Denver Ragland has completed the final version of Bibb and Perry County Hobsons descended from Samuel Hobson, Quaker, who came to Al. in the 1800s. This Samuel was descended from George Hobson, a Quaker from Yorkshire, England. Some of the related families are: Bamberg, Hoggle, Mitchell, Latner, Morrison, Caudle, Murphy, McClain/McLain, Mathews, Toomey, Shows, Colburn and more. As Denver is in poor health, he wishes to dispose of the books before "cold and rainy weather." He tells me he is 75. If you want to order a book, you will have to contact Denver directly at 136 Mini Bike Trail, West Blocton, Al. 35184. The cost is $34.50 plus shipping for first book at $4.00 each, $3.00 for each additional book (I presume he means ordered and shipped at the same time). The book will be available October 24,, 2002. He doesn't say how many he has ordered but I do know he is only charging publishing cost as he has no desire to profit from this huge undertaking. First come, first served, he said. DJ
