We know that this James Bobbitt was their son-in-law both by the location of the land and the fact that James the son of William and Anne was now living in Pulaski County Kentucky. The tax lists of 1805 in Grayson County are additional proof.

Robert Bobbitt was a son of Captain William Bobbitt. By 1810 the date of this indenture, Anne (Nancy) the wife of William was deceased. The price of the land sold in comparison to the values of the time, was clearly an act of William Bobbitt distributing his property to his sons and daughters before his death.
The inventory and sale of the personal property of William Bobbitt states that William Bobbitt died on September 25, 1817. There were several deeds both from Pulaski County Kentucky and from Grayson County Virginia that reconstruct and identify this family.
William and Nancy (McKenzie) Bobbitt are ancestors of long lineages throughout the United States.
