HOBBS FORK, Mingo Co WV or Martin Co KY?????
I found a "Hobbs Fork" situated on the Ky/WV county lines.
It could be in Martin Co Ky or Mingo Co WV, but the topographical maps have it in Martin Co Ky, just wondering if the Mingo Co WV Hobbs may have farmed this land early 1800's.My Hobbs family lived in Floyd/Breathitt counties 1830-1840 and they may have farmed this land, so I am trying to find out if anyone has information as to who this land belonged to in the early 1800's. My Hobbs family was in Logan Co 1840 and 1844 entered a land entry for land in the Grundy Va area and named it HOBBS BRANCH, still called that today.
I have never found a connection to the Mingo Co Hobbs family and mine.Please contact me if you know anything about HOBBS FORK.
