Subject: [NCROOTS] Abraham and Christopher HOBBS
Date: Mon, 30 Jul 2001 08:48:18 -0500


Abraham HOBBS b. abt 1790-1800 in North Carolina.
Christopher HOBBS b. abt. 1766 in North Carolina.
Can anybody shed any light on these 2 HOBBS men?
I had thought Christopher Hobbs was the father of this Abraham, but it appears that Christopher Hobbs had been married previously to a "Mary"(?) and 6 children are known, but not to me. I was sent a BIO on Christopher, but. (I could only make out Isaac and Archibald, Joseph "Jefferson", ) He remarried in 1836-37 in Gallatin Co., Illinois to a Mathilda Fairchild.

Abraham and Christopher Hobbs are together in Hardin Co., Illinois, along with Archibald Hobbs b. 1811, and an Isaac b.1801 , and several others. It is stated that Christopher was a Pioneer to Illinois. (such as several of my ancestors were)
Christopher is not enumerated in N.C. census that I can find.
Can anyone help me on Christopher or Abraham? I may be riding a dead horse here in chasing Christopher for Abraham's father. If I am I would like to know before chasing these Hobbs another 27 years!! Would anyone know who Christophers parents were?
Thank you for any information and speculation on my problem.
Mary
