Hobbs and his wife, Eula Childree Hobbs Broome. My grandmother was the sister of Walter C. Hobbs. His wife was my grandfather's neice. I'm looking for information on the Hobbs siblings mentioned in the obituary, especially about their parents and grandparents: > > 1. Walter C. Hobbs (1895 - 1940) > Married Eula Childree (1898 - 1980), resided in Macon Co. > > 2. Annie Belle Hobbs (1893 - 1977) > Married George D. Childree (1881 - 1954), resided in Americus, Sumter Co. My grandparents. > > 3. Willie Hobbs (? - ?) > Resided in Americus, Sumter Co. around 1940; may have moved to Thomaston later. > > 4. Gilbert Hobbs (? - ?) > Resided in Macon, Bibb Co. around 1940. > > There is a Gilbert Hobbs buried at Little Bethel Church Cemetery in Macon Co. but I don't know if this is my great uncle or not. Their father may have been named Charlie Hobbs, but this is a guess (at best). I do know that he was murdered at his place of business, which I think was located in Americus but possibly in Rupert, Taylor Co. > > My father insists that this group of Hobbs had some Cherokee ancestry. My grandmother's photographs leave little room for doubt that there is some Native American heritage in her family. > > Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.. > > > This is an automatically-generated notice. > > <http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ga/Macon?admin> > >
