James Dabbs

https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Dabbs-25

The grandfather of our Joseph Dabbs may be this James Dabbs: James Dabbs and Edward Palmer were transported to Henrico Co. Virginia by John Greenhough. James settled on Four Mile Creek and was probably the father of Rebecca Dabbs and Joseph Dabbs.? (1) The researcher citing this information states that this James Dabbs may have been born circa 1630 in England and immigrated on December 6, 1652. Rebecca Ann Dabbs is said to have been born in 1654 in Henrico County, Virginia.

This same researcher states that the son of James Dabbs was Joseph Dabbs, born circa 1674 in Richmond, King & Queen County, Virginia and died circa 1754 in Lunnenburg County (Will book, p. 172). From a Rohlfing-Spurgeon Family tree, source not stated, the researcher believes that this Joseph Dabbs married, circa 1700, an Ann who was born circa 1674 in Richland, King and Queen County, Virginia. Their children are said to have been: Joseph Dabbs born circa 1705 in Lunnenburg, Goochland County, Virginia; Ann Dabbs, born circa 1716 in Charlotte, Virginia; and William Dabbs, born circa 1738 in Lunnenburg, Goochland County.

In the 1991 History of Jersey County, Illinois, it was stated that our Dabbs family were descendants of a Dobbs family of Antrim, Ireland, that the Dobbs castle is still standing in Ireland. In the Jersey County, Illinois publication, The Red House 150th Anniversary 1834-1984, the entry for Dabbs states: The Dabbs family of Jersey County were the descendants of a Dobbs family of Antrim, Ireland. The transposing of hand written records in an early census led to the change in the spelling of the name. The Dobbs castle is still standing in Antrim, Ireland. The first ?Arthur? Dobbs, one of the four Dobbs brothers, was commissioned by the Queen of England to be the Governor of a province in America that is now the state of North Carolina. His descendants migrated into Kentucky, Missouri and into Jersey County in 1836.? Research on this Dobbs family indicates that we are not related.
