The Charlotte News
23 Jan 1891

Mr. Collier Cobb, a well known and scholarly North Carolinian now at Harvard 
is to be married next Tuesday to Miss Battle of Wadesboro, a young lady of one 
of the best known families in this State.

Additional information contributed by Sandra Rasberry: 

I have her as Mary Lindsey Battle, m. 1891. By 1904 he married Lucy Plummer 
Battle, and in 1910 he married Mary Knox Gatlin. There is a Collier Cobb II 
and Collier Cobb III among the decendents of Collier Cobb. He traveled a lot as 
a photographer and geologist and was a professor at Chapel Hill. He and several 
wives are buried there on the campus. 

Collier photographed portraits of some ancestors, Joseph Green, Jack Cobb and 
an unidentified one that I’m wondering might be Probert Collier. The same 
portrait appears to be on the wall in a picture of the old "Dialectic Society" 
building at Chapel Hill. He is a great grand of my Probert Collier, son of 
Needham Bryan Cobb and Martha Louisa. Needham Bryan Cobb was the son of William 
Donnell and Ann Spicer Collier Cobb.
