HOBBS/DOOLY, Ga, Ala, Tx 1820-1880??? by JIM Thompaon
Have seen postings over the years about thoughts of Mary Hobbs who married John Dooly (b. 1820 Tenn.)I have probably 10-15 Mary Hobbs in my data base.Have NOT been able to confirm but I believe this is MARY HOBBS, b.1828 Monroe Co., Ga.,daughter of George Hobbs (b. about 1782 NC, d. about 1860-1869Talladega Co., Ala)and Maryb. abt. 1784 era NC and apparently died before 1860 Census Monroe Co., GA.
Wm. H. "Billy" Hobbs' son, Solomon Simeon Hobbs, married Mary Haynes Hobbs.Simeon was killed in the CSA Battle of Fredericksburg, Va. so that Mary Hobbs in the Census is a widow.She moved on with son, Gus, to Coryell Co., Texas.
Wm. H. "Billy" Hobbs" first daughter, Martha, married about age 15 to WGT Garrett, accountant in Upsom Co., GA, then "caretaker" in Monroe Co., Ga.census
Please let me know if you have more information on the subject.Jeannine Hobbs Richards
