These deeds establish the relationship between Grayson County and Montgomery County. John and William Dalton were first cousins of Captain William Bobbitt. James Bobbett Junior was the son of Captain William Bobbitt. James Bobbitt (the senior by age not by relationship) was the son of John Bobbitt. William Bobbitt was the son of Captain William Bobbitt. James Bennet was a relative through Richard Bennett the half brother of Captain William Bobbitt. John Cock is believed to have been married to one of Captain William's daughters. James Bobbitt (senior) in the later deed was also a son-in-law to Captain William, also his nephew, and the husband of his daughter Rosanna Bobbitt. It is important to remember that this James Bobbitt, son of John Bobbitt, lived and died in the Grayson- Carroll County area of Virginia.
