Sarah was the daughter of John Mobley, he was born about 1755 inDublin Ct Ga., died about 1835 in Appling County Ga. I know he had sons, one by the name of Soloman, , I didn't follow them, but the Byrds went to Graves County Ky, by 1830/40 and there were Mobleys with them. Soloman Byrd came to Izard County Ar. by 1850 and in 1870 there were Mobley . In the 1870 Izard census Richwoods Twp #20/20: MOBLEY, M. 32 Ky Eliza J. 31 Ky Weeden (Needum?)

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Mobley, Mobly, Moberley, Moseley Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/IhB.2ACI/336.1 Message Board Post: Hi Roberta, I have looked through the indexes for various Bedford County resources (land deeds, wills, bible records, cemetery records, etc.) and do not find any entries for Mobley (or similar spellings) until the 1850s - then it is for an O. H. Mobley. I also checked the Bedford County tax records for 1812 and 1836 with no luck. The closest surname that is in Bedford County is MOSELEY - but even with that, a first glance does not reveal an "Isiah". For 1810, I do not find any listings in TN for Mobley or Moberly. For 1820 Bedford County Census, there are no listings for "Mobley", only "MOSELEY, Caleb" and "MOSELY, James". I did find the following listings: Mobley, Edward, Davidson County, TN Mobly, Allen, Lincoln County, TN Mobley, Susan, Maury County, TN For 1830 Census, I don't find any "Mobley" listings in Bedford County, but did find: Mobly, Rachel, Sullivan County, TN Mobley, Allen, Stewart County, TN Mobley, Archibald, Sevier County, TN Mobly, Edward, Maury County, TN Mobley, Edward, Davidson County, TN Mobly, Robert, Lincoln County, TN Mobly, Zachariah, Giles County, TN Mobly, Jane, Giles County, TN Mobly, Ransone, Giles County, TN Moberley, Rebecca, Jefferson County, TN Good luck with your continued search, Kathryn

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Mobley Moberly Mobly Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/IhB.2ACI/336 Message Board Post: If anyone has access to early Bedford County Tax Lists, published, or otherwise, please search for persons bearing the surname Mobley (variant spellings: Moberly, Mobly, etc.). I believe that Isaiah (Isiah) Mobley arrived in Bedford Co., after 1804. He was apparently accompanied (or followed) by one, or more of his siblings and cousins. I would like to find out which Mobleys were in Bedford Co. (and in Lincoln Co. also), particularly around 1810, as there are no census records, but I am interested in the whole period from 1804 to 1830. Thanks! Roberta

Hi, I've had a couple of people asking about Anderson's. I found this at the archives in an estate settlement. Naturally I copied ALL but the date <sigh> . For some reason I am thinking this has to do with the esate settlement of John C. Anderson who died around 1868 (but don't hold me to it). Does anyone have a Jane Anderson Crowell? The loose leaf estate records in the Bedford County Archives have NOT been indexed. There is a world of information available, but with the archives only open 16 hours a month, it may take me a couple of years. <grin> Later, Marty Bedford County Estate Records Box A - 1 The petition of Wm.
