David Cobb (slave trader)

David Cobb (b. between 1776 and 1794 – d. September 17, 1826) was an early 19th-century American slave trader and tobacco merchant who worked in Lexington and lived in central Kentucky. He was killed, along with Edward Stone, Howard Stone and two others, in the 1826 Ohio River slave revolt, by slaves they were transporting south for resale. According to Benjamin Lundy's Genius of Universal Emancipation the slaves had "been brought it is said from Maryland."
