There is a lot on the entire Lee Family, including the Cobbs Hall line, in  
the papers of the Society of the Lees of Virginia that are housed in the 
Local  History/Special Collections Department of the Alexandria Public Library 
in  Alexandria, Virginia. This is an excellent library with a lot of 
valuable  material on Northern Virginia and families from the region.
 
I don't know how much the staff could check, but the SLV collection is  
quite extensive with several dozen manuscript boxes of material. There  ix a 
finding aid in the library. The collection is not, however,  indexed, so 
research in it takes quite a bit of time despite the useful finding  aid they 
have. 
 
Perhaps a local researcher could dig in the collection for you.
