It seems I am a descendant of William Bobbitt, Sr. from Wales, England, who took a land grant
in Virginia Colony. 
However, the information I received in the past and the lists I find here confuse me. 

My information states there were three brothers who came from Wales and took on the following names: 
Edward Bobbett,  Robert Babbitt, and William Bobbitt.
Edward Bobbett & Robert Babbitt stayed in the north.
William Bobbitt went south to Virginia.
William Bobbitt had one son named Thomas Bobbitt, will was probated and recorded in Sussex Co., VA
in Record Book "A", page 116, on January 19, 1859 and he was married to Mary Hill. 
Thomas had three sons: John, Randolph, and William; he may have had other children as well. 

These three sons served with distinction in the Revolutionary War. 
John and Randolph were to have moved to Pittsylvania County, and William moved to the 
western part of Virginia or what was known as the Valley of Virginia that included 
Rockbridge County and related areas. 

The only other names I have been given dated from 1875-1959 which doesn't seem to be 
included in your genealogy 
-- at least when I've read of it so far. 

I will have to see if the individual I received this from has found out anything more, 
but till then I thought I'd ask if any of the following names are familiar to you. 

William Terry Bobbitt 1875-1953 Nannie Catherine Towler 1875-1951 
Children: Lula Blanche Bobbitt, Ola Lee Bobbitt, Grady Haden Bobbitt, Willie Albert Bobbitt, 
Hullett Lloyd Bobbitt, 
Henry Allen Bobbitt, Jesse David Bobbitt, Vernie Odell Bobbitt, Melvin Arnold Bobbitt

My grandfather's name was David Albert Bobbitt and my father's name was Obed Bobbitt (
born in Lynchburg, VA, I believe) 

Thanks.
