Classification: Query
Surnames: Hobbs, Arnold, Davis, Tomlinson,
Hey Bill, you are kin to Lewis Hobbs who came to Talladega about 1830's to settle his father, William Hobbs, estate.
Your William Hobbs is from Sampson Co., NC.and all that group of Hobbs. Lewis and all his children, etc. moved on to Van Zandt Co., Texas. My kin, Solomon Hobbs, had a son,
John M.D,(or N)Hobbs moved from Monroe Co., Ga to Van Zandt Co., Texas. I have been contacted by these kin, last year.

My Hobbs that came to Talladega Co., Ala in late 1830's is
Charles Newton Hobbs, Sr.(had 1 wife Rebecca Tomlinson and a bunch of kids), William H. "Billy" Hobbs, his brother, had 3 wives and a lot of children). Thomas Hobbs, b. 1823, another brother came about 1860, Brother Solomon Hobbs (wife was Malinda Davis) a lot of kids, stayed in Monroe Co., GA. their father was George Hobbs who was born Wake Co., NC abt.1782 whose wife is Mary/Lydia , who moved to Monroe Co. GA in early 1812 era. George moved to Talledaga/Clay Co. in about 1850-6-'s after wife died. Sister, Elizabeth Hobbs Arnold, b. 1809 SC, Sisters Rebecca and apparently Mary came with George to Clay Co. George died about 1870 or before. Rebecca returned to Monroe Co., GA, and lived with Solomo' family. I think but not sure that sister, Mary Hobbs, stayed in Clay Co. Ala. I think the children "Newton" and "Callie/Sallie" were Mary's children. (This Newton just may be the younger "Charles Newton Hobbs" that moved on to Tennessee, I do not know if this is right.)
There is a sister, Mary in the Census, just do not have proof that it is her. Thomas married Ann Goodwin in Troup Co., GA went on to Jackson Co., LA, then came back to Clay Co., Ala. for 1860 Census.
Solomon's son George Franklin "Dock" Hobbs, son of Solomon came to Clay Co., Ala. about 1850 era. George Thomas Hobbs is the son of my Charles Newton Hobbs, Sr.

One of the people on the Message board has my Hobbs line back into the 1600's in Virginia. I have been off genealogy for about a year or more, YOUR email address has changed since 2002, the last time I got a message from you, evidently.
