Kay-Perhaps we have found a link.The Hiram and Elizabeth Garrett Hobbs info I posted is from a Bible record my father's sister gave me.
I recently sent for my grandfather's (William Thomas Hobbs) SSDI record.It lists his birth place as Clay Co Tx and mother's name as Sara Caroline, father as Franklin Pierce Hobbs.My aunt verifies that the signature is her father's. She knows of no Clay co connections. I know Sara died when William Thomas (Bill) Hobbs was very young and that Franklin remarried and had more children.This would have been after 1887.My aunt also thinks Bill may have had an older brother. Maybe there were more than the 2 known marriages for Franklin.
I have a 1910 census listing for Bill, wife Sarah Ellen, Gladys, and William in Caddo Co OK.That William was my father.Could your grandfather Joe Ira be my grandfather's (Bill) older brother?My aunt thought perhaps his name was Frank but wasn't sure.
Unless Bill's mother's surname was Caroline I still don't know what it is. I think I've seen some Indian names anglisized to sound like Caroline. Also a Jones Robertson Hobbs family was living in Clay Co in 1900 census.Don't know where or if they fit into my Hobbs family.
I'm currently trying to think of ways to find the identity of Bill's mother (Sara Caroline) and his brother and half siblings.
I did write a letter to someone I believed to be a decendent of Dorah Hobbs (Franklin's sister) but have not received a reply.
My aunt is pretty sure her grandfather (Franklin P.) died in Kaufman or Tarrant Co Tx (The Dallas Fort Worth area).
You may email me personally at [email protected] if you wish. Great to get a response!
