Posted on: USGenWeb Windham County, Vt Query Forum Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/USA/Vt/Windham/11509 Surname: Cobb, Palmer, Tinkham ------------------------- Pat: I believe the answer was directed by checking the family of Susanna Cobb who married Zurishadia Palmer in Middleboro. That marriage is recorded in Plympton, MA VR and her family in "Mayflower Families, Vol. 3". However her brother Nathan has a birth (10/7/1754) and a death record (9/30/1813) in Plympton. The death record there records he was "of Dover, VT, s. Nathan,/ ...on a visit, bur. in P." Thus Nathan Cobb has to have been the spouse of Sally Palmer, and died back home visiting family there. His sister married Z. Palmer and there is no death record of them in Plympton or area. Nathan had to have moved with or after them to VT. "The History of the Cobb Family", pg. 126, only has his elder brother John recorded. Nathan's parents were Nathan Cobb (10/24/1728 - 8/29/1818) and Abijah Tinkham (3/13/1727-28 - 2/5/1776). Then you go back through three John Cobb generations to reach Henry Cobb of the Barnstable line. I believe that there is strong evidence there that this extends your Nathan Cobb back to elder Henry Cobb. Of the Palmer line, I can't help there.
