Hi Jodie,
Starrett Dobbins & Rhoda Hughes were my 5th great grandparents. I have a few of their children as Catherine (married Benjamin Smith), Rebecca (married Bradford Hughes), Rhoda (married Toliver Hughes & Wren Uriah "Rial" Hughes) and Nancy Ann (married John Furnash). I'm descended from Rebecca Dobbins & Bradford Hughes who were married ca 1818 in Abbeville County, South Carolina. Bradford died in Burleson County, Texas on May 5, 1840 and Rebecca can be found in Williamson County, Texas in 1850 with three of her sons, Nimrod, James & William.
Rebecca was born June 5, 1801 and died March 4, 1854 and is buried in Lampasas, Lampasas County, Texas in the Cook Cemetery with her son Nimrod and his first wife Mary Francis (maiden name unknown). Rebecca & Bradford's children were Moses (1819-1903), Rhoda Jane (1824-1866), Nimrod (1830-1862), William (1832-), James Edward (1834-1881) and Bradford (1836-), all probably born in Talladega County with the exception of Moses who was born in South Carolina.
