Before 1850 Clifton had left Grayson County to visit with relatives in Kentucky and then migrated with these relatives to Missouri. Clifton married a Mary A. in Missouri and by the census of 1900 was living in Yolo County, California.

Calvin Bobbitt, was mentioned by B. F. Nuckols in his "Pioneer Settlers of Grayson County, Virginia." The census records show that Calvin was born in 1828 but it is more likely 1827. At the age of 30, Calvin married, Matilda J. Whitaker, on January 29, 1857 in Surry County, North Carolina. Calvin and Matilda had two daughters, Verdurina B. Bobbitt and Louvisa A. Bobbitt.
