DOBKINS. So far, I have not been able to positively identify his parents, even though I have gathered a great deal of information from various sources and references. Several years ago, I compiled basic information into EARLY DOBKINS OCCURRENCES-- http://home.rmci.net/dyingst/earlydob.htm. The original compilation arranged the entries by locality; that is, State and/or Country. Now, I have provided an additional list ordered by Name. My intent here is to share the occurrences and sources for the benefit of DOBKINS researchers; not to make any interpretations or inferences about possible or probable family relationships. I have omitted most occurrences after Thomas moved to MO in 1817 as I am principally interested in tracking down his ancestors in TN and VA and, also, in Great Britain where I think the family line originated. I would appreciate hearing from anyone that might have additional information up to and during the time period covered in the listing that might assist me and others in our research. Donovan
