It came from the N. C. State Archives, so it must be the only copy that they have, and, again, it would seem it would be a case of a misspelled word; DOBBS/DABBS. I believe the name, JOSEPH NOBBS, should have been JOSEPH DOBBS. With the spelling in old (or sometimes, newer) documents, it is no wonder to me that the name could be misread. As of yet, I have not come across the land grant made by the king. I am still looking for it. The reason for my thinking is due to the locations shown, and the people named in the deed. They were around the DABBS FAMILY in Anson County. Also, I have never known of a family of NOBBS anywhere, much less in Anson. I can be wrong, as I have said before, and would like to know if I am. Also, I think this JOSEPH DOBBS/DABBS was the person who was a boat-builder; lived closeby the PeeDee River during the Revolution (in Darlington Co./Dist., Cheraws Parish), and was a Captain and killed during the War. He served in Northeast St. David's Parish Volunteer Company under Captain Robert Lide. This JOSEPH DABBS had come from Virginia to North Carolina. JOSEPH DABBS was the husband of HANNAH KOLB (B. C1753 in Cheraw). JOSEPH DABBS was known as JOSEPH DABBS II. HANNAH KOLB'S father was an officer in the Revolution and was also killed during a visit to his home, which was on the PeeDee River. His home was set on fire, and during he and his family's escape from the burning home, he was killed. The children of HANNAH (KOLB) & JOSEPH DABBS are reported to have been: WILLIAM DABBS, NANCY DABBS & SAMUEL DABBS. As before, I have retained the spelling, punctuation, but omitted the double-spacing.
