(or Joseph) DOBBS who was born in Beford Co. TN about 1818. His
father may be Joseph DOBBS, and his mother may be Ann WILSON. I feel
he must also be related to John DOBBS who, I believe, also lived in
Bedford Co. around the same time. My gg grandfather married Nancy
DAVIS in Logan County, KY in 1837, lived in Hopkins Co. KY, and
finally in the late 1840's settled in Muhlenberg Co. KY where in died
in 1880. His sister, Louiza DOBBS, was b. also in Bedford Co. abt.
1822. Louiza married William W. Gates in Gallatin County, IL in 1843
and eventually moved to Muhlenberg Co. KY also. Other DOBBSes who
lived in Hopkins Co. KY before moving to Shawneetown, Gallatin Co.,
IL were Lodaway DOBBS and Morton DOBBS. Living in Shawneetown with
Lodaway (b. 1797 in Georgia) and Morton Dobbs (also b. in Georgia)in
1850 was also a William DOBBS. Does anyone know what the relationship
between these DOBBSes is? And specifically, how do Joseph and Louiza
fit in? My grandfather also told me that he was fifth generation
Cherokee. Perhaps someone knows of a cherokee lady who married a
Dobbs man. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated. Don't

Hi! I am trying to locate ANY information on my ancestors. My great

spelling on the first name may be mispelled, another spelling I have
seen is Limb. He was a veteran of WWI. A number on his death
certificate was 3,237,194; although I have no idea what this number
is for. He was inducted at Ft.Thomas Kentucky and served from
7-5-1918 until 11-29-1918 and honorably discharged at Camp Sheridan,
AL. with the rank of Private of Co. A, 46th Infantry. His birth date
was 1-1-1891, in Union, TN. and he died 8-19-1939 in Jacksboro,
Campbell County, TN. He married Mary Della Wallace, who was my great
grandmother. He was married one other time to Cordelia Mosley. His
father's name was Isaac Bear; Indian name Running Bear. Running Bear
was in the Civil War as a blacksmith in the Army. He had a half
brother whose name I do not know, but the half brother had a son
named Eagle Eye Bear. I do not have much more information than this.

District south of French Broad and Holston Rivers, now Knox County.
His land lay along Shook Mill Creek (now known as Burnett's Mill
Creek) about nine miles from Knoxville. More than 20 years after it
is thought he made his home there, and more than 10 years after TN
became a state, he finally gained legal possession and a record was
made of it on 2/10/1807, recorded as Grant No. 602 on 6/8/1809 (TN
Grant Book 1, Pg 602). On Burnett's Creek, near the 1960 home of
James B. Bolin, are evidences of an old mill dam, thought to be the
site and Wm. Shook's mill on the creek once known as Shook Mill
Creek. William and Catherine were parents of 11 children: Margaret
5/29/1766-9/18/1838 1st husband George Allen Brock 2nd husband

Montgomery; Mary Ann 12/21/1782 and died before 1845 and married
Thomas Carpenter III; Harmon Shook 9/15/1778 married Margaret
McMillan in Knox Co on 2/16/1808 (MY GGGG GRANDPARENTS); Jemima who
married Rowley McMillan on 3/8/1807 in Knox Co; John Shook who
married Catherine Wilson on 8/7/1816. William sold his remainingI
land to Joshua Monday on 10/11/1811 and moved to the wilderness -
Flat Creek - in Bedford County, TN. He lived here until his death and
was buried in the Shook Graveyard. I believe after the Civil War a
new Shook family came to Knox County from North Carolina, whereas
William came from Virginia (Hampshire County was in Virginia prior to
Civil War but are now part of West Virginia). Do I have any cousins
out there?
