The Bobbitt Family In America

[12]
There is no doubt that Lewis C. Bobbitt was a Planter of considerable wealth. Living near his home, but separately was the home of his mother, Elizabeth (Harris) Bobbitt, living with an unmarried son, Frederick H. Bobbitt. This is the 1830 census.

Lewis C. Bobbitt:

1 male 10 - 15 (1815-1820) 3 females under 5 (1825-1830)

1 male 40 - 50 (1780-1790) 3 females 5 - 10 (1820-1825)

1 female 10 - 15 (1815-1820)

1 female 30 - 40 (1790-1800)

Elizabeth Bobbitt:

1 male 30 - 40 (1790-1800) 1 female 60 - 70 (1760-1770)

Lewis Bobbitt was taxed in Franklin County for 204 acres of land on Sandy Creek in Captain Woods district in 1820. In 1822 he was taxed for 117 acres and two slaves.

On November 23, 1823, Lewis C. Bobbitt posted a $ 2,000.00 bond as administrator in the estate of his brother, John Bobbitt. At about the same time a sale of the property of John R. Bobbitt was held in Warren County by Lewis C. Bobbitt, at which sale some of the purchasers were Elizabeth Bobbitt (mother), Richard J. Bobbitt (brother) and other relatives. On December 23, 1823 a sale was held in Franklin County for the same estate, where the purchasers were Frederick Bobbitt (brother) and Elizabeth Bobbitt (mother). I consider this record extremely important as it proves the relationship of Lewis C. Bobbitt and John R. Bobbitt to Randolph Bobbitt. Reference Will Book 26, page 144, Warren County.

On December 1, 1835, Lewis C. Bobbitt who was ill at the time, wrote his will and had it recorded in Franklin County. The will was probated in March of 1836.

I give and bequeath to my beloved wife, Nancy Bobbitt two certain tracts of land, the one where on I now live, and the other where Charles Coppedge family now lives, containing 75 acres..... one negro woman named Aby, one negro boy named Jacob, together with all the rest of my horses, cattle, hogs, sheep, corn and foder, household furniture and plantation utinsils for her life time or widowhood.

I give to my son, Joseph R. Bobbitt, my set of blacksmith tools and my shot gun, when he arrives at lawful age. After the widowhood of my beloved wife, my will is that all my property be equally divided among my heirs to wit: Joseph R. Bobbitt, Matilda Bobbitt, Lucinda Bobbitt, Martha Bobbitt, Nancy Bobbitt, Sally Bobbitt, Catherine Bobbitt, Viney Bobbitt, and Harriet Bobbitt. I appoint Joseph Lancaster with Joseph R.
