The Bobbitt Family In America

678


  

An affidavit of George W. Hill and Absolam Williams, states that the heirs of the estate were:

Randolph Bobbitt, of Pulaski County, Kentucky. 

Sally Williams, wife of Absolam Williams, Lawrence County, Mo. 

Lucy Hill, wife of George W. Hill, Lawrence County, Missouri.

For some strange reason, William Bobbitt who married Buleah Moore was not mentioned in this affidavit. William was living in Howard County Missouri at the time of this action.

Because of this affidavit, I place the death of William Bobbitt early in the year of 1845. By 1850 none of the family was living in Grayson County Virginia. Nancy Bobbitt also died before 1850.

George W. Hill died before 1850 and Lucy (Bobbitt) Hill married Abel Lee of Lawrence County Missouri. The 1850 census of Lawrence County finishes the story.

"The Ozarks Region, Its History and Its People," Volume 1, page 297, states that "Absolam Williams settled two miles northwest of Mt. Vernon in 1841."

In 1870 the census records show that Absolam Williams aged 73 was living with his son, William J. Williams, and his family in Lawrence County.
