Biography

George was a Friend (Quaker)
This profile is part of the Siler City, North Carolina One Place Study.
1776 Project
Capt George Hobson Jr performed Patriotic Service in North Carolina in the American Revolution.

George Hobson was born about 1716, possibly in Chester County, Pennsylvania. He was the son of George Hobson and Elizabeth Lindley[1] who are first documented in Frederick County, Virginia in 1732 (see father profile). This George Hobson is noted as 'junior' in extant records in Virginia.

First Marriage

George married Hannah Kinnison on or after 8 August 1732 in Chester County, Pennsylvania:[2]

George Hobson, of Burlington County, New Jersey granted marriage license August 8, 1732 to marry Hannah Kinnison.

It may be read that after marriage they lived on Mill Creek, Maryland near the Virginia state line (now West Virginia).[3]

On 2 November 1743, George's parents (George Sr. and Elizabeth Hobson) gifted to him 600 acres of land, surveyed the day previously by Alexander Ross. George later conveyed part of this land back to them on 5 March 1744.[4]

To North Carolina

George is recorded in Orange County, North Carolina by 1755.[5] Hannah's transfer certificate to Cane Creek Monthly Meeting was received 5 Feb 1757 from the Goshen Monthly Meeting.[6]

Second Marriage

He married second, Rebecca (Unknown). Very little is known of Rebecca. It is assumed that she was younger than her husband George and therefore born after 1716. George's first wife Hannah (Kinnison) Hobson is last recorded signing a deed in August 1760. Rebecca signed a deed in 1761 as the wife of George; their marriage can be inferred to be in late 1760 or 1761. George and Rebecca were noted as residents of Orange County, North Carolina.[7]

Revolutionary War Service

Service: Patriotic - took Oath of Allegiance 1779 in North Carolina. [8]


He passed away about 1797.

Land Records

Land Patent No 663 in Orange County, North Carolina, 2 Feb 1761, "Lying on the Forks of Rocky River." 620 Acres, Grant No 53, Bk 14, Pg 416.[9]

Research Notes

There is a memorial for George and wife Hannah Kinneson Hobson at Rocky River Friends Cemetery, citing "Pioneers of Rocky River". It does appear to be flanked by two old markers, but further research needed to verify. [10]

DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with George by comparing test results with other carriers of his Y-chromosome or his mother's mitochondrial DNA. However, there are no known yDNA or mtDNA test-takers in his direct paternal or maternal line. It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with George:

SJ, propose we change the suffix to Jr rather than III. In Virginia records the father is seen as Sr and this George is seen as Jr until the move to North Carolina.

How does this profile escape the review of profiles underway of the 1776 project?

In notes it states Template:1776 where is the word "Sticker" and then "American Revolution." which are now expected... How does this escape detection by the error police?

@ Eric - thanks for the note, I'll annotate the profile. This is an inherited profile and I have not yet gotten to developing the bio and proofing the data. Please feel free to edit it as you see. On that note, I need to leave a memo on inherited profiles that folks have permission to edit. Thanks.

You may want to read the source you quote. The death you have in New Jersey does not match this profiles residence in Orange County North Carolina.
