Coat of Arms actually belong to a specific
individual, there are no family crests. "In heraldry, dexter and sinister are determined, not from the point of the view of the onlooker, but from that of the bearer of the shield." - p.104, _A Complete Guide to Heraldry_, A.C. Fox-Davies, Bracken Books, 1929 |

Robert McDaniel Bobbitt, a descendant, and one who did much research on the
Bobbitt family, found
that the home of Stephen Bobbitt Senior was built in 1773 on Ben's Creek, soon after
Stephen acquired his
first land. Over the oak mantle in the home was carved a Bobbitt coat of arms, which
contained the symbolic "Oak Leaves".
