Amherst in 1867. After teaching for two years in Wilmington, Delaware, he studied at Princeton Theological Seminary, 1869-1870, and graduated at Andover in 1872.
Cobb was pastor of Congregational churches at Chil- tonville, Massachusetts, 1872-1876; Medfield, Massachusetts, 1876-1878; Uxbridge, Massachusetts, 1878-1887. From 1887 to his death he was librarian of the Congregational Library in Boston. Cobb was master of many languages including Hebrew, which was his specialty. As an Old Testament scholar he had an international standing, his especial field being the book of Isaiah, upon which he left an unfinished work at the time of his death.
He was an editor of the Journal of Biblical Literature, 1889-1915. His publications include: A Criticism of Systems of Hebrew Metre (1905); The Meaning of Christian Unity (1915) and Seven Centuries Illustrated in the Congregational Library (1921). He also published many articles in the Bibliotheca Sacra and the Journal of Biblical Literature, as well as the article “Metre in the Bible, ” in the Jewish Encyclopedia.
William Henry Cobb was remembered as an authority on the history of Congregationalism and an indefatigable collector of the literature of the Puritan and Pilgrim movements, in which department the Congregational Library became under his headship one of the most complete collections in existence. As an author, he was noted for his work "A Criticism of Systems of Hebrew Metre "(1905) which was awarded a prize by Manchester College.

Cobb was a member of the Society of Biblical Literature and Exegesis, 1890-1915, and its recording secretary for the same period. On his retirement he declined an election to the presidency of the society.
Cobb was slight in stature, below the medium height, with reddish hair and beard which became gray in his latter years. His portrait painted toward the close of his life may be seen in the Congregational Library. His memory was remarkable, and his habits were those of the methodical and painstaking scholar. He was mild and modest in demeanor, had a fine sense of humor, and qualities that secured for him warm and enduring friendships.
On October 30, 1872, Cobb married Emily W. Wiggins of Philadelphia, who survived him with two sons and two daughters.
