Note: Calkins (History of Norwich) says John Elderkin, carpenter & miller, the first proprietor of the "Cove", emigrated to America in 1637, coming first to Lynn & then to Dedham. Mr W W Chapin of Providence says he was in Providence about 1650 when Daniel Comstock was there. As Elderkin must have had a family at the time, this would furnish a motive for the migration of Daniel from Providence to New London.

    Daniel Comstock, 01-29-1646, acknowledges a free grant of 25 acres from Providence.

    Daniel Comstock, Providence, 06-24-1648, and other young men arrested for giving a false Indian alarm.

    Benjamin Smith and Dan Cumbstock propounded their houses with their land to the town (Providence) for sale June 2 1655.

    Ordered (Providence) that Hen. Neale have a six acre lot laid out to him adjoining to his meadow that he bought of Dan Combstck Jan 27 1657.

    Dec 19 1658, New London has given Daniel Comstock 100 acres of upland by the Sawmill brook.

    Daniel Comstock purchased, 1664, a farm at Oxoboro near Uncasville (Hillhouse Geneal p266) some of which land remaind in the family as late as 1931. The Constock Cemetery is located on this property.

    Hempsteads Diary,p32, says "Old Goodee Comstock died Feb 21 1713" This probably refers to Paltiah (Elderkin) Comstock.

    "Dec 17 1697, Peeter Strickland receipts to his brother-in-law, Daniel Constock administrator of the estate of his father, Daniel Comstock, for twelve pounds, for Sanuel Young and Thomas Halliox of Southold, L.I. as their wives part of the estate of their father, Daniel Comstock, deceased."

    Samuel Young and Thomas Hallioz gave an order Oct 9 1696 to their Mother, Palitiah Comstock, "to Pay our patrimony due us, to our brother, Peter Strickland."

    Southold L.I. Sept 15 1688; Mary Constock witness with Anna Youngs.

    Inventory, Nov 13 1683 of estate of Daniel Comstock late of New London, deceased. Includes 150 acre bought of Mr Loveland and 100 acres above Sawmill brook, also 100 acres given by the town above Sawmill brook and forgotten in the inventory: 221 pounds, 17 shilling and 6 pence. Administration to widow "Paltiell" to bring up children, 'till Court order otherwise'.

    Daniel was referred to by some as "Gideon". He was a volunteer, 1676, in the Narragansett War.

Note:  A separate file has been created for this the original Bobbitt family of this linage. This is an extract. 

     The original of the land grant to William Bobbitt, on 10-27-1673, is in the Virginia State Archives in Richmond Virginia. This copy was obtained and reproduced for all ..... The record is from Land Grants, Book 8, page 481. The interpretation by John Bobbitt is:

    To all (to whom these presents shall come, greeting in our Lord God everlasting); Whereas (it doth please our Soverign Lord King Charles the Second); Now, know ye that, I Lord and Governor, William Berkley, (appointed by the King, Governor of this commonwealth etc.); Give, and Grant unto the said WILLIAM BOBBITT, a divident of land, containing ninety six acres, three roods, 24 poles, on the south side of the Appomattox River in Charles City County, extending as followeth. 1, beginning at a point of a hickory, near Mr Wittington, (thence along) his line and running north along said line, by a line, 1/3 of the said line, 200 poles along Major Cooper, thence along his line to a corner continueing by the same couse 40 poles to a small red oak near by Cattail branch, thence along the line 80 degrees: 80 poles to a head of a valley, to a white oak marked four ways, 80 degrees; 56 poles to Mr. Whittington, thence along his line then 20 poles along his line, northeast; by 80 degrees; 296 poles; north 6 poles; to the place aforementioned. The said land being due by transportation of two persons into this colony, to have and to hold etc. Dated on this day, the 27th day of October, 1673. Wittnesses: John Leader, Richard Tonstall.

 

    "William could not have been more than 20 years of age when he arrived into the colony. He and his wife were probably married in Wales. They had to be man & wife before the voyage in order to receive 100 acres of land as husband and wife, for making the voyage and paying their own transportation. They had no children at this time or they would have received additional acreage for each child. They were the youngest to apply in Oct 1673. The land received in 1673 is in present day Hopewell Virginia. The Sturdivant & Bobbitt family came to the colonies at the same time and were related. There is no written record but it is believed that Williams wife "Anna" was Anna Sturdivant. John Sturdivant, believed to be Anna's brother, received a land grant on Oct 28 1673. The first female Bobbitt mentioned in records was Joanna Bobbitt in 1679. Could they have had a daughter? Probably, few names of females were ever mentioned in records as they were not taxable and could not buy or sell land and seldom inherit land. Their names are seldom found except in marriage records.

