Notes
(The following is taken from "The Bobbitt Family in America," by John W. Bobbitt. Pages 236-245) Isham Bobbitt was born on May 3, 1754 in what is today known as Warren County, North Carolina. He was the fith son of John Richard and Amy (Alston) Bobbitt. Isham Bobbitt married Wlizabeth James on October 13, 1774 in Halifax County, North Carolina. Elizabeth James was a daughter of William and Nancy James. She was a sister of Susannah James who married the brother of Isham Bobbitt, William Bobbitt. She was also a sister to George James who married Amy Bobbitt. Isham was mentioned in the will og his father which was recorded in Warren County on December 7, 1789. "I lend to my son, Isham Bobbitt, during his life, two negroes, Alice and Abbey, and at his decease, the said negroes with their increase to be equally divided between all of his children and their rep- sentatives." Isham was listen in the 1771 Bute County tax list along with his father, John Bobbitt and his brother Stephen Bobbitt. There are no land deeds recorded for Isham Bobbitt in Warren County. From the records of Isham Bobbitt's life we can trace his places of living and the periods of time that he lived in each place. 1754 - 1774 born in Granville County which became Warren County. 1774 - 1780 lived in Halifax County, North Carolina. 1780 - 1781 served in the American Revolutionary War. 1781 - 1789 lived in Guilford County, North Carolina. 1789 - 1803 lived in Spartanburg County, South Carolina. 1803 - 1827 lived in Christian County, Kentucky. 1827 - 1836 lived and died in Morgan County, Illinois. Isham Bobbitt was a volunteer in the service of the Revolution Army. He entered the service on February 1, 1780 and was discharged on September 1, 1781. He served as a First Sergeant under the command of Captain Christman. Several of his children, later married into the Christman family. He served under the command of General Green in the barrle of Guilford Court House. He was in the battle of Yorktown, under the command of General Green until the surrender of Cornwallis. After the surrender, Isham was assigned as a body guard to Governor Alexander Martin, of North Carolina. Isham Bobbitt died on March 6, 1836 in Morgan County, Illinois. He was buried on the Paschal Farm near Markham, Illinois. Isham Bobbitt and his family moved from North Carolina to South Carolina in 1789. On March 14, 1792, Mary and Margaret Smith appointed Isham Bobbitt as heir attorney to represent them in the settlement of the estate of their father, Edward Smith of the County of Edgefield. "Know all men...that I Mary Smith and Margaret Smith, daughters of Edward Smith in the County of Edgefield, for divers good causes...and being absent from Spartanburg County...do make... our trusty friend Isham Bobbitt in the county of Spartanburg our true and lawfull attorney for us in out name...(some money and 253 acres of land)... full power of attorney...the twenty fifth of November 1791 MARY SMITH Teste: MARGARET SMITH John Smith Druallen Bobbitt John Vardil On April 23, 1799 Isham Bobbitt purchased 100 acres of land in Spartanburg County from Edward Henning. The deed was recorded and witnessed by Allen Bobbitt and William James Bobbitt. In the 1790 federal census of Spartanburg County, South Carolina Isham was listed as: 2 males 16 or over (born before 1774) 5 males 16 or under (born after 1774) 5 females all ages (born before 1790) In the 1800 federal census of Spartanburg County South Carolina Isham and his family were listed as: Isham Bobbitt: 1 male under 10 (1790-1800) 3 males 16 - 26 (1774-1784) 1 male 45 & over (....-1755) 2 females under 10 (1790-1800) 2 females 10 - 16 (1784-1790) 1 female 16 - 26 (1774-1784) 1 female 26 - 45 (1755-1774) Allen Bobbitt: 1 male under 10 (1790-1800) 1 male 16 - 26 (1774-1784) 1 female 16 - 26 (1774-1784) Stephen Bobbitt son of Isham and Elizabeth Bobbitt stated under oath on November 27, 1840 in his pension application: "I believe that the names of all of the children was put down in a family Bible. The names of the children are as follows: William, Allen, Winney, Stephen, John, Amy, Fanney, Betsey, Isham, Sally, and Nancy." In 1803 Isham Bobbitt and his family moved from South Carolina to Kentucky. Their daughter Winney Bobbitt had married and moved to Alabama before 1800. The family had several relatives living in Alabama and we believe that Isham and his family took a route to Kentucky by the way of Alabama. Stephen Bobbitt son of Isham and Elizabeth Bobbitt stated in his service application for military benefits on November 27, 1840 the following. "That, I Stephen Bobbitt was born on 21st of November 1779, and that I always understood and believed that I had two brothers and one sister older than myself. Their names were, William, Allen, and Winney. William and Allen are dead. Winney is