4. Lydia Hobbs, b. 22 Dec. 1786, d. 19 Oct. 18__, m. 8 Jan. 1801, Nelson Co., Ky., William J. Bayne, b. 7 Sept. 1776, Md., d. 8 Apr. 1859, Larue Co., Ky., both bur. South Fork Bapt. cem., Larue Co., Ky.

There is a problem with the age of Lydia in that a transcription of her tombstone and the 1850 census indicate that she was born in 1786, which would make her the daughter of Joshua Hobbs's marriage to Elizabeth Briscoe and she would have been only 14 when she married. This is not impossible, but the 1860 census indicates that she was born in 1784, and she did not name any daughter Elizabeth (unless the one who m. Joseph Hargan in Hardin Co. in 1830 is theirs), while the first one was named Margaret. Until some more facts are discovered, the identity of Lydia's mother is open to question.

     Some descendants say that Lydia and William Bayne had '''12 children''', but only''' nine''' have been ''proven''.  There are marriages of three other women listed as daughters of a William Bayne, but they are not listed in the deed by which the nine sold the family farm.  The early marriages (before the formation of Larue Co. out of Hardin) are in Hardin Co.  They are Margaret Bayne m. 25 Aug. 1830, Archibald Reid; Elizabeth Bayne m. 20 Mar. 1826, Joseph Hargan; Sarah Bayne m. 7 Feb. 1825, James Lamkins.  Kentucky Genealogy and Biography, Vol. I, p. 23, gives the biography of Benjamin J. Hargan, b. 1832, Hardin Co., Ky., son of Daniel Hargan, b. 1804, and Susan Middleton (dau. of Henry Middleton, b. 1772, and Elizabeth Bayne, so it seems quite likely that the Joseph Hargan who m. Elizabeth Bayne is at least of an associated family.  The Benjamin Hargan family lived in Larue Co., Ky.)
