Take this information with a "grain of salt". Probably just another family story with wishful thinking.
In "The Red House 150th Anniversary 1834-1984" (Published in Jerseyville, IL) the
entry for Dabbs states: "The Dabbs family of Jersey County were the
descendants of a Dobbs family of Antrim, Ireland. The transposing of
hand written records in an early census led to the change in the
spelling of the name. The Dobbs castle is still standing in Antrim,
Ireland. The first "Arthur" Dobbs, one of the four Dobbs brothers,
was commissioned by the Queen of England to be the Governor of a
province in America that is now the state of North Carolina. His
descendants migrated into Kentucky, Missouri and into Jersey County
in 1836." I have no clue if any of this is based in fact.
