James was the young son of Rev. Sylvanus Cobb and Eunice Hale Waite.
Following is from page 18 of Rev. Sylvanus Cobb's Autobiography:
"James Arthur, in East Boston, Dec. 22, 1842. He came to us, a beautiful and perfect child, as an unexpected gift from Heaven. He was remarkable, as he advanced, for common sense, scholarship, and the highest virtues, including those of Christian faith and piety. When he had passed his eighth year there was discovered a degree of enlargement of the heart. The disease grew upon him, and, after considerable suffering with wonderful patience, and even cheerfulness of heavenly hope, he passed sweetly away in the morning of Feb. 24, 1852, aged 9 years and 2 months. An interesting memoir of him, written by his mother, was published in book form soon after his departure."
