Your Hobbs connection is a cousin to my ancestor, William Hobbs and John Hobbs who migrated to Georgia.I have seen the will of the Hobbs you mentioned that married Rachel Cullens.I believe that Rachel married first one Hobbs and when he died, maried his brother(or cousin).Anyway, I am related although distantly.I will look into my geneablogy information as I recognize the name, Ira Hobbs as being one of my.Yes, all of mine settled in points west of the Ocmulgee River and the Chattahoochee River. That means that those counties that you mentioned are right in the middle.My gggrandfather, John Marchant Hobbs who married Nancy Gassett had a plantation west of Butler, Georgia.It was burned, and all farming equiptment destroyed, all livestock stolen or killed by the yankees fanning out causing trouble from the battle for Columbus, Ga.. The federal troops came north on the river to Columbus to destroy the gun, factories that had been built there to supply theConfederacy.If you want a little more on Ira, contact me at my email, and I will respond.
