Since Joshua and wife Elizabeth sold land in Frederick Co., Md., in November 1786, it is interesting to note that their marriage bond is recorded in Nelson Co., Ky., on 4 Apr. 1786. They must have journeyed back to Maryland in that same year to dispose of their lands.) Other than the cases of daughters for whom consent appears in marriage bonds, family tradition is the only basis for most of the following children being assigned to Joshua Hobbs, although in the case of Eli's family there is the fact that the name Joshua occurred quite frequently among Eli's descendants, and six others of the following children attributed to him also had children named Joshua.