    William died in 1703, a member of the Church of England. (His eldest son, William Bobbitt Jr, sold the land on May 12, 1703. The deed was recorded in Prince George Co, Virginia.) He is believed to have been buried in the church yard of the "Ferry Chapel" of Bristol Parish, the chapel was surrounded by a cemetary. The chapel was near the ferry used for crossing the Appomattox river, and for this reason was called the "Ferry Chapel". His grave has been calculated to be under the old Norfolk & Western Railroad station in the city of Petersburg Virginia. The railroad station was built on the site of the cemetary space before the Civil War.

 

    William Jr was a member of the Jones Hole Swamp Chapel Prince George Co Va. Names of vestrymen include Munford, Green, Randolph, Jefferson, Peterson and More.The William Jr was married to Mary Green.

    John the middle son was married to Sarah Green and lived in Chowan Precinct in North Carlina.

    Joanna     ???????

    James the youngest was then a mature man with land of his own in Hanover Co.

Commentary:

    A land deed recorded in Chowan Precinct NC, record #1182, pg 643 (present day Halifax NC) reads:

    "John Green of Chowan Precinct, to John Bobbitt of the same precinct, planter, on Oct 21, 1718, for the love and affection, I bear my brother-in-law, 100 acres of land, on the north side of the Morattock river, on the Camion Meadows, joining the Shokiko Meadow, and the saind John Green. Witnessed by: Robert Hicks, John Nairne." (the Green family had also been part of the Bristol Parish in Va).

    From Bertie County 1725 records in Vol 1, record book B, pg 46 reads:

    "John Bobbitt and wife, Sarah, to Zekiah Messee, on the 8th day of Nov, 1725, for ten pounds, for 300 acres of land, on the west side of the Occonecheh Swamp, anjacent to Robert Long......"

    From Chowan Precinct, book 8, pg 176 reads:

    "John Bobbitt to Barry Melton, on May 1, 1736 for 30 pounds.... for 300 acres on the north side of Maratuck river, adjacent to Zekiah Messee, deceased, on the side of the Occonecheh Swamp, being part of the tract frantd to John Bobbitt by patent for 600 actes, dated on the first day of March 1719."

    Johns will in Bertie Precinct on May 7 1736 reads:

    "In the name of God, Ahmen: I John Bobbitt being sick and weak but of perfect and sound mind and memory, praised by the Almighty God, do make and declare this to be m;y last will and testament, revoking all former wills and testaments by me at any time heretofore made.

    "Imprimus: I will that my just debts and funeral expences be first paid.

    "Item I give and bequeath unto ;my first son, William Bobbitt 100 acres of land more or less, lying in the Orraneechy Neck, where on I now live, to hold to him, his heirs and assigns forever.

    "Item: I give and bequeath unto my son Thomas Bovvitt, one hundred acres of land lying in the Orraneechy Neck and which land I bought of John Landers now tenanted to Roger Cass, to hold to him, his heirs and assigns forever.

     "Item: I give and bequeath unto my two ;sons and three daughters named William, Thomas, Grances , Mary, and Amey, my whole and sole personal estate, movable and immovable, that is money, plated, beds, furniture, pewter, iron, brass, horses, mares, cattle, and all manner of estate goods and chattels, not herin mentioned, to be equally divided to and amoung said two sons and three daughters by even and equal portions. And lastly I do here by appoint, William Bobbitt, Gobert Green , Hohn Massey and James Brogran, my whole and sole executors of this my last will and testament, revoking all former wills by me at any time hertofore made. And I hope they will be my executores as becometh honest men and Christians.

    "Given under my had and seal this seventh day of May Anno Donini 1736."

    John, and the witnesses, signed his will. John included between the first and last name his "mark", a big capital I with horizontal line in the middle. These marks were forrunners to cattle brands used in later times. A copy of this hand written document is in the Bobbitt book.

Hand written abstracts from Fed Gov records of persons applying for benifits for service in the Army of the Revolution:

"State of Illinois                                 Sept 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 Feb 1780. That he was mustered into service at that time under the command of Captain Chirstman and marched to Halifax where we were met by Colonel Allen, who took the command of the regiment. He marched us to Tarbough 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 Bluford, at which place we parted from him. We marched under the command of General Caswell to Fyettesville and continued stationed there until the last of June, at which time we were discharded.

     I was first sergeant during the whole of this campaign. I then went and worked a three month 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 vounteer under Captain George Nasworthy.

     Colonel Williams commanded our regiment and General Eaton commanded the brigade. We joined the 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 the first of Sept, 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 Dec 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 Caroliina 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 monthes. 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.

                               Signed "Isham Bobbitt"

    His son William signed as a witness

    His son Stephen went before the justice of the peace in Pike County Illinois in 1832 to make the following statement:

    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 any of the childern, 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, Winney, Stephen, John, Amey, Ganny, 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 brothers-in-laws that the said Bible has been entirely destroyed."

