The Bobbitt Family In America

[10]
William Johnson, David Jones, Richard Jones, William Mangum. Thomas Moore, Henry Moss, William Moss, James Parham, John Sledge, Nathaniel Rainey, William Sturdivant, John Walden, John Wynne and Robert Wynne, are all names that are associated with the Bobbitt families of Virginia and North Carolina. They are the names that are recorded in the Albemarle Parish Register.

Most of the Bobbitt family records would have been recorded in the years of 1703 to 1740 but most of these records are missing. We also know that part of the family was living in North Carolina by 1719 and they are not listed in the Parish Register. James Bobbitt was in the Parish Register of Saint Paul's Parish in 1708. It is mostly the family of William Bobbitt Junior that is recorded in the Albemarle Parish Register.

Peter Threewits and his wife Amy (Bobbitt) Threewits, had a son in the year of 1749. Thomas Bobbitt was one of the god-parents. This Thomas Bobbitt was a son of John Bobbitt of Chowan Precinct in North Carolina. He was a brother to Amy Bobbitt who married Peter Threewits.

Thomas Bobbitt, Thomas Mann, Elizabeth Wynne, god-parents to John Threewit, son of Peter Threewit and his wife Amy

Robert E. Bobbitt of Pineville South Carolina, a descendant of the Virginia Bobbitt family, said that his family came from a John Bobbitt of North Carolina. In checking his legend against the records of John Bobbitt of Chowan in North Carolina, we discovered that Thomas Bobbitt, son of John of Chowan, returned to Virginia after the death of his father, and was indeed the ancestor of the family of Robert E. Bobbitt.

May 7, 1736 - Will of John Bobbitt of Chowan Precinct North Carolina.

Thomas Bobbitt sold the land he inherited from his father and returned to Virginia to be with his mother's relatives, the Green family. His sisters Mary and Amy went with him. Thomas was never again mentioned in the records of the family in North Carolina.
