Hobson Genealogy - Eastern North Carolina
Welcome to my Hobson web pages. This name is also spelled Hopson and may be connected to the Hopton surname as well.
My most recent Hobson ancestor is Rebecca Hobson (c1808-1862) who married Richard Roberts ca 1824 in Wayne Co., NC. Rebecca appears to be a child of Henry Hobson (bef 1765-c1813) and Fairlise Braddy who married 1801 in Duplin Co., NC.
Henry Hobson's parents are unknown.
