Narrative:

     Elizabeth Lathrop was born on 26 Jan 1755/56 in Newent, Connecticut, which later became Lisbon.4,5
     Elizabeth married Ebenezer Cobb, son of Gideon Cobb and Abigail Dyer, on 4 Mar 1777 in Newent, Connecticut, with Elisha Lathrop, Esq., the bride's uncle, officiating.6,7
     Elizabeth and Ebenezer settled in Stillwater, Albany Co., New York, after their marriage.
     Elizabeth and Ebenezer moved from Stillwater to Pawlet, Vermont, by 1780, with their daughter, Clarcy.8,9,10 Elizabeth was probably one of the five females listed in the household of her husband, Ebenezer Cobb, in the 1790 Federal Census of Pawlet, Rutland Co., Vermont.11
     Elizabeth and Ebenezer moved to Shelburne, Vermont, before 1800. She was probably the female over age 44 listed in the household of her husband in the 1800 Federal Census of Shelburne, Chittenden Co., Vermont.12
     She was probably the female over age 45 listed in the household of her husband in the 1810 Federal Census of Shelburne, Chittenden Co., Vermont.13 She was probably the female over age 45 listed in the household of her husband in the 1820 Federal Census of Shelburne, Chittenden Co., Vermont.14
     Her husband died on 1 Jul 1826 in Shelburne, Chittenden Co., Vermont.15,16,17
     Elizabeth filed a request 3 Jul 1826 with the Chittenden District Probate Court to appoint their son Ebenezer as administrator for the estate of her late husband, Ebenezer Cobb, signing it with a mark.18
     
Research Note, 25 Feb 2010:
Ruth Hall in Descendants of Governor William Bradford shows Elizabeth died 31 Mar 1807 in Plymouth, Connecticut. But there is a female of the right age his wife in his household in the 1800, 1810, and 1820 censuses, and his widow Elizabeth petitioned the court regarding his estate in 1826. Unless his first wife died and remarried another woman named Elizabeth, Hall would seem to be in error. There is no record of her death in the Shelburne town records, where his is found.19
