Marsha Berry has written a book about her
Bobbitt family genealogy. Marsha's book contains information from William
Bebat or Bobet of
Hemley, Suffolk, England, born about
1440. This book joins Marsha's extensive genealogy library of all other
families in her line.

DNA testing is now needed to verify Paper
Trails.
Many Bobbitt genealogists have false Paper
Trails. We can not 'adopt' other people's Paper
Trails. If you have adopted another person's Paper Trail, in all
likelihood, your trail is false. If you have found all or part of your family
in John W. Bobbitt's book "Bobbitt", it doesn't mean you are a member of that
line. It simply means you have found all or part of your family written in
a book. John's book lists more than one line. You can not substitute William Bobbitt from
Suffolk for William Bobbitt of Wales. Won't work.
We have found several Bobbitt
immigrant ancestors. Which one is yours?
John Bobbitt, Germany, Born 1850, Living in Columbus, Ohio in
1880 Census Freakk Bobbit, Germany, Born 1813, Living in Franklin, Ohio in
1850 Census Albert Bobbett, Germany, Ship arrival date 27 October 1906 Barbara Bobbit, Germany, Widowed in 1880, New Albany, Indiana Louisa M. Bobbet, Germany, Born 1862, Deer Park, Maryland,
Husband's name Henry. E.P. Bobbitt, Ship arrival 07 Jul 1901 from Rio de Janerio in
New York.
Dorothy Bobbit, Born in Germany 1814, Residence Franklin, Ohio
1850 Census. William Bobbett - Marsha's immigrant ancestor. William Bobett - indentured April 8, 1674. James Bobitt - indentured April 1701.
James Bobbitt - indentured May 1706. If you never have a DNA test, you may never
know your true line.
Marsha Berry's Bobbitt Line is DNA Tested, Paper Proven and Sourced From 15th Century Hemley, Suffolk,
England to 21st Century America.

Joan YoungDNA and Genealogy -- Beyond the Paper Trail
Genealogical research has always been all about a paper trail. We research our family history using vital records, census lists, tax and land records, wills, pensions, church records, and any other clues and documents we can find to trace our lineage back one generation at a time.
Fairly recently in the scheme of things, a newer tool has been added to our arsenal to assist us in our search: DNA testing. Unlike documents and the conclusions we draw from them and the family trees we share with our cousins, our genes always tell the true story of our ancestry. We may be confident that the facts we've gathered and conclusions we've drawn from them are accurate and they often are, but DNA testing can add a new dimension to support, or possibly refute, the authenticity of our paper documentation.

There are no Bobbitt (or variant spellings) immigrants from
Wales in the 1600's. Any reference to a 'William Bobbitt of Wales' found
in Bobbitt genealogy books is false information. The
"There are Bobbitt
spelled in variations in Cambridgeshire, Cardiff, Dorset, Essex, Kent,
Lincolnshire, Nottinghamshire, Norfolk, Salop or Shropshire, Somerset, Suffolk,
Warwickshire, and Yorkshire but there is no Bobbitt family only a Bobith family
buried in Wales in the 1500's to 1700's but there are Bobbitts buried in Wales
in the late 1800's and 1900's." - - Marsha Berry
Also...
My William Bobbitt
- Immigrant did not marry a Sturdivant. According to the Sturdivant family
website, no Sturdivant ever married a Bobbitt. John W. Bobbitt's book has a
Bobbitt - Sturdivant marriage. That information is wrong.
John Sturdivant and Sarah Hallom had 5 sons... no daughters.
This has been known for
several years. Here is a link to the
Sturdivant Family Web Site.
-- Keith Bobbitt, July 21, 2009.
Addendum...
It is possible and altogether correct to use John's book for reference until we reach the Bobbitt immigrant ancestor William Bobbitt. Since John's book has been online at this website, only a few emails have been received that reference different information about some Bobbitt families. John W. Bobbitt's book is a tremendous source of information for our family. We should know, however, that more recently sourced research has changed John's information about William's wife and his place of origin.
Not all Bobbitts have the same immigrant ancestor. Only DNA testing will sort out the different Bobbitt lines found in America and around the world.

