In Pulaski County records under "deaths" is listed the following record.
"William Bobbitt, age 40, a blacksmith, died June 10, 1856.11 "Son of John and Nancy Bobbitt, he was born in Grayson County Virginia."
Also from Pulaski County records is this notation:
"E. T. Bobbitt, died November 19, 1858, age 11 years, son of William and Nancy Bobbitt."
This is Ebinezer Bobbitt who was listed as age 3 in the 1850 census above. The 1860 census records lists the family which with the exception of William, deceased, and his son Ebinezer, deceased, records all the children of the family and apparently accurately.
