Scott, don't you think it would be useful to furnish us with some details of this account of John Hobbs's origins?That would make it much more possible to pass on the reliability of the story.
Hobbs is not an Irish name.What was John doing in Ireland?How old was John when he was captured.How did a person who came under these circumstances acquire enough money to buy land?
John's children were born in the 1720s.What was he doing in the meantime?He must have been terribly young when kidnapped.Does the account say how old he was when this happened?
