I have no idea if there is a relation to your ancestor but... I am descended from James Dobbins: , born March 7 1751 (or 1753) in PA, he moved to Georgia with his father (I don't have a name) around 1763 to 1766 or so and worked as a ship's carpenter. He enlisted in the Revolutionary War on 4/15/1779 and served the duration under a Col. Pickney (I have no idea what Regiment or anything) supposedly in South Carolina. He was involved in the sieges of Savannah and Charlestown. James had an unknown brother who died in the war.
If you go over to the Dobbins surname forum you may find more info.
