Charlotte, I knew Oliver Hobbs who is listed below as one of the children of Noah Hobbs & Rosa Hooker. He married 1- Carrie Beatrice Baker and 2- Georgia Unknown. His first wife, Carrie was my cousin, and she died just a couple of years ago at over 90 years old. I, also, knew Georgie Hobbs and visited her in her home over in TN in 1992 or 1993. She's passed away now. Oliver ran the run-down Boone Trail Motel in Pineville where he was a well-known bootlegger. Georgie owned a lot of property in Bell Co, and it's passed down to her sons. At least three of her sons are/have been involved in drug dealing. They are her sons by her first husband who was a Callebs. Crit Callebs served time in the federal pen for being a drug kingpin, and was released a few years ago. He was married to Tim's sister, Cassandra, and they have two children. He and Tim graduated together and were good friends. His younger 1/2 brother, Ashley Hobbs is Oliver and Georgie's son. Ashley was in my class when I went to s! chool in Pineville. He's a good guy. All the Callebses and Ashely are very likeable, but just won't work. Really, they've never had to as a result of their mother's indulgence and saving ways, as well as Oliver making a bunch of money bootlegging. Just about anyone who lived in Bell Co in the '60's and earlier knew Oliver Hobbs. The Boone Trail was not far from my grandparents house. I can see it in my mind now. How interesting to see his lineage. I'd wondered where he fit in. Also, I'm familiar w/ the Wagers family that lived at Big Creek in Clay Co. It's just over the county line from Red Bird. A friend I taught school w/ in Lex's mother was Marie Wagers. Marie's parents were Matt Wagers and Bertha Smith. I've visited in their home at Big Creek, and saw a picture of a Marcum ancestor who was obviously Indian. Now, I'm not sure whether or not the Marcums are on the Wagers or Smith side. Well, I had to comment on those connections! Hope you get some better responses than mine.
