The tax list does not show the names of William Bobbitt Sr. or of his son William Bobbitt Jr., because they were living in Orange County at the time of the tax listing. Miles and Lewis are listed as living near one another. John appears after several other entries in the tax list, which indicated that he lived at a greater distance from Miles and Lewis.

In July 1754, William Bobbitt of Orange County sold 550 acres of his land to Thomas Williams of Granville County. The land that was granted to him in 1749 and located on the south side of Reedy Creek. In August 1754, William Bobbitt of Orange County sold the remaining 50 acres of land in Granville County to Daniel Harris. John Bobbitt was a witness to the later transaction. John Bobbitt was the son of William Senior and the only John Bobbitt old enough at this time to be a witness to this deed.

Lewis Bobbitt died in 1769. The last record which mentions Lewis and Elizabeth Bobbitt was on September 22, 1769 in which they were witnesses to a land deed between William Person Jr. and Daniel Coleman. William Person Jr. is believed to have been a son-in-law of Lewis and Elizabeth, the husband of their daughter Martha.

From 1753 we have two Bobbitt families in North Carolina from which to trace our genealogy. The family of Lewis Bobbitt and the family of William Bobbitt Senior. There is no evidence that Lewis had more than the three sons or that William Senior had more than the two sons. This may seem strange but according to E. Kay Kirkham, in his book "American Survey of the Census Schedules", the average family size at this period in our history was about five children who lived to maturity, counting both sons and daughters.

The real estate deeds, tax lists, and census records support the families as outlined above. We have a good base on which to base our mathematics in our genealogical studies.
