Is anyone researching any of these people? I'm particularly interested in John Hobbs and his parents as well as his son MARTIN. 1-- John HOBBS (1806-1897) ,,North Carolina sp-Hannah OVERMAN (1821-1903) Salem,Washington County,Indiana 2-- Ruth HOBBS (1838- ) ,Washington County,Indiana sp-Bart STANLEY (1835- ) 2-- Elisha HOBBS [III] (1840-1912) ,Washington County,Indiana sp-Martha STANLEY (1838-1912) ,,Indiana 2-- Benjamin HOBBS [II] (1843- ) ,,Indiana sp-Lulicia MNU (1843- ) 2-- Abigail HOBBS (1845-1920) ,,Indiana sp-Jacob Milton PURLEE (1845-1932) ,,Indiana 2-- Mary Ellen HOBBS (1851- ) ,,Indiana 2-- Tyson HOBBS (1854- ) ,,Indiana sp-Caddie DENNY (1855- ) 2-- Louisa J.

John was 72 and Hannah 62 on that census with John's parents shown a born NC NC. Hannah was a part of the Quaker Blue River MM in Salem, but was dismissed. She comes from a long line of Quakers: Macy, Coffin, Starbuck, Gardner, as well as Overman, Newby etc. I'm interested in finding John Hobb's parents, more about Martin Hobbs, and why a man, in his 60-70s with two of his younger children and wife, would go all that way from Salem Washington County, IN to Rover, Yell County, AR. It couldn't have been easy in the 1870-80s. And then why would they return to IN to die and be buried in Highland Cemetery there.

Kay, Up above Yell County, North of it and across the Arkansas River, is and was Madison County, Arkansas where OLD JOB HOBBS....was listed in the census with my great great grandparents and he was age 102. He was A Rev. War pensioner and I have a photocopy of his original file, he left home so many many years before this pension was filed his memory of his siblings was dim, but, the packet is really good.......I believe it lists all his brothers and sisters and possibly his parents. My great great grandparents wanted a fee for keeping him. I don't remember where I got that fact, I read it some years ago, so I am assuming that there is something in that file referring to that fact. I also forget what census...I am going to say about 1860 it could be earlier or later....I have not worked this line in years! My great great grandparents were Nathan Columbus Driver and wife Sarah (unknown)(Russell or Keck). I think I can find that old pension file and will see who he lists in it. For the Second FIND, I have three early newspaper abstracts books I did out of Dardanelle Newspapers that survived for only an 8 year period, Jan 1875-Dec. 1882 and guess what.. there is mention of your Hobbs in the news. Independent Arkansian June 20, 1879 Our good friends, Elder Chas. A. Stroud and J.C. Albright, of Rover, accompanied by Messrs. Sidney Doyle, Churchill Greer and TYSON HOBBS, of about Rover, were in town on Tuesday. Pg. 3, Col. 3 (Stroud was one of the family surnames up in Madison Co., ARk. with my DRIVER family) That was from the 1875-1879 book. Then in the 1880 I show articles about John Hobbs, J.M. Hobbs and again for Tyson Hobbs. In the 1881 book there is one article about James Hobbs. I will send these to you private email as they may be lengthy...don't know yet.
