Kinston native Moses Cobb becomes Brooklyn’s second Black officer
The Sun Journal notes Moses Cobb, born in Kinston in 1856 to a free family, became Brooklyn’s second Black police officer and the first to retire. He married Samuel Battle’s sister, Sophia Battle Cobb, and after a long career he returned to die and be buried in Kinston. Cobb moved from the Brooklyn docks to the police force after scoring second on the civil service exam, behind Nick Callan, amid White officer pushback in 1892.
