The Bobbitt Family In America

[6]
The federal census of 1810 for Pulaski County lists only one Bobbitt family. I am certain that it contains the family of James and Rebecca Bobbitt as well as the family of Uncle James Bobbitt. The family seems to be listed under Uncle James.

James Bobbitt (brother of Captain William Bobbitt, James born 1748)

1 male under 10 1800-1810 John Bobbitt, born 1805

1 male 10 - 16 1784-1800 William Bobbitt, born 1797

1 male 26 - 45 1765-1784 James Bobbitt, born 1772

1 male 45 & over -1765 James Bobbitt, born 1748

1 female under 10 1800-1810 Nancy Bobbitt, born 1810

1 female 10 - 16 1784-1800 Susannah Bobbitt, born 1801

1 female 16 - 26 1774-1784 Rebecca Day Bobbitt, born 1774

1 female 45 & over -1765 Wife of Uncle James Bobbitt.

We do not know much about James Bobbitt born in 1748. We are not certain how many children he had, but believe that he had several daughters and all are by 1810, married and away from home.

In the 1820 census records of Pulaski County, the only Bobbitt family members are the family of James Bobbitt son of Captain William and Nancy Bobbitt.

James Bobbitt: (born 1772)

1 male under 10 1810-1820 James L. Bobbitt, born 1817

1 male 10 - 16 1804-1810 John Bobbitt, born 1805

1 male 45 & over -1775 James Bobbitt, born 1772

2 females under 10 1810-1820 Nancy 1811, Polly 1813

1 female 10 - 16 1804-1810 Susannah Bobbitt, born 1801

1 female 45 & over -1775 Rebecca Bobbitt, born 1774

William Bobbitt: (born 1797, son of James and Rebecca Bobbitt)

1 male under 10 1810-1820 Joseph D. Bobbitt, born 1820

1 male 16 - 26 1794-1804 William Bobbitt, born 1797

1 female 16 - 26 1794-1804 Permelia Cragg Bobbitt, born 1803

The dates of actual births are taken from grave markers in the Bobbitt cemetery of Pulaski County.

After 1820 the Bobbitt families of Pulaski County were joined by other Bobbitt families from Grayson County Virginia. Randolph Bobbitt was a nephew of James Bobbitt. Caleb Bobbitt was a brother of James Bobbitt. William Bobbitt was a nephew of James Bobbitt. There was also many relatives by family names other than Bobbitt living in the same general area and community.

The 1830 federal census records as head of households the families of Randolph Bobbitt, James Bobbitt, Nancy wife of Caleb Bobbitt, and John Bobbitt, son of James and Rebecca Bobbitt.
