Melodee, Based on the age of William J. Dobbs in 1880 census (age 6), the only William Dobbs I came up with on 1900 census that's close to this age is the following, but birthplace is not given as Kentucky. Name: Wm Dobbs Age in 1910: 36 Estimated Birth Year: 1873 Birthplace: Illinois Home in 1910: 17-WD ST LOUIS, ST LOUIS, Missouri Race: White Gender: Male Series: T624 Roll: 819 Part: 2 Page: 25A Year: 1910 If you think that's him, let me know and I'll send you a copy of actual census sheet. There's one William J. Dobbs listed in 1910 and he lives in Cook County, IL, but his estimated birth date is 1855. Other than the above I can't seem to locate a William Dobbs who fits profile of being born about 1874 and born in Kentucky. I only found one listing in Crawford County Cemetery book and that was for a William T. Dobb, son of W. T. & M. L. died Nov. 14, 1880 age 25 years. He's buried in Pleasant Point Cemetery, Crawford County. By the way, I found another history of Keysville here which contains more names and detail than the one I previously sent you: http://searches.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/ifetch2?/u1/data/mo+index+303163941842+F Bettye > hello list- i am wondeing if any one has access to a county historybook > and > would check if William J Dobbs, son of Rev George Washington Dobbs. he > was > born in Kentucky ( 1874) was :ast seen in the 1880 census, Neoga, > Cumberland IL. > i am hoping to :ocate him in the 1900. 1910. 1920 and possibly in the > 1930. > thanks for any help.
