There is some confusion regarding Leary (Larry) Hobbs and Unity Clementine Scarborough who were married December 23, 1858 in Laurens County. This was Larry's first marriage--he was never married to Elizabeth Nobles. This Larry is the son of J. Larry Hobbs. According to his headstone, he was born Dec 3, 1833 and died Dec 9, 1911. The Larry Hobbs that married Elizabeth Nobles was the son of Bolling Hobbs, one of J. Larry Hobbs' brothers. This Larry Hobbs was born in 1830, died in 1858. He married Elizabeth Nobles June 6, 1850 in Laurens County. In "Hobbs and Related Families", Volume 1, Ralph Hobbs has some erroneous information regarding these two Hobbs. I have thoroughly researched these two Larry Hobbs and provided Ralph with my findings. He agreed that the information regarding the same Larry Hobbs marrying first Elizabeth Nobles and then Unity Clementine Scarborough was incorrect. John

Thanks to all who sent information on Larry Hobbs and Unity Scarbrough. I have removed Eliza Nobles as his first wife. This was an error on my part due to the marriage records, not realizing another Hobbs had a child Larry also.
