Who is this Andrew Hobbs -- where did he live?

I was very curious about the Hobbs Family cemetery.

Prosperity Church is in that section of Taylor near Schley.

I found this in the 46th Reg Co B. which was raised from Schley County and
known as Schley Rifles.

Wonder if Richard E. Hobbs is related?

account of total deafness, April 17, 1863 . (Born in Crawford County, Ga.
February 20, 1833.) He filed for pension in Taylor Co.

Hobbs, Richard F.- private March 4, 1862 . Transferred to Co. G, March 20,

Franklin; Tenn. November 30, 1864. Furloughed for 90 days December 1864.
Pension records show he was on detail at Chester, S. C. close of war. (Born
