Archibald Cosby and Melinda Troutman Family Birth and Death Years
I have created a table of the data for reference. It can be found on the "Album" tabs for Archibald Cosby and Malinda Troutman. This table was used to resolve various Birth and Death inconsistencies.
My analysis includes review the following documents: 1820 to 1910 Census, Find A Grave tombstone photos/records, Obituaries, and Will/Probate documents. Many of the documents are not consistent. For example, the 1850/1870/1880/1910 Census records for Joseph A Cosby shows his birth year ranging from 1834 to 1848. Another example is for Mary Cosby as the 1850 Census shows her being born in 1838 which is two years after her father (Archibald) has died. James H Cosby is shown to be born between 1833 and 1844 depending on which Census record is used.
It appears that Malinda Cosby (nee Troutman) never remarried after her husband, Archibald, died. This is evidenced by her Will/Probate documents showing her as "Malinda Cosby" with no hint of a second husband. Assuming this is the case, then her children's birth years must be constrained by the Jun 18, 1835 death of Archibald. This suggests that all the children must have been born before March 1836.
Based on analyzing various historical records, I am concluding that the following Cosby/Troutman family members have the following Birth/Death years.
Archibald Cosby: July 29, 1792 -> June 18, 1835
Malinda Troutman: About 1798 -> September 1854

Note:Excerpt from the biography of her brother George Elley: "...In 1815, he lost his eldest sister, which greatly aroused his convictions of danger, but yet he was without a remedy...."
Note:War of 1812 between the Americans and the British. The Creek (or Red Stick) War in Alabama had different origins, but it coincided with the war of 1812, and the U.S. treated it as a part of the larger war, with Jackson and his forces also in charge of defeating the Creeks - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_of_1812

Archibald Cosby Obituary and Family Listing
The Madison Republican & Banner
18 June 1835
CHOLERA-- It becomes our painful duty today to announce the existence and progress of the Cholera in Madison. It made the appearance on Wednesday last, when Mr. and Mrs. Meek, two of our oldest citizens, were attacked; they died on Thursday. On Friday, Mrs. --- Black was attacked, and died on Saturday. On Saturday, John Castlen was attacked, and died in about eight hours. No cases occurred on Sunday and Monday, and we flattered overselves that this terrible disease had ceased its ravages. But on Monday night it appeared in a more malignant form that it had ever visited us before. No deaths occurred until Tuesday morning, since which time, up to 7 o'clock Wednesday morning, there have been 14 deaths. The following, we believe is a correct list of those who have died since its first appearance:
On Thursday, Mr. and Mrs. Meek
" Saturday, John Castlen, Mrs. Black

"Cynthia Troutman was d/o Peter Troutman and second wife Catharine Spurgeon. Cynthia m1 Charles DePauw, 15 Apr. 1823 in Bartholomew Co. Indiana. DePauw died 11 Oct. 1823, and Cynthia m2 Charles J. Cosby, 13 Dec. 1824 in Jefferson Co. Indiana. She had one child by DePauw, an infant that died and was buried with the father.
Charles and "Syntha" Cosby are documented as heirs of Peter Troutman on Bartholomew Co. deed record F, p. 565, in conveyance of her 1/16 of Peter's lands; on same document is Cynthia's sister, Malinda Cosby, also of Jefferson Co. (another 1/16th). Malinda Troutman m. Archibald Cosby, 22 Aug. 1818 (where?) Archibald was brother to Charles Janson Cosby."
Archibald Cosby and Melinda Troutman Family Birth and Death Years
I have created a table of the data for reference. It can be found on the "Album" tabs for Archibald Cosby and Malinda Troutman. This table was used to resolve various Birth and Death inconsistencies.
My analysis includes review the following documents: 1820 to 1910 Census, Find A Grave tombstone photos/records, Obituaries, and Will/Probate documents. Many of the documents are not consistent. For example, the 1850/1870/1880/1910 Census records for Joseph A Cosby shows his birth year ranging from 1834 to 1848. Another example is for Mary Cosby as the 1850 Census shows her being born in 1838 which is two years after her father (Archibald) has died. James H Cosby is shown to be born between 1833 and 1844 depending on which Census record is used.
It appears that Malinda Cosby (nee Troutman) never remarried after her husband, Archibald, died. This is evidenced by her Will/Probate documents showing her as "Malinda Cosby" with no hint of a second husband. Assuming this is the case, then her children's birth years must be constrained by the Jun 18, 1835 death of Archibald. This suggests that all the children must have been born before March 1836.
Based on analyzing various historical records, I am concluding that the following Cosby/Troutman family members have the following Birth/Death years.
Archibald Cosby: July 29, 1792 -> June 18, 1835
Malinda Troutman: About 1798 -> September 1854
William Cosby: 1818 -> October 25, 1854
Infant Daughter Cosby: Between 1820/1825 -> Deceased
Infant Son Cosby: Between 1820/1825 -> Deceased
Eliza Ann Cosby: May 31, 1826 -> June 15, 1841
Sarah Cosby: About 1827 -> Deceased
Martha Cosby: 1828 -> June 1825
Mary Frances W Cosby: July 30, 1833 -> April 30, 1835
James H Cosby: August 1833 -> Deceased
Malinda Cosby: About 1834 -> Deceased
John Robert Cosby: About 1835 -> February 13, 1895
Joseph A Cosby: About 1835 -> May 1920

CHOLERA-- It becomes our painful duty today to announce the existence and progress of the Cholera in Madison. It made the appearance on Wednesday last, when Mr. and Mrs. Meek, two of our oldest citizens, were attacked; they died on Thursday. On Friday, Mrs. --- Black was attacked, and died on Saturday. On Saturday, John Castlen was attacked, and died in about eight hours. No cases occurred on Sunday and Monday, and we flattered overselves that this terrible disease had ceased its ravages. But on Monday night it appeared in a more malignant form that it had ever visited us before. No deaths occurred until Tuesday morning, since which time, up to 7 o'clock Wednesday morning, there have been 14 deaths. The following, we believe is a correct list of those who have died since its first appearance:
On Thursday, Mr. and Mrs. Meek
" Saturday, John Castlen, Mrs. Black
" Tuesday, up to seven o'clock Wednesday morning, Mr. (Wm.) White, Archibald Causby, and daughter , Samuel Wells, Mrs. Richards, Miss Shannon, James H. Wallace, two children of John Coffman's, Wm.
