Need info on parents and other family of my gg grandfather, Josiah (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.

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.

I am a descendant of William Shook who was born in VA and married Catherine Sears. They moved to TN and. made their home in the 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 Anthony Reagor parents of 9 children; William, Jr. 12/11/67- 1840 approx – married Elender Waters parents of 10 children; Abraham Shook 1770-1850to1860 married Mary Donaldson; Isaac Shook; Sarah Shook born 1774 died soon after 1850; Jacob Shook 12/17/1777-12/22/1834 married Eleanor Veach, parents of 7 children; Magdalena married Samuel 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?
