to mean the brother of Caleb and the father of Randolph Bobbitt. However William the brother of Caleb would be 73 years of age and I cannot believe he is thinking of making the journey. He in fact did not make the journey as he died in 1841. William Bobbitt the brother of Randolph Bobbitt, I believe went to Missouri. William Bobbitt the son of Randolph Bobbitt lived his life in Kentucky. William Bobbitt the son of John and Nancy (Nuckols) Bobbitt lived his life out in Pulaski County Kentucky and died there in 1856. William Bobbitt the son of Robert and Dicy (Bullard) Bobbitt went to Missouri in 1841. Nancy must be talking about William Bobbitt brother of Randolph who married Buleah Moore in 1840 in Grayson County Virginia.

April 19, 1847 Glasgow, Howard County, Missouri.

I will inform you that William and Randolph and John Bobbitt are situated in the vicinity of myself. They are doing well and are satisfied with this section of the country.

I still carry on my blacksmith's shop and also farm. I have a very good horse-mill and I have plenty of every thing around me. Although we are far from each other, there seems to be the same reverence here for that sacred constitution and our twenty-six sister states as there was in the land of its nativity. For here every man can worship God, agreeable to the dicates of his own conscience.

Thomas Bobbitt

John Bobbitt son of Nancy (Nuckols) and John Bobbitt, and William Bobbitt, brother of Randolph Bobbitt left Grayson County Virginia and joined Randolph Bobbitt in Pulaski County Kentucky, and then moved to Missouri sometime between 1844 and 1847.

July 7, 1849 Howard County Missouri.

Will you please tell my dear brother, John Blair, that I have not forgotten him and sister Charity, and give my compliments to William Lennard and Polly. I wish to be remembered to all and likewise to Mr. Ashworth and to Mr. Jennings, not forgetting your uncle James Bobbitt, and uncle Shad Collier, also your aunt Nancy Worrell. Give my best respects to her and your aunt Lucy Collier and all our connections and friends.

Randolph Bobbitt had the misfortune of losing his wife. His son and daughter are married, and Randolph has bought land and is doing very well. William Bobbitt is doing very well, they have four children, three boys and a girl, he has plenty and lives well.

Your brother Thomas is doing well, he has a good farm,
