Dobbins in Georgia, 1800s

Following is what I have in my database for William Dobbins, Jane Waddell, and their children.
Modified Register for William Dobbins
First Generation
1. William Dobbins was born about 1755 in (Probably) North Carolina. He died in 1796 in Greene County, Georgia.
William is believed to have been the son of William Dobbins and Jane Coachman by some Dobbins researchers.
The only census that William is known to be listed in is the reconstructed 1790 federal census for Georgia, so we have no knowledge of when and where hewas born. Based on the birth years of his children, we can reasonably estimate that he was born sometime during the decade 1751-1760. He probably was born in or near Rowen County, North Carolina. He is believed to have emigrated from North Carolina to South Carolina to Greene County, Georgia.
William is listed in the 1789 tax list for Greene County (along with Thomas Stanley and William Waddell.) Wm. Dubbin was a Grand Juror in 1795. William died intestate in 1796 and his estate was administered by Dr. James Nisbett, Jonathan Waddell, and relict Jane Dobbins. ("Reconstructed 1790 Census Of Georgia")
William married Jane Waddell, daughter of William Waddell and Sarah Morrow, about 1780. Jane was born in 1762 in (Reportedly) Ireland. She died in 1819 in (Reportedly) South Carolina.
Jane's given name is known from the entry for William Dobbins in Green County Will Book A. It is believed that her maiden name was Waddell. Jonathan Waddell was a co-administrator of William Dobbins' estate, and Jane Waddell and Moses Waddell were Dobbins family names for several generations.
Linda Dobbin-Edmonson stated in Waddell GenForum posts that Jane was born in Ireland in 1762, died in South Carolina in 1819, and was the daughter of William Waddell and Sarah Morrow and the sister of Dr. Moses Waddell. William Waddell is listed in the 1789 Greene County, Georgia tax list with William Dobbins. Jonathon Waddell was one of the administrators of William Dobbins' estate, which probably means that Jonathon was also a sibling of Jane's. Jane may also have been kin to Hugh Waddell who was a prominent colonial military leader in Rowan County. His biography is "Waddell, H:A Colonial Officer."
William and Jane had the following children:
2 M i. John M. Dobbins was born about 1780 in South Carolina or Georgia. He died about 1826 in Sumpter County, Georgia.
John's household consisted of himself, his wife, one male child, and three female children in 1820 Clarke County, Georgia.
John married (1) Asenith Sayer on Nov 10 1807 in Clarke County, Georgia. Asenith died about 1825 in Henry County, Georgia.
John also married (2) Anny Rowan on Sep 24 1826 in Henry County, Georgia.
3 M ii. Moses Waddell Dobbins was born about 1782 in South Carolina or Georgia. He
died on May 9 1862 in Walton County, Georgia.
Moses' household consisted of himself, his wife, eight male children, 2 female children, and six slaves in 1820 Clarke County, Georgia.
Moses married (1) Edith Smith on Dec 22 1812 in Clarke County, Georgia. Edith was born in 1792 in Athens, Clarke, Georgia. She died on Aug 21 1848.
Moses also married (2) Sarah Ann Seay.
4 M iii. William C. Dobbins was born on May 5 1786 in Georgia. He died on Jan 19 1861 in Randolph County, Alabama.
William is listed in the 1820 and 1830 Clarke County, Georgia census, the 1840 Newton County, Georgia census, and the 1850 Heard County, Georgia census. His 1820 household consisted of himself, Nancy, four male children (all under 10), two female children (one 10-15 and one under 10), and one slave. The 10-15 year old female was not one of his known children. His 1830 household consisted of himself, Nancy, six male children (two 15-19, two 10-14, and two under 5), three female children (one 15-19,one 5-9, and one under 5), and one slave, a male child. His 1840 household consisted of himself, Nancy, seven males (two 20-29, one 15-19, one 10-14, two 5-9, and one under 5), four females (one 20-29, one 10-14, one 5-9, and one under 5), and two slaves, an adult male and an adult female. One of the 20-29 males, the 20-29 female, one of the 5-9 males, and the under 5 female were not his minor children and possibly comprised the family of one of his married adult children. Starting in 1850, all household members were named in the census. Moses, with his family, Nancy, Mary, John, and Joseph still lived at home. James, and his family, lived next door to William.
William married Nancy Stanley, daughter of Ezekiel Stanley Sr. and Albinia Wilkinson, on Feb 7 1809 in Clarke County, Georgia. Nancy was born on Feb 14 1794 in Covington, Newton, Georgia. She died BET 1860/1870 in Randolph County, Alabama.
