Davis' book, "Giles County, Virginia, 1860 Census, Family Histories-Births-Marriages-Deaths Annotated," there is quite a bit about the Thomas J. Hobbs (Household #557) family. "Thomas is the son of James & Mary (Dollard) Hobbs. James md Mary, 22 Apr 1799 in Bedford Co. VA, d/o Reuben Dollard." The annotation provides information about Thomas' wifes, Juliana Duncan and Martha Jane Larew. The annotation also provides spouses for some of Thomas' siblings. I don't know which of James and Mary's children you descend through...might this be helpful? Cara
