CHIEF BENGE & VINCENT HOBBS Jr.- RELATED ???
There are several write-ups about the Killing of Chief Benge by Vincent Hobbs Jr. back iin 1794, but either there was a mis-print or I might have read it wrong, but did they state the he killed his half brother ? If that's true, then
wouldn't that be like a brother-in-law, & then Vincent would have been married to a Cherokee & not just his
Rifle as many have stated ! Perhaps the family wouldn't acknowledge him being married to a Cherokee, & made
up the story that he only was married to his Rifle ! I'm a Hobbs, the 3rd. Great Grand-daughterof Christopher Hobbs who was born in 1776, & with Vincent iin many Court Records, & I believe that his Father was Vincent !
We have Cherokee Blood running in the veins of our Line of Hobbs, & Proud of it, & sure would like to know if
they were Half Brothers, then Christopher stands a good chance of beiing the Son of Vincent !
I'd appreciate any help !!!
Thank You !
