Box 7735, Des Moines, Iowa 50322 HOBSON AND REECE BIBLE RECORDS From the Bible of William Hobson, Yadkin Co, North Carolina. In the late 1860's Martha Jane, the youngest child of William Robson, brought the Bible with her to Iowa. After she or some of her children had added the record of her own family on the four pages, there were no spaces left. A few entries were written in the margins. To make this of greater interest to our readers, a granddaughter, Miss Mattie Reece, 619 Euclid Avenue, Des Moines, Iowa 50313, owner of the Bible, has added, in parentheses, data from other sources which include letters to descendants, the autobiography of Charles S Reece and Hobson Genealogy by David.
