Narrative:

Betsey Cobb was born on 19 Mar 1822 in Pawlet, VermontG.4,5,6
     She was probably the female age 5 to 10 listed in the household of her father, Joshua D. Cobb, in the 1830 Federal Census of Pawlet, Rutland Co., VermontG.13 She was probably the female age 15 to 20 listed in the household of her father in the 1840 Federal Census of Pawlet, Rutland Co., VermontG.14
     Betsey married Dr. Warren Bell Sargent, son of Dr. John Sargent and Delight Bell, on 5 Sep 1843 in Pawlet, VermontG.7,8,9
     Betsey and Warren appeared on the 1850 Federal Census of Pawlet, Rutland Co., VermontG, enumerated 26 Oct 1850, reporting real estate valued at $4,500. Their daughter Helen was listed as living with them, as was Derrick Bowman, a 22-year-old laborer from Canada.15 They appeared on the 1860 Federal Census of Pawlet, Rutland Co., VermontG, enumerated 17 Aug 1860, reporting real estate valued at $4,500 and personal estate of $2,500. Their daughter Helen was listed as living with them, as was Narcisse Bassette, age 19, apparently a farm worker.16
     Betsey and Warren appeared on the 1870 Federal Census of Pawlet, Rutland Co., VermontG, enumerated 1 Aug 1870, reporting real estate valued at $4,000 and personal estate of $1,000. Their daughter Helen was listed as living with them.17 They appeared on the 1880 Federal Census of Pawlet, Rutland Co., Vermont G, enumerated 15 Jun 1880. Narcisse Bassette, a 45-year-old farm laborer, was listed as living with them.18
     Her husband died on 28 Jun 1891 in Pawlet, VermontG.19,20
     Betsey appeared on the 1900 Federal Census of Pawlet, Rutland Co., Vermont G, enumerated 1 Jun 1900, listed as a member of the household of Narcisse Bassett, a farmer who seems to have long been a worker on her late husband's farm. Carrie Price, a servant, is also listed in the home. The listing is confusing however, as he is shown as the owner of a farm, but she is shown as owner of her home, and her relationship to him was left blank. It seems most likely he had taken over the farm while she remained in her home.21
     Betsey died on 6 Jun 1908 in Pawlet, VermontG, at age 86.10,4,11 She was buried Mettowee Valley Cemetery, now known as the Old Pawlet Cemetery, Pawlet, Vermont G.12
