Can't find George Washington Hobbs in my list of HOBBs, but I do have a direction you can take for finding him:
Joshua HOBBS arrived in Nelson Co., KY about 1786 when Joshua appears on the tax list for that county. His son Eli was there by 1785 and his brother, Joseph was there by 1790.
Joshua's sons, that remained in Kentucky were, Eli (sons, Joshua, William, Samuel -- Samuel being listed in the 1820 census)Ezekiel who was in Bullitt Co., Ky in 1810 (there is some speculation that he migrated to Warren Co., TN; he is listed in an early tax list with his father)Joshua Jr. (don't know the names of his children but it looks like he had some sons and he was in Nelson Co. as late as the 1840 census), John HOBBS who married 1. Cassandra Briscoe and 2. Eleanor Abell (he is possibly the John listed next to a William Hobbs in the 1840 Nelson Co., KY, Nicholas Hobbs who was in Hardin Co., KY by 1830 and Vachel Hobbs (had at least one son named Joshua, possibly more. He ended up in Howard Co., MO)
Joseph HOBBS, brother of Joshua Sr. had the following sons, Thomas M. Hobbs (he m. Urith Owings in Frederick Co., MD; don't know if they had children or if they came to KY); Zachariah (m. Susannah James in Frederick Co., MD; He is listed in the 1789tax list of Nelson Co., KY. Don't know if he had children other then a daughter named Lucy and a son Samuel who m. Lucy Sutherland) and Nathan Hobbs (listed in the 1820 census but couldn't read any of it except that there was one female 16-25 in the household.)