    On Feb 2 1833 Isham added the following to the above Court record:

    "Isham Bobbitt stated that he was born on May 3 1754 in what was called then, Granville Co NC, the county was subsequently divided and is now a new county, caller 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 appropriated by this department.

    This applicant resided in Warren County until the year of 1782. In 1782 he moved to Guilford Co NC and resided there for about seven years. He moved to Spartenburg Co, SC and resided there about fourteen years, the moved to Christian Ky 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 if 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 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 Wilderson all of whom reside in the neighborhood. He is also known by William McCord a clergyman who has alredy testified in his behalf, along with William Bobbitt."

   The name of Isham Bobbitt is engraved on a little metal plaque and placed on the Morgan Co Ill court house.

   Isham and Elizabeth were buried side by side. For many years the graves were cared for by the James Caldwell chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution.

   On June 6th 1938 Charles Holliday a great great grandson of Isham had the remains moved from the Paschal farm to the Chapin Cemetery in Chapin Ill. The following article was provide in 1979 by Susanne Elizabeth Nystrom to the author of the Bobbitt book; believed to have been from the local Chapin Ill paper in 1938:

  "NEW GRAVE MADE FOR VETERAN OF REVOLUTIONARY WAR BY A DESCENDANT"

     "As the minds of citzens in this community are recalling many events dating back to the pioneer day, none could be of more interest than that which occured on June 6th 1938 when in a quiet way the life of a partiot was reviewed.

     "Through the reverent and patriotic act of his great great grandson, Charles Holliday, the remains of Isham Bobbitt and his grave stone were removed from the "Old Jones Graveyard" on Wilbur Williams farn, (formerly the old Paschal farm) to Chapin cemetery, Chapin Ill. His wife's remains will also be removed to Chapin cemetery. The gravestone is still in good condition, despite the fact that the grave yard is not protecteed from stock and horses.

    "The Bobbitt lot in Chapin cemetery has a fine monument and is beautifully kept. On the tablet placed on the Morgan County courthoouse, the name of this patriot is spelled "Ishmil Babbitt" but his family, the histories of Morgan and Scott counties and his grave stone inscription spell his name as "Isham Bobbitt".

    "The copy on the grave stone is "Isham Bobbitt, a soldier of the Revolution Died, March 6, 1836 Aged 83 years." on the same stone, below is the following inscription "Elizabeth, his wife died, March 6, 1847, aged 91 years.

    "Isham Bobbitt has a number of descendants in Morgan county. Isham and his wife, Elizabeth, had a son William and William's son John G Bobbitt was born in Missouri Nov 6 1824 and came with his parents to Morgan Co Ill in 1829. On Dec 14 1846 he married Martha J, a daughter of Henry and Martha Newton of McLean Co Ill. They were the parents of Mary Louise Bobbitt who was born Aug 1852. She married J B Holliday May 3 1877 at the Bobbitt homestead east of Chapin. They had four children Charles and Frank of Chapin, Ralph of Springfield and Mabel Maher of Beardstown.

     "William J Bobbitt erected a grist mill on Big Branch now called Willow Branch Creek. He and his Father, Isham Bobbitt had a mill in Missouri and they brought the "burr" stones from Missiouri. After a number of years the mill burned."

(This is being written July 5 1986 the day after festivities celibrating the 100 th aniversay & restoration of the statue Their great grandaughter Ila 91 was recovering from a gaulstone operation in Oberlin Ks & being visited by daughters; Phyllis Brown & Marjorie Kristman.)

              ********************************

    In 1974 Mrs Hazel(Bobbitt) Kump of Oberlin Ks went to Liberty Nebr to see if she could locate the graves. Mrs Heim a descendant knew of a cemetery where Bobbitts were buried but the graves were covered with vines and brush.

    In 1976 Stacy Brown wrote:

    "I am Stacy Brown son of E L Brown who purchased the Old Bobbitt-Stratton farm from Maggie Curry Stratton where Liberty Cemetery is located. It had been left to the ages. The cemetery has recently been cleaned and eight stones have been reset. I have helped to move four bodies to other cemeteries before the year of 1935. Now buried in the cemetery is Dudley J Bobbitt 1838-1903, his wife Susan (Stratton) Bobbitt 1848-1925. They had nine children Alice Kegt, Elizabeth Cullen, Charlotte Brown (my mother), Mary Lechliter, Norman Bobbitt, George Bobbitt, Maude Bobbitt, Earl Bobbitt.

    "As for now only one plot with one stone marks the grave of Julia Bobbitt 1884. R W Bobbitt must be a brother of Ducley Bobbitt I have heard the names many times. I an 79 years of age. Hope this will help."

