Sprout, granddaughter of Joshua Cobb, with notarized statement 5 Dec 1931, Montrose, Pennsylvania, that they were from a Bible in her possession, shows name as Hannah Chittenden Cobb.

  6. Caldwell Co. Marriage Bonds, Book A, John Hallich to Miss Hannah C. Cobb, 8 Sep 1830, registration shows date, as 8th, but return seems to have left the day blank, or perhaps it has faded.
  7. Caldwell Co. Marriage Records, loose papers, license for John Hallick and Miss Hannah C. Cobb, 8 Sep 1830, return shows "on _ day of Sept 1830," omitting the date. Many other records in the county for this period show the ceremony the same day as the license, so I am assuming that in this case.
