I've "rescued" an old photograph of Nathan B. COBB which was taken at the
P.
B. Cady Studio in So. Royalton, Vermont. The photograph appears to have
been taken in the 1880's with Nathan likely in his 50's or 60's at the time.
In addition to his name, someone has written "born Strafford, VT. Oct 14
1827" on the back of the photograph.
Based on limited research I was able to gather the following information
regarding Nathan and his family:
Nathan Bryant COBB was b. 14 Oct 1827 in Strafford, VT to parents Daniel
COBB (b. abt 1797 in Hanover, NH) and Marinda BRYANT (b. 28 Feb 1790 in
Templeton, MA). Nathan first married Emily C. CABOT (b. 1843) on 1 Nov
1861. Nathan's second marriage was to Mary Jane "Jennie" GARDNER who he
married on 9 Dec 1873. Nathan and Mary had one child a son Gardner N. COBB.
Nathan died 20 May 1906 in Strafford, VT.