supposed to be living in the State of Alabama." Wiliam Bobbitt died in Morgan County, Illinois in 1836. Allen Bobbitt died in Christian County, Kentucky in 1809. It is doubtful that any of the family knew whether Winner was living or not. John W. Bobbitt and Isham Drury Bobbitt were the two younger brothers of Stephen Bobbitt. The records support the fact that there was only five sons in the family of Isham and Elizabeth Bobbitt. Isham Bobbitt had a brother named William Bobbitt who also served in the war of the Revolution. William Bobbitt married Susannah James, who was a sister to Elizabeth James the wife of Isham Bobbitt. The children of the two families were double first cousins. William Bobbitt moved from North Carolina to South Carolina in 1801. William lived out his life in York and Chester counties of South Carolina and died in the state in the year of 1829. Descendants of William Bobbitt moved into Tennessee and Alabama. It is doubtful that any members of either family ever say one another after Isham and his family moved to Kentucky in 1803. Isham ad Elizabeth were counted in the census of 1820 in Kentucky with the Chrisman family. IN the 1830 census they were counted with the John Chrisman family in Morgan County, Illinois. The children and their descendants are well documented in the records of Christian County Kentucky and Morgan County, Illinois. The family of Isham and Elizabeth Bobbitt is one of the large and important families in the history of the Bobbitt family. A very large segment of all Bobbitt families in the country today can trace their lineage back to Isham and Elizabeth Bobbitt. The children of Isham and Elizabeth (James) Bobbitt were born between 1774 and 1797. The 1800 census of Spartanburg County, South Carolina represents the family with the exception of one daughter. The marriages of most of the children have been recorded in Christian and Trigg County of Kentucky. South Carolina did not require marriage bonds between 1779 and 1911. There were very few marriages recorded in South Carolina. Several of the marriages of the children were performed by their brother, John W. Bobbitt, minister of the gospel. Isham and Elizabeth moved to Morgan County, Illinois in 1827. Their home burned in 1834 and they went to live with their daughter and son in law, Nancy and John Chrisman. They were listed in the 1830 census of Morgan County in the John Chrisman family. Elizabeth James was born in 1756, the daughter of William and Nancy James of Warren County North Carolina. Elizabeth James married Isham Bobbitt in Halifax County North Carolina on October 13, 1774. Elizabeth lived to be 91 years of age and died on March 6, 1847 in the home of her son, Stephen Bobbitt. Elizabeth was a sister to Susannah Bobbitt the wife of William Bobbitt. William was a brother of Isham. Their sister, Amy Bobbitt married George James who was a brother to Elizabeth and Susannah James. The James family name in he records over the years was spelled Jaynes, Jeans, Janes, and finally James. After the family moved from Spartanburg County, South Carolina in 1803 to Christian County, Kentucky, they were listed in the 1810 federal census. William Bobbitt and Elizabeth (Hail) Bobbitt 1 male under 10 (1800-1810) 1 male 26 - 45 (1765-1784) 1 female under 10 (1800-1810) 1 female 16 - 26 (1784-1794) John Bobbitt and Hester (Boney) Bobbitt 2 males under 10 (1800-1810) 1 male 16 - 26 (1784-1794) 1 male 26 - 45 (1765-1784) 1 female under 10 (1800-1810) 1 female 26 - 45 (1765-1784) Isham Bobbitt and Elizabeth (James) Bobbitt 1 male 16 - 26 (1784-1794)---son, Isham Drury Bobbitt 1 male 45 & over (....-1765) 1 female 16 - 26 (1784-1794) 2 females 26 - 45 (1765-1784) 1 female 45 & over (....-1765) Stephen Bobbitt - married Barbara Chrisman in 1814 1 male 26 - 45 (1765-1784) 0 females Nancy (Smith) Bobbitt - wife of Allen Bobbitt who died in 1809 1 male 16 - 26 (1784-1794) 1 female 16 - 26 (1784-1794) 1 female 26 - 45 (1765-1784) Tracing the descendants of this family is interesting. Most eventually moved to Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, Iowa, California, and Nebraska. They may be found in the records of numerous countied in Illinois, such as Morgan, Pike, Scott, Handcock, Brown, Schuyler and Adams. Revolutionary War Service Record Among the interesting papers in our Bobbitt family history are the files retained by the federal government on persons who applied for benefits as a result of their service in the army of the Revolution. The records were written by hand and are difficult to read. There was little of no punctuation. The abstracts were taken from the service records of Isham Bobbitt. State of Illinois September 3, 1832 County of Morgan At Open Court Isham Bobbet a resident of this county, aged 78 years, who being duly sworn according to law, doth under