ROCKBRIDGE COUNTY

Rockbridge County was formed in 1778 from Augusta and the now discontinued county of Boetourt. In 1819 John and Permelia Bobbitt moved into this county and lived there until 1827. There are no records of any Bobbitt families living in this county other than the family of John and Permelia Bobbitt. Milton Bobbitt married Susan Davis on February 2, 1830 and is listed here with his family.

The family was counted two times. Milton Bobbitt was a carpenter and had apparently moved to another location when he was counted the second time. The information in the first census isthe more correct one.

Milton Bobbitt was a son of John and Permelia Bobbitt. The exact proof has not been established, but the evidence is too great to leave much doubt.
