Ms Rowe,
Thank you but I have had the information on this family line and many descendants of Samuel Cobb who had married Silence Barney.
I inquired whether there was a connection of Samuel Cobb (son of Tisdale Cobb) who married Emily Floyd (no data from marriage) was the same as the Samuel Cobb of Vermont who married Emeline Stockwell or connected somewhere else.
I know that is unlikely Emily Floyd was the same as Emeline Stockwell. While it is possible she was a 2nd wife and we have one name being a maiden name in a record and the other a married name, as in a 2nd marriage, it is unlikely.
Although, this Samuel Cobb was in the 1870 census in Coventry, Orleans Co., VT where other Taunton-line Cobb lived. Some of Tisdale Cobb's children were born there early in 1800s. That place was also where Samuel Cobb and Silence (Barney) Cobb died.
However, in the 1870 census, Samuel Cobb was aged 69, b. in Vermont (if correct) making his birth not the same as Tisdale's child Samuel, as I have the dates of 5 of his 10 children.
Also, this Samuel Cobb had both parents born in Vermont (1880 census), so that excludes Tisdale Cobb's family. Tisdale Cobb and his wife were both NH born.
There is a gap where he would fit in Sylvester Cobb's children but Sylvester Cobb and his wife were born in Mass.
No son of Richard Cobb & Constant Burt was born in Vermont to be a candidate for a parent of this Samuel Cobb.
He may have been from the Barnstable side but no link found to connect him there yet. The Taunton line connects to Coventry, VT and the Barnstable side does not.
Given that I have only one son (Arthur) of this Samuel Cobb and no names of any of his children yet, there is no trail to look for a DNA connection down the road.
Note he is only one of many unlinked Cobb names.