oath make the following declaration: That he entered the service of the United States as a volunteer in the county of Warren, North Carolina, about the first of February 1780. That he was mustered into service at that time under the command of Captain Christman and marched to Halifax where we were met by Colonel Allen, who took the command of the regiment. He marched us to Tarborough and thence to Cross Creek and Camden, thence to Nelsons Ferry near Monks Corner, thirty miles from Charleston. In a few days the Brittish troops took Charleston and then we were marched back to Camden in company with Colonel Blufod, at which place we parted from him. We marched under the command of General Caswell to Fayettesville and continued stationed there until the last of June, at which time we were discharged. "I was first sergeant during the whole of this campaign. I then went and worked a three months tour with Colonel Long, a Quarter Master General. I was a wagon maker and repaired wagon gear for the army wagons." Some time in January 1781, Cornwallis was pursueing General Green. Isham Bobbitt then turned out a volunteer under Captain George Naswrthy. Colonel Williams commanded our regiment and General Eaton commanded the brigade. We joined to Army under the command of General Greene near Hillsborough and marched to Guilford Courthouse, where an engagement was had with Cornwallis' army. After a few days rest, we pursued him to Ramsey's mill on Deep River, where some fighting took place. After this, our Captain was taken sick and returned home. General Green then turned his course to South Carolina. He called for volunteers and I turned out under Captain Harris and Colonel Reed about the first of April 1781, and served three months under those officers from the first of April until the first of July. I was discharged and returned home. About he first of September, I volunteered as a forage master under Captain Twitty and served in the light horse company and found my own horse. I continued in that service three months, having been discharged about the middle of December of the same year. Under Captain Twitty I marched to Warrentown into the state of Virginia and pursued Cornwallis to Little York. After the surrender of his army we returned to North Carolina and marched down near to Willmington as a life guard to Governor Martin. We then returned to Harrisburg where we were discharged by order of Governor Martin and we returned home to Warren County North Carolina. My time of service in the first trip was five months. The second tour as lader maker, three months. The third tour under Nasworthy was two months. The fourth tour under Harris and Colonel Reed was three months. The last tour under Captain Twitty was three months, making in all sixteen months, that I was engaged in the service of the United States. Isham Bobbitt signed his name to this document in his hand and wrote the name as "ISHAM BOBBITT". His son William Bobbitt was a witness to the signiture. His son Stephen Bobbitt went before the justice of the peace in Pike County, Illinois to make statements to help in the proof of the service records of his father. Some of the statements made by Stephen are interesting and are here abstracted from the legal jargon of the origonal documents. The said Isham and Elizabeth Bobbitt lived together as man and wife to the time of the said death of Isham. They were always recognized by their relations and their acquaintances as having been lawfully married, and they always recognized this before married brothers and sisters. If the said Isham and Elizabeth were not lawfully married persons at the birth of the children, he the said Stephen believes that he would have heard something about it, but as before stated he has always understood and believed that they were lawfully married before the birth of any children. The names and ages of the children were put down in a Bible and the names of the children were as follows: William, Allen, Winner, Stephen, John, Amey, Fanny, Betsey, Isham, Sally, and Nancy. He has not seen the Bible for about two years, and he believes from the information of one of his brother-in-laws that the said Bible has been entirely destroyed." The statements of Stephen made in 1832 are timeless. They show the respect that he had for his parrents and his family. After the first declaration of Isham Bobbitt brfore the open court of Morgan County, he returned with additional information on February 2, 1833. "Isham Bobbitt stated that he was born on May 3, 1754, in what was called then, Granville COunty, North Carolina, the county was subsequently divided and is now a new county, called Warren, which includes the residence of the correspondent. He has a record of his age in his pocession which was made by his father in the family Bible, and the same Bible is