Henry, Robert, and Isaac Bobbitt I am sure were sons of Isaac and Hasty Bobbitt. What happened to them has certainly not been recorded. I cannot find them in list of Illinois soldiers, or in any census records. It is possible that they died young or that they were working in one of the Illinois large industrial cities.