A quote from "The Bobbitt Family In America" by John W.
Bobbitt. "It is a project without end. Life goes on, history is made
every day. It is the task of each member of our family to correct,
preserve, restore, and make available to future generations all that is worth
knowing about our past." --John W. Bobbitt - 1985

The following statements have been proven true
both with paper sources and/or DNA testing. These statements are not listed
in any particular order.
Not all Bobbitts in England are from the
same family.
Not all Bobbitts in America are descended from
the same immigrant ancestor. There is more than one Bobbitt family line in
America. Bobbitts in America are not all from the same
line.
New generations have been added to
the top of one of our family trees.
New 15th (1600s) and 16th (1700s) century Bobbitt immigrant ancestors
to America have been found.
Prior to 2005 and to the present day, no sources have been
found that proves an immigrant named William Bobbitt came from Wales in the
1600s.
Results of Sturdivant family DNA results show no Bobbitt ever
in their family.
It is verified Isham Drury Bobbitt, Junior's ancestors came
from eastern England in Suffolk County.
Burial of William Bobbet and his wife Elizabeth Bobbet was on
the south side of Jones Hole Swamp, south of today's Carson, Surry County,
Virginia, which is south of Templeton, Prince George County, Virginia. They were
not buried in Ferry Chapel South of Petersburg, Bristol Parish, Prince George
County, Virginia.
Your family tree MAY NOT BE THE SAME as those you will find
on this web site.
Most Bobbitt pedigrees you find on the Internet will list a
William Bobbitt from Wales. This is probably not true. There are no
sources that support this.

Bobbitt Or Variations From Wales
"There are Bobbitt/Bobbet
variation spellings in Cambridgeshire, Cardiff, Dorset, Essex, Kent,
Lincolnshire, Nottinghamshire, Norfolk, Salop or Shropshire, Somerset,
Suffolk, Warwickshire, and Yorkshire, but there is no Bobbitt/Bobbet or
variations family buried in Wales in the 1500's to 1700's, but there is a
Bobith family buried in Wales in the late 1800's to 1900's." - - Marsha Berry If William Bobbitt - The Immigrant came from Wales, certainly
his parents or some family member(s) would have been buried there. I have yet
to see any proven evidence that a William Bobbitt or variant spelling came from
Wales in the 1600's. - - Keith Bobbitt

Previous to 1992 and from 1992 until
today, Bobbitt family genealogists have searched for Bobbitts in Wales to find
ancestors of our immigrant William Bobbitt "of Wales".
None have been found.
Our family has been blessed with two
authors of Bobbitt genealogy books the likes of which will probably never be
seen again. The amount of information found in the books written by Allen
Wade Mount, Sr. and John William Bobbitt is very
impressive and extremely useful to those of us trying to find and extend our family
roots. Both authors did what they could to lead us to our early ancestors.
"Trips to Wales were made and letters were written
but no
information was found on the name Bobbitt or it's variants. Glamorganshire
was the primary center of the 'cross the pond' Bobbitt research. John William
Bobbitt, his sister, and a cousin went there several years ago and met some
Bobbitts in the area." --
Newsletter Producer/Historian Julie
Bobbitt Vass.
John hired a professional
genealogist to do further research to no avail.
There is no documentation that proves William, our immigrant ancestor in America, was from Wales. More recently, Bobbitt family genealogists
have researched documents that prove William lived in another area of the
British Isles.
Marsha Berry, a Bobbitt family
genealogist, published new information on her Rootsweb site that proved
William, his father Willm, grandfather John, and great grandfather William were
christened in churches located in Suffolk, England.
Marsha and her family knew nothing about books written by
Allen Wade Mount and John W. Bobbitt. Our family history would have been
much more accurate if these authors had contacted Marsha's family prior to
publishing their books.

Most of the Parish Registers
for England have been microfilmed by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day
Saints. Consequently, the LDS church has become a tremendous research tool for
genealogists and the microfilm copies of Parish Registers may be ordered from
any branch Family History Library of the LDS church.
It's important that the record
you find in your search is from the International Genealogical Index and that under "Messages"
the words Extracted birth or christening record for the locality listed in the
record are present.
The word 'extracted' tells us the information
was copied from original records.
If the word 'extracted' is
absent from "Messages", it means the record was sent in by 'anyone' and
is not necessarily valid or true.