now approp- riated by this department. "This applicant resided in Warren County until the year of 1782. In 1782 he moved to Guilford County, North Carolina and resided there or about seven years. He moved to Spartenburg County, South Carolina and resided there about fourteen years, then moved to Christian COunty, kentucky and arrived there in 1803. He resided there until the spring of 1827 when he moved to Morgan County, Illinois, where he now resides. "He received a written discharge which along with a box of other papers, he left with William James in Guilford. When he returned five years afterwards to obtain the box of papers, he found that the papers had been destroyed and he not only lost his discharges but lost about ten thousand dollars of continental money. "He is personally known by Joseph M. Fairfields, David Brassmon, John Chrisman, Samuel B. Jones, and Moses Carlick, and John P. Wilkerson, all of whom reside in the neighborhood. He is also known by William McCord a clergyman who has already testified in his behalf, along with William Bobbitt." The name of Isham Bobbitt is engraved on a metal plaque and placed on the Morgan County, Illinois court house. Isham died March 6, 1836. Elizabeth his wife died on March 6, 1847 and was buried beside Isham. Their graves wre marked with stones that bear their names and dates of birth and deat, with a notation that Isham Bobbitt was a soldier in the war of the American Revolution. For many years the graves were cared for by the James Caldwell Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution of Jacksonville, Illinois. On June 6th, 1838, Charles Holliday a great great grandson of Isham Bobbitt, had the remains of Isham Bobbitt's body removed from the Paschal farm to the Chapin Cemetery in Chapin, Illinois. The best documented branch of the Bobbitt family is the branch of Isham Bobbitt. There are numerous descendants from coast to coast throughout the United States.

Notes
(The following is taken from "The Bobbitt Family in America," by John W. Bobbitt. Pages 680-684) William James Bobbitt was the first child and son of Isham and Elizabeth (James) Bobbitt. He was born in North Carolina in 1775. His parents were married on October 13, 1774 in Halifax County, North Carolina. From Published information left by his son John G. Bobbitt, we have the following record of the family and the places they lived. 1774 - 1781 lived in Warren and Halifax Counties, N. C. 1781 - 1789 lived in Guilford County, North Carolina. 1789 - 1803 lived in Spartanburg County, South Carolina. 1803 - 1816 lived in Christian County, Kentucky. 1816 - 1829 lived in Missouri Territory. 1829 - 1836 lived and died in Morgan County, Illinois. William James Bobbitt had to be born before 1779 and after 1774. The census records indicate that William was born in 1775. Much of what we know about William Bobbitt comes from a published account in "Portrair and Biographical Album of Morgan County Illinois", published by Chapman Brothers in 1889. John G. Bobbitt son of William J. Bobbitt supplied the information. Excerpts from this acount pertaining to William J. Bobbitt are quoted here. "William J. Bobbitt, father of our subject (John G. Bobbitt) was a native of North Carolina, a millwright by trade and a natural mechanic. He was the son of southern parents, and his father Isham Bobbitt served in the Revolutionary War. He died in this county at the age of 84 years. He located in Kentucky where in due time he was married to Miss Elizabeth Hale. After their marriage the parents of our subject (John G. Bobbitt) settled in Hopkinsville, Christian County, Kentucky, where they lived until after the birth of two children. Then hoping to better their financial condition, they sought the southwest, locating in Madison County, Missouri, where the father put up a mill and engaged as a miller and general mechanic until coming to this county." In our research on William J. Bobbitt in Missouri, we found him listed as one of the justices of the peace who performed some marriages. One of the records showed that he performed the marriage of William Campbell to Malinda Davis on January 31, 1829, not long before he left Missouri and returned to Morgan County, Illinois. "William J. Bobbitt purchased forty acres of land from the government and began the construction of a homestead in the wilderness. He lived but seven years thereafter, resting from his earthly labors in 1836, at the age of 61. Both he and his wife (Elizabeth Hale) were members of the Regular Baptist Church. His wife survived her husband by many years, dying at the age of seventy-six. She was a number of years younger than he. To their marriage was born eleven children, five sons and six daughters, all of whom reached mature years and married before a death occured in the famiy. "One son, William