                                     Stacy Brown.

   ( Some of those moved from the cemetery were moved to Auburn Neb, exactly who is unkown.)

Commentary:

        David Lamb was the youngest son. He was age 74 in 1928 when he wrote two letters to Julia (Comstock-Morgan) Bobbitt in Oberlin Ks. The first letter was dated 05-29-1928 and the second 07-15-1928. His return address was 22 Park Street Norwood NY. I remember reading the letter as a child when in my Grandmother Julia's home not long after learning how to read. The note that contains the following information was written by me sometime between 1955 & 1960 as a note of what the letter said from the original letter I believe probably in the posession of Hazel (Bobbitt) Kump whom I had visited to look at information she had gathered in her quest for Geneology sources. Julia would have been 63 in 1928 and died of a heart attach in 1936 at age 71. I have no idea how the correspondance came about except that it was read with considerable interest by Julia's family. They had no knowledge of their Bobbitt roots at that time. This  was part of Hazels subsequently successful quest. I made several small pages of notes at the time, the source of whats contained here on the Morgans. Included was the following note to myself of what the letter said:

   "The July 15 letter says that either Presson Morgan or Sabrina Truscott are decendents of John Quincy Adams ---"

   Later information perhaps from Hazel showed that Sabrina's mothers name and her middle name was Adams.

   I was puzzeled about the spelling of Presson. My recollection was that it was not clear if it was Presson or Preston. I was also not sure about the spelling of Submitt Purchase - it seemed clear but an odd name - I've since seen it used as a surname & the name of a town.

   It is conjecture on my part that Julia was seeking information about her mothers family and that Curtis was responding to her request with his source being family bibles or such as it was very detailed with exact dates of births deaths and marrages.

   John Quincy Adams was born 1735 of John Adams a farmer who was a 4th generation decendant of Henry Adams who emigrated to Mass from Devonshire England in 1636. John Quincy was born in Quincy Mass (perhaps the name was changed) and a James C Adams in Springfield Mass.

   With names like William P Morgan one wonders if there is a connection to John P Morgan the banker. The encyclopedia shows that Junius Spencer Morgan 1813-1890 Holyoke Mass was the father of J P Morgan 1837-1913 born Hartford Conn. The encyclopedia contains many Morgans in that general area including a Revolutionary War General Daniel Morgan 1736 NJ and before that a Sir Henry Morgan a buccaneer and deputy govenor of Jamaica born in Wales 1635. Like Jones & Smith there were many with the name Morgan. The William Bobbitt from Wales of 1654 soon yielded many Bobbitts by the Revolutionary War. Relatives were joining relatives from across the Atlantic. Such names extend way back distinguished primarily by their lack of the term son sen von & van all of which mean son of. Van Johnson being John III!

             From newspaper Dawson Neb 08-24-1909:

  (Dawson is no longer on the map, it was near Humbolt which is between Verdon & Liberty in the SE corner of Nebr.)

  "While in the act of climbing onto the spring seat of a wagon loaded with apples down in the orchard of O C Ayers, last Thursday, John Bobbitt lost his balance and fell helplessly to the hard, dry ground. Mr Ayers at once rushed in his automobile to Dawson for a doctor, and a phone call was made to Humboldt which brought Dr Waggener at the same time. An investigation revealed that the hip joint was badly shattered, besides other internal injuries. Uncle John's legion of friends are hopeful that his indomitable pluck may take him over this sad mishap. It is generally conceded that his advanced age of 78 years makes the case seem a hopeless one.

   "Later: Since preparing the above paragraph for the News, word comes that death has claimed the aged sufferer at 7 O'clock Tuesday morning in Dawson, Nebraska.

   "John Bobbitt's death the morning of the Old Settlers picnic adds to the impressiveness of the fact that the sturdy old settlers who, in their vigorous young manhood, ventured into the trackless prairies forty and fifty years ago will soon have passed from the stage of action. Few indeed will have left a record for a more active life and checkered career the Honest John Bobbitt. Born in Kentucky about 78 years ago, he moved at an early age with his parents to Illinois. In the prime of vigorous young manhood he led a colony of industrious neighbors in settling the rich country around Dawson. He ranked with the most prosperous and progressive farmers of the west. Following the bent of an active mind, he engaged in the business of stock buying, and as his honest nature revolted at resorting to the "tricks of the trade", too often employed by less scrupulous competitiors, after years of hard tusseling with cattle and hogs, he found that while his neighbors were enjoying the profits of his labor, he had only bitter experiences.

