He was what we picture the type of puritan, devoted to the church very completely.
From (Barnstable Families, Otis) - Elder Cobb was not a man of brillant talents. He was a useful man and an exemplary Christian. With perhaps one exception his life was a living illustration of his political and religious opinions. When in 1657, mainly through the influence of men in the Massachusetts colony, a spirit of intolerance spread through the Plymouth Colony, and laws were enacted that an enlightened common sense condems, and which were in violation of the principles of religious liberty which the fathers had held sacred. Elder Cobb was one of the deputies to the General Court and there is no evidence to show that he did not approve of their enactment. In so doing, he violated principles which he had long cherished and held sacred. It would have been better for his reputation had he, like his friends Smith, Cudworth and Robinson and nearly all the "first comers" then living, protested against these intolerant measures, and like them retired to private life with clear consciences and an unspotted reputation.
Four years were sufficient to sweep away every vestige of the ganatical and intolerant spirit which had spread over the Old Colony. How could it be otherwise? How could men who had themselves suffered persecution, imprisonment and stripes for conscience sake, and who had through life stoutly maintained that God alone was the judge of men's consciences, how could they, when the excirement had passed away, believe it right to persecute Baptists and Quakers and wrong to persecute Puritans? The absurdity of such a course forced itself upon the mnds of such men as Elder Cobb and soon wrought a complete change in public opinion. He moved in 1639 to Barnstable, Barnstable, MA, USA. He was elected in 1644. In the government of his town and Colony, Henry Cobb took a modest, yey not unimportant part. For many years he represented Barnstable at the General Court at Plymouth.

1644 - he was associated with Anthony Annable and Henry Bourne
1645 - with Thomas Hinkley, who afterwards became his brother-in-law and governor of the Colony
1646 - fined for non-apperance at the Court "Defects in Apparence this Court by the Matrates and Comittees, Henry Cobb v j d"
1647 - with Anythony Annable
1652 - with Nathaniel Bacon
1659 to 1662 - Deputy
1664 - Officer of Excise

From the above we can see that he occupied an honorable position as one of the Colony's lawmakers. He was also for many years of the the three Selectmen of the town of Barnstable. He also served many times on "the Grand Enquist" as a juror. There can be no question that he was a man of standing and importance, valued and respected by his associates. He was at Barnstable, Barnstable, MA, USA. Tavernkeeper.
Licensed to draw wine. He married Sarah Hinkley, daughter of Samuel Hinkley and Sarah Soole, on 12 December 1649 at Barnstable, Barnstable, MA, USA.