C. Bobbitt was waylaid and killed for his money in the gold regions of California. Three sis- ters are now deceased, all of whom left families. The eldest brother living has now reached advanced age of over eighty years and the youngest member of the family is past fifty." Stephen Bobbitt, brother of William James Bobbitt left Hopkinsville Kentucky and moved to Morgan County Illinois in 1826. His father, Isham Bobbitt and his mother Elizabeth, moved to Morgan County in 1827. Several of the children of Isham also moved to Morgan County before 1830. When William J. Bobbitt moved back to Illinois from Missouri he lived near his brother Stephen. Both families are listed in the 830 census of Morgan County, Illinois. William James Bobbitt marries Elizabeth Hale on July 8, 1808 in Trigg County, Kentucky. They were married by James Thompson a justice of the peace, and a brother to William Bobbitt's brother-in-law, John Thompson, husband of sister Amy (Bobbitt) Thompson. There are many records in Trigg County Kentucky that pertain to the family living in Christian County. The family was recorded in the 1810 census of Christian County Kentucky. William J. Bobbitt 1 male under 10 (1800-1810) 1 male 26 - 45 (1765-1784) 1 female under 10 (1800-1810) 1 female 16 - 25 (1785-1794) The family in 1810 was William J. Bobbitt born in 1775, Wiley Madison Bobbitt born in 1809, Elizabeth Hale Bobbitt born in 1790, and Polly Bobbitt born in 1810. William and his family moved from Kentucky to Missouri between the years of 1810 and 816. The family lived in Missouri until the early spring of 1830 at which time they moved back to Morgan County, Illinois. Two of the children were born in Illinois, Elzorah in 1830 and Hardy in 1833. The best record of the family was in the federal census taken in Morgan County in 1830. William J. Bobbitt: 1 male under 5 (1825-1830) 2 males 5 - 10 (1820-1825) 1 male 10 - 15 (1815-1820) 1 male 20 - 30 (1800-1810) 1 male 50 - 60 (1770-1780) 1 female under 5 (1825-1830) 2 females 10 - 15 (1815-1820) 2 females 15 - 20 (1810-1815) 1 female 30 - 40 (1790-1800) Since one of the children was born after the census was taken the number of children in the family was eleven. Many of the descendants have stated there were only eleven children. We have a record where William J. Bobbitt as Justice of the Peace performed a marriage in Missouri on January 31, 1829 and was in the state census of Illinois in 1830. Marriages of the children are recorded in Illinois and mostly in the counties of Morgan, Hancock and Brown. The first of the children to get married was Polly in 1832, and then Wiley in 1835. None of the children was married before the 1830 census. William James Bobbitt died in 1836 in Morgan County, Illinois. Elizabeth Bobbitt died in 1864 at the home of her son James Bobbitt, who was living in Bethel Illinois. Many of the members of the family are buried in the family cemetery in the town of Jacksonville, Illinois. In 1840 the census of Mrgan County, Illinois listed the family with Elizabeth (Hale) Bobbitt as head of household. Elizabeth Bobbitt: 1 male 5 - 10 (1830-1835) 1 male 10 - 15 (1825-1830) 2 males 15 - 20 (1820-1825) 1 male 20 - 30 (1810-1820) 1 female 15 - 20 (1820-1825) 2 females 20 - 30 (1810-1820) 1 female 40 - 50 (1790-1800) All of the children except Elzorah and Hardy were married and away from home by the time of the 1850 census. The census was taken on October 24, 1850. Elizabeth Bobbitt 59 (1791) North Carolina E. (Elzorah) Bobbitt 20 (1830) Illinois Hardy Bobbitt 16 (1834) Illinois Elizabeth Bobbitt died in 1864 in Morgan County. William J. Bobbitt was listed in the 1800 census of Spartanburg County, South Carolina in the family of his father. Although he was 25 years of age at the time there is no indication that he was married. The family moved to Kentucky in 1803 and William married in 1808. It is likely that he had to help his parents rear his younger brothers and sisters. We do not believe that he was married before he met and married Elizabeth Hale in 1808. In 1917 Hattie Bobbitt a granddaughter of William J. Bobbitt wrote to her cousin, Mildred Welsh, a letter concerning family history. Some of the excerps from this letter are interesting. "Father said we were English and Welsh. He (John G. Bobbitt) is buried in the same cemetery as your great grandfather a few miles out in the country". (from Chapin, Illinois) "Grandfather (William J. Bobbitt) died when father was but a boy, but I remember granmother tho I was but a small child when she died. There were eleven children of that family, your grandfather and Uncle Hardie being the younger. (This means Elzorah and Hardy) Madison, Everett, John William, Elzy, Hardie, Martilla Glover, Purity Gentry, Pollie Boyd, Elma Giddings and Betsy Giddings, five of the Bobbitt relations married Giddings."