   "some twenty years ago with the idea of re-establishing himself and his family on a firm basis on land, he moved to western Nebraska, where he had only crop failures. He next sifted down to Kansas, where a similar experience awaited him. Not withstanding all the business reverses and keen disappointments, Uncle John's intrepid spirit was such that he never conceived the idea of admitting that he was "down and out". Dutiful children had often tried to make him desist from self imposed cares, up to the moment of the sad accident. He was ambitious in providing a home and a competency for a graithful wife, as the most ardent and faithful lover.

   "Besides the aged wife, four sons and three daughteers are left to mourn the loss of a loving parent, who if he did not bequeath a vast estate, left a reputation for sterling honesty, something more enviable than the memory or a sordid wealth."

 

   His son Francis Marian Bobbitt preceeded him in death by three years.

   Julia died in Cortez Colo 1923. Both John and Julia are buried in Dawson Nebr. (between Liberty & Verdon Nebr)

                                                   "Sunday Aug 5th 1894

Dear Julia:

As I can't pass the day with you I will do the next best thing and write you a good long letter. How I long to have you and our little one with me. While I am hard at work of course I don't think so much about it, but when night comes and on Sunday I feel so homesick that it just seems like the time for us to see each other never will come: but Julia I must not complain for I have a patient loving little wife that is almost heart broken who has not uttered one word of complaint but has tried to be cheerful and not discourage anyone by complaining. Am I not right? And Julia if I did not see the evidence of your loving kindness and consideration I would be one of the most miserable of men for Julia you are the same to me as your was when we were married except you are a great deal dearer to me now than then. I have often thought after finishing a letter and sending it to you that you would think it cold or that I wanted to see little Ray more than you, but you understood me didn't you. I guess you would not feel jealous of me for loving our little boy. I know I have made very many mistakes and have been a poor manager but Julia if a mans strong love can atone for such mistakes you surely have the atonement. I see no pleasure here without wishing your here to share it with me. I feel sorry for you having to pack and get ready to move and come down here alone and how I would like to be there to come along with you, I believe you would enjoy the trip.

(I hope you don't think I'm silly for writing this way to you if you do I will curb my feelings after this. This part is for Mama & Ray the other you can show to the folks. A kiss & lots of love from Papa to Mama & Ray.)

I went to a meeting one night last week about 3 miles from here. They had been holding meetings for a few nights, there was a house full, it was the M.E.church.

Well Julia I will try to tell you what I have been doing. I have not finished the well that I began as I have been delayed by different things. I had to blast about two out of 7 feet of slate and when I got though that struck solid rock and then we had to find a drill and while looking for one we saw an outfit in the field putting up the hay that we was to have. We went to see about it and found that Thornton had put them in there to make the hay for him and Frost ordered then to quit and they quit, had the hay almost all down, Frost and Thornton had trouble over it almost a fight and shooting scrape. Frost would have seen it through had it not have been that he had no written contract with Thorton in regard to letting a man come on the place to put in fall wheat and if he pinched him, Thorton, about the hay he would get contrary and not let us come on the place to put in wheat, so Thornton said if I would settle with the men for putting the hay up we could have it and I did so. They finished putting it up for $1.00 a ton. There will be 15 ton or more.

It is so dry that I can't do any plowing until it rains. We had a rain the 19th that raised Mingo 4 feet but it is too dry to plow. I will go to work at making the crossing below the railroad next week.

Julia I would pack our cloths bedding and dishes just what we have to have to get along with this winter ready to ship and the rest of the things we may have to leave until I get money to pay freight on them unless they load a car. Tell Will not to forget any of my harness. Uncle Frank & Denn Mayes are here looking for a place.

You must write and tell me if there is anything you want to know about moving. Will you have money enough to pay pasturing on the horses and bring you down here?

Walter Webb was fired from his job in Tulsa and left without paying the money he owed Will and also left a board bill of $7.00. Don't know where he went.

Tell aunt Lucy to write and tell me how much land they can handle and I will try and find a place. Write and tell me what arrangements Will is going to make about moving so that I can answer before you start.

You asked if you could go up to Trents & Pilnows visiting. Of course you can go if you have time. You know that I like to have you enjoy yourself all you can. Do you suppose poor old Rover could stand the trip down here? He would be lots of help to you. Where is his leg taken off and what do you suppose did it?

F "

[The above letter from Francis age 26 was post marked Tulsa Oklahoma, and sent to Julia address Sutherland Nebr.   postage 2 cents.

Will is his brother Willis R age 34. Frank is probably his fathers sister Terresa's husband Frank Haynes age 56. Denn Mays is related via his fathers sister Malissa, Mrs George Mays. Aunt Lucy is Julia's Fathers sister age 46 married to John Gummere farming near Sutherland Nebr (20 mi west of North Platte).]

 

Francis farmed near Sandsprings Okl (the NW edge of Tulsa) where Ila was born. Due to contaminated oily drinking water the family moved west to Walthal, no longer on a map, near Ringwood (20 mi west of Enid) where Earl & Hazel were born. Francis continued to farm until he suffered an injury while plowing. He then operated a general store which included women's and men's wear with living quarters and a hotel upstairs. After making the decision to move to Oberlin they held a sale & the left-over merchandise was shipped to Dresden Ks and sold to Lance Alexander. Margaret was born in Oberlin.

After living in a rented house for a short time Francis & Julia purchased the house at 709 W Hall next to a Chautauqua Park. Later Francis built a house at 705 W Hall which was the family home till Julia passed away. Francis also built the Chris Mines home NW of Oberlin. It was while working there that Ila remembers talking over the phone for the first time, an exciting memory for her. The spring of 1906 was a cold and damp one and after Francis completed their new home he developed a bad cold which the Drs could not control. He was taken to Christs hospital in Topeka where he died Feb 3, 1906. Ila recalled; "my father was a natural musician. He owned and played many different instruments. One precious memory I have is when he played the old pedal organ while one of us kids stood behind him holding his harp in his mouth - a regular orchestra! This is a special memory because he said, 'Ila can hold it the best!' The Old Base Drum was given to the Oberlin Band."

Julia was left with five kids to support, which she did by sewing and ironing in her home to help with expenses. The family had a cow for milk, raised their own chickens, had their own garden .... There was a well in back for water and an out house for normal use and thunder-mugs for winter nights. In later years each of her kids their spouses and kids lived at Grandma's house for a brief time to get started. The grandchildren took their turns and cleaning the chicken house, hoeing weeds, etc. The stepsons worked together to add on a back porch & install electric lights. The Barclay boys knew their directions seated on the outhouse throne but lost orientation when outside. Heating was with a central stove and in winter mornings families knew the togetherness of rekindling the fire and warming front and aft sides of the anatomy from its radiant heat. There was a pendulum was clock on the living room wall that audibly ticked away time in the silence of the night. Julia had long flowing hair carried as was typical of her times rolled on top of her head. We grandkids knew her as a kind and gentle lady, it was not a surprise to find that she had been a school teacher before they were married. Grandmas room was off base to us grandkids. On occasion we were permitted to see the large picture of Grandad on one wall, he was a nice looking man; black hair and blue eyes. Julia and her kids always referred to him as Papa. Thirty years later Julia's wish to "join Papa" was granted.

To write that my Father Rell was a Banker does not convey the Dynamic wonderful person my cousin Don Kump congers to mind when, his face radiating a mischievous smile, he giggles as he tells the story of:

   Remember the time Uncle Rell took a car load of us kids from a Thanksgiving dinner at Uncle Ray's house in Atwood to a movie in Oberlin? The men wanted to play Pinnacle and us kids wanted to "go to the movie". Exasperated with our pleading, we knew & he knew he'd take us, Rell loaded us in the car and we lit out on the old gravel coated often rutty US36 for Oberlin leaving a trail of dust. We kids were grinning ear to ear to each other not minding in the least the high speed drive. Dad was chomping away at his cigar not wanting to smoke with the car full of us kids - chewing on that cigar seemed to help cope with task at hand. After a spell there was a mouth full of spit to unload - it was habitual, driving those country roads to lean his head back & unload out the window - and he did. Except the window was rolled up! It had been rolled up at the request of us kids in the back - it was windy at that clip. The "chaws worth", with thrust enough to reach the far side of the road, simply became a big splat on the inside of the window. This did nothing sooth his mood - suitable words were blocked by the tightened bite on his cigar and the presence of us kids. He simply leaned his shoulder into the mess and wiped it off on his coat! Oh but he was disgusted with himself. Us kids didn't say a word, as if this was an every get together event. In later years Don gets to laughing and it's contagious as he repaints the image of that trip. Ah but if I could only write it as he can tell it! I can even hear Dad and Uncle Lee laughing, Don enjoyed retelling it.

 

PROUD OF MY POPA

(written by Ila age 85, 03-08-1981)

Being house bound because of illness one has few alternatives; read, write and reminisce, and sit in my easy chair and watch the cars, trucks, pickups, vans and what have you roll up and down Penn Ave.

Recently my thoughts have dwelt on our first real home on West Hall next to City Park, which later became Chautauqua Park, and our new home which Papa built.

We arrived in Oberlin on June 6, 1904, after living in Dresden for two months. The left-over merchandise from our father's store in Ringwood, Okla, had been shipped by freight via Rock Island RR after selling the merchandise to Lance Alexander we came on to Oberlin. Our first rented home owned by Mr Vale was up Griffith Ave, a block south of Hi-way 36. This house was torn down years ago. Our second rented house was at 309 W Commercial, west of the Methodist Church.  Our sister Margaret was born in this house, June 15, 1905.

In the Register of Deeds office it is recorded in Book 33-330, "F. M. (Francis Marian) and Julia Bobbitt received the deed dated Oct 2, 1905 at 3:05 pm to lots 3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10, Block 19 Summit Add to Oberlin. Purchase price was $1200 - Paid $600 down; mortgage for $600." The previous owner was a Mr Witham.

It would seem that our Papa had dreams from the very beginning. Apparently he started the new house at 705 W Hall, soon after our moving to the property in the fall of 1905. In the 75 years ago item in the Oberlin Herald recently it stated "Mr Bobbitt is erecting a house east of the City Park." I remember that our Father helped to build the new Chis Mines home on his farm northwest of Oberlin, because our first telephone conversation was with him when he called from the Mines home to our neighbors the Jim Mahannas. We did not have a phone yet. What a thrill to talk to him.

     The new house was practically finished by the spring of 1906. It had been a cold, wet spring and our father had taken a cold, resulting in a condition which could not be conquered by Oberlin Doctors. He was taken to Christs Hospital in Topeka; (now Stormant Vale) where he died June 3 1906. A post mortum was performed and was diagnosed mastoid. Medical technology at that time had not reached the point of a cure. So it was that in less than eight months after our move to our home by the Park our Papa was gone. He had built for us a new home which we were all able to enjoy until we were all married and gone from home. Our mother rented out the new house for 8 or 9 years. A bedroom was added, built by Geo McMullen, as we were becoming grown up young folks, and looked forward to moving into the newer home, which we did around 1915. Dad and I were married in this house Feb 15, 1920. Our mother lived here until her death of a heart attach Sept 9, 1936.

In more recent years the house has been paneled, remodeled, to include modern facilities and is very attractive. Brother Ray built a house in between our "new house" and the one next to the Park. This old home has also been remodeld and is extremely attractive.

Our Papa was a natural musician, playing any instrument he picked up. His favorite was the violin. He bro't it, and his cornet, harpsicord and his big base drum from Oklahoma. He would play our old pedal organ while one of us held his harp in his mouth from over his shoulders. That was an "orchestra" in itself.

PROUD OF MY MOMMA

written by Ila age 86, 08-15-1982)

Sometime ago while I was recouperating from an illness my thoughts seemed to center on the home at 705 W Hall which our father had just completed before his death in June 1906.  I was married in this home and our mother passed away in the home. I had the inspiration to write "Proud of my Papa", at this time.

     I am equally proud of my Moma. It was always Papa and Moma in those days. Her parents both died in Marble Rock, Iowa, when she was very, very young. She lived with her grandparents, her Aunt Em Rosencrans and Uncle Will Comstock until she was grown. She had the courage, faith and stamina to withstand the trials and hardships which were her lot for a good part of her life.

     She taught school in Iowa and later came to Sutherland, Nebraska, to visit her Aunt Lucy Gummere. She taught one term in that vicinity. Her hand writting was beautiful. I have never seen any which was as nearly perfect. Her marriage certificate is filled out in her own handwriting. She met our father, Francis Bobbitt, who was farming in this vicinity. They were married March 23-1890. Two children, a little girl Marvel and a little boy Willie died in infancy. Brother Ray was born in Nebraska, a healthy one. Oklahoma, or Indian Territory then, was open for claims and homesteads. Wanting to try it out, our father went to Indian Territory in the spring of 1894. Mother followed later with year old Ray, driving a covered wagon. I was born near Tulsa in 1896. The family later moved to Walthal, a post office grocery store town, where Earl and Hazel were born. Then later to Ringwood, when our father gave up farming after an injury. Father and mother ran a grocery-drygoods store until the urge to come to Kansas was too great. Mother used to say "We could become nicely settled on one place, when it was up and move again". She always seemed to take it in stride.

     We landed in Dresden via Rock Island in April 1904, and on to Oberlin June 6. Then it was that Papa bought the home at 709 W Hall in 1905 and built the new house at 705 W Hall, on vacant lots. His death in Christ's Hospital in Topeka took him at such a young age, not quite 38 in June 1906. Then again our mother must muster up her courage and faith to carry on alone to care for her five young children. Sister Margret was born in Oberlin June 15-1905. Ray was 12, I was 10, Earl 8, Hazel 6 and Margaret nearly 1 year old. I can never remember "going hungry". We had three cows and chickens at our home next to the old Chautauqua Park. These helped a lot to feed us. To help with expenses mother did sewing and ironing at home for other people. At mealtime we all sat down together at the table and bowed our heads while mother asked the blessing. These are fond memories as it seemed in later years that school activities, jobs or whatever prevented us from always gathering at the table at the same time.

     Mama continued to live in the home which our Papa built until all the children had left the nest and until her death Sept 9-1936. On Sunday Sept 6, after Phyllis's 9th birthday on the 4th, we were having a family dinner at our home at 306 W Oak. The boys were enjoying a card game and we girls just visiting in the afternoon when Moma said if we didn't mind she believed she would go home. The boys wanted to take her home but being the wonderful mother she was, she insisted on walking. She walked everyplace she went in those days. She suffered the heart attach that evening. She lived until brother Earl arrived from St Louis on Wednesday eve Sept 9.

     Ila "celibrated" the 4th of July Statue of Liberty centenial with her two daughters in her room at the Decatur County hospital. She was recovering from a Gaul Stone operation some two weeks after being taken to the hospital from her room in the Good Sameritan Home where she celebrated her 90th birthday in Feb. Aug 12 she was moved from the Hospitals Extended Care Unit back to the Home. Her oldest daughter Phyllis and son visited her the weekend of Aug 17th. Lee, Jack and Cecilia Kump helped gather information on their family for this document while across the street from the Home at "Ila's" house. The next evening Darrell visited with Phyllis, Paula & George Brown at their home in Castle Rock Colo. Paula left to start her Sr year at college.

Commentary:

     Lee was raised on a farm near Jennings, moved to Oberlin and started work at the Decatur National Bank where he met Hazel Bobbitt. They were married in 1925, Lee 21, Hazel 25. In 1927 Lee went to work for Roberts Motor Co in the newly opened Ford Garage. 1927 was the last year of the Model T.

     The streets of Oberlin were paved in durable red brick shortly after WWI. The Model T a proven durable navagator of country roads was soon the primary man made vehicle about town and across the country. Garages were added to homes, alleys & streets maintained, driveways create to house this noisy mechanism that evolved from contraption to family automobile worthy of a garage. The Model T Ford was a legend in it's own time, causing roads to be built from coast to coast, the public was in love with this "Tin Lizzy" they also called "Fliver". Upon cranking her to life Lizzy literaly Flivered like an excited horse impatient to go!

    Lee became the prime mover of events at the Ford garage from parts, sales, repairs & the books; he was "the Ford man" in Oberlin almost from the begining.

     The Model A was produced from 1928 through 1931, a Model B for part of 1932 then the Ford V-8 dominated the domain of automotive engines through to WWII. The Model A's golden years were spoiled by the stock market crash of 29' and deepening Depression. While the nation endured  the great depression the midwest also coped with duststorms during the early/mid 30's. Selling cars and keeping the business afloat was not an easy task. The tales Lee can tell of mechanics, salesmen customers, circumstance provide wonderfull insight of the horseless carriage replacing the horse - of the diverse personalities about town & country - those were difficult and frequently humerous times.

     Younger Sons Don & Jack took to the Ford garage business as ducks to water, with Warren avoiding such for academic pursuits that led him to medicine.

     GRANDAD, Lee's father John, was a special person & personality. Tales of Grandad as numerous as Grandad's marvolous tales, he cast his his humor and influence on all about him. John was born 10-24 1870 in Arcadia Wis, and died, still young, at 103 6-21-1973 Oberlin Kansas. His wife Barbara Nerminger was his partner managing the operations of a farm household and raising their two boys Lee & George. Later in life after moving to town John married Claudine _________ widowed wife of a dentist. John possesed a keen mind, terrific health, and a very pragmatic positive outlook on the ups and downs of life. Warren has perhaps already documented some of the many facinating stories, like their initial arrival in western Kansas when John was age 7, starting a homestead.

     John spent an afternoon at the Ford garage visiting with Warren and I, we only spoke to keep His Story going. (The following is the essence of what John told us.)

     John's Mothers name was Frances Krizer born Hart Minn. John, his Mother and a "fresh" milk cow had a lot of "togetherness" pulling a plow to break open sod on their Home Stead North West of Jennings. This was in 1877. His father tried to manhandle the plow which kept digging deeper, pulling it out after they pulled it, they were "sawing" through sod the hard way. Persons from a wagon train passing by and showed his father how to fix the plow to run level. John did not care for the life imposed by his father on his mother. He told of how his father had lost out in the hotel business and trusting their future to a ride west to the end of the rail road for a new start. They were met by an uncle at a place called Buffalo Flats. Cowboys caught and tied up a fresh cow to feed Johns younger brother who was then a baby. The Uncle took them north and loaned them a fresh cow. They made a dugout in the side of a hill as a place to stay for the winter. After sawing through the sod they hand planted their first crop. Then Johns father left them to go to work on the Railroad being extended west to earn cash for starting the farm. As a boy John hiked over the plains looking for signs of Buffalo hunters, carrying home fresh remains to be hung up to dry to make "jerkin" as food for the winter.
