The first William Bobbitt (spelling was Will. Bobbett) October 27, 1673 Land Grant in Charles City County, Virginia. "This is William Bobbett chr 12 Aug 1647 Saint Mary, Woodbridge,Suffolk, England." -- Marsha Berry

The second William Bobbitt (spelled Wm Bobett) indentured April 8, 1674 to Thomas Batts in Henrico County, Virginia.
"This indentured William Bobett arrived in Henrico County, Virginia much after 8 April 1674 to work off his debt for 3 to 7 years." -- Marsha Berry

I have received several emails during the past several years from people who can not complete their family trees back to their immigrant ancestor. They say their tree begins to fall apart with a great great grandfather (or another ancestor)... that a census report has the head of household listed correctly but the wife and/or children are not.

The finding of this second William Bobbitt may help solve some of our family's research problems. Much more research is needed.

All of us can help further Bobbitt Family research by having a DNA test and then contacting others who have the same results. The larger the base of information, the better we can understand and know our genealogy.
