Hobbs from SW Va. - however, he married a Honaker woman from Russell Co (about
1860) and at least one of his children was born in Russell Co. (George). If anyone is
researching the Honaker families and has a John Hobbs in your family research, please,
email me. Thank You. I visit this site at least once a week, thanks Russell Co.

father of Isaac V. Hart. Second was Joseph Branham-Smith. When did she marry
B-Smith, when did he die? How did Cook die? Family tradition says Julia "did him in"!
