Ms Cardiel,
Thanks as rescuing photos for a family line can be a great gift to families
involved (if found). I had previously purchased a photo of a Cobb family
(husband & wife) from a neighboring town as my research, done well before
the find, found no descendants living and have only a common ancestor many,
many generations past. Rather than have the photo end up in another antiques
store (or yard sale), it is part of that family branch. Perhaps someday,
but possibly not, there will be found a connection on a female descendant
line (many generations down) to pass it on (if wanted, given the little
linkage).
In regard to the Barnstable line family, Gardner Cobb, son of Nathaniel
Bryant Cobb & Mary J. Gardner, was deceased in 1967 and was single per
censuses, there is no descendant on his side. His father Nathaniel Bryant
Cobb had children that married but no surviving descendants known from the
male line past the early 1900s except Gardner Cobb. Have no information yet
on descendants of Daniel Bryant Bliss Cobb (brother of Nathaniel Bryant
Cobb), but he died a few years after marriage in 1851. Another brother of
Nathaniel Bryant Cobb had daughters and no male descendant line. There may
be descendants linked down from the female children of Nathaniel Bryant Cobb
as that is incomplete. No children found from first marriage, so there
appear to be no living or known descendants connected to Nathaniel Bryant
Cobb.
I would appreciate a scan of the photograph (email below) to attach to his
record, although not a descendant and none found from him.

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.
Census records provide the following information:

Shelley,
How nice of you to try to find a relative.
Nathan Bryant Cobb was a descendant of the emigrant Henry "the Elder"
Cobb, the earliest known ancestor of the "Barnstable Cobbs" (ca. 1605 -
1679) by his son James, according to the Cobb & Cobbs website.
Are there any known descendants of James's line? It doesn't look like
any participate in the Cobb DNA study.
