I hope this is of some help to the list members in their research. I only wish that I had the complete citation for this article. The citation that I have is: "Page 92," and the page is titled: "1800 Census of Pendleton District, South Carolina." The following is as it appears in the publication.
"1048. Lodwick Dobbs 50110-03100-00"
"Fortune Dobbs was living in Abbeville District in 1790 and there was at that time a family in Newberry District, but none was found in the Pendleton census. Lodowick Dobbs, born 1756-1765, probably in Virginia, was living in Franklin County, Ga., 30 Dec. 1797, when be bought of William Martin 400 Acres on Tugaloo River in Pendleton. Loddy (Lodowick) Dobbs and his wife Sarah sold 50 acres of this tract 28 Dec. 1798 to Larkin Cleveland, adjoining land of William Cleveland and William Brooks, (nos. 377, 398 above) with Benjamin and N. (Neel) Cleveland as witnesses. In 1800, Nathaniel Dobbs was in Greenville District (p. 39, census) near William Cockram (Cockerham) (see John Cockran, No. 495, Col. Brown’s Regiment, Pendleton 1800 census). By 1810 Lodowick Dobbs was enumerated as 43211-10201-00, still living near the Clevelands, and William Winn Cockerham had moved from Greenville and was a neighbor in Pendleton (pps. 207, 203; 145a, 143a, 1810 census). The children of Cockerham, who was from Henry County, Va., included three daughters: Mary, married 3 May 1817, Rev. Silas Dobbs, who was born 4 May 1793; Kitty, married Charles, brother of Silas Dobbs; and Harriet, born 25 Dec. 1823, who married 3 Feb. 1839, Loddy Dobbs, all in Pendleton. By 1820, Nathan Dobbs, a Revolutionary soldier (Pension S-16370) born 1760 in Henry County, Va., was living in Gwinnett County, Ga., along with Nathaniel Jr., Silas, Austin, John, Mormon, Thomas A., William, and Jesse Dobbs. Jesse Dobbs lived next door to Absalom Stewart, who had moved from Pendleton District c. 1801 to Jackson, Morgan, Jasper and eventually Gwinnett County, Ga. Some members of this Stewart family moved to Alabama c. 1815-1817, and in 1820, the St. Clair County, Ala., census shows (p. 4) Silas Dobbs living next door to William Stewart, nephew of Absalom Stewart, and also in the county (p. 13) Charles Dobbs living next door to Elisha Cockerham, believed to be Elisha, son of William Winn Cockerham, born 12 Jan. 1796, and brother of the three girls who married Dobbses in Pendleton. Elisha married Polly Harrison, and one William Harrison was living next door to Silas Dobbs in 1820, in St. Clair County. The Dobbs family was found variously in Hall, Elbert, Franklin and Wilkes Counties, Ga., in this period. Silas Dobbs and wife Lucy of Harris County, Ga., are said to have come from Pendleton District. The Stewarts who intermarried with the Cockerhams are not known to be related to Absalom Stewart."
This seems to fit as the children named in Lodowick Dobb’s will are: Jessay (Jesse), David, John, Silas, Charles, Peter, Nancy, Jane, Lucy, Lewis, Dotia, Lodowick, Stephen, William, and James. This is the first time that I found where Lodowick was called Loddy.
