About Ruth Hobbs
From The Shelby Exchange, Trollinger's too, by Judy Trollinger:
http://www.trolinger.com/judy/This-That.html
I'm finding a lot of wrong data for the SHELBYs across the Internet - ESPECIALLY among the various databases that are now available. I'm also beginning to recognize a lot of my own research scattered through them-without me being mentioned--
No telling at the moment just what all I'll place here-but want to at least try and counteract the worst of the wrong 'stuff' -based on original documents.
...
No, Evan and Catherine did not have a daughter Mary/Hannah married to Vincent Hobbs.

Vincent Hobbs' Unproven Wives
From somewhere in the past, someone stated Vincent's first wife was Mary Hannah Shelby, daughter of Evan Shelby who immigrated with Vincent Hobbs. There has never been any proof presented for this marriage.
From the Shelby family histories I have seen, Evan Shelby was born in Wales in 1690. He married Catherine Morgan. They were first documented on a deed July 1735 in Lancaster Co. PA. Then they were listed July, 1739 in Prince George Co., MD. There was a baptism listed for Mary Shelby in Christ Church in Philadelphia, age 3 weeks, on 6 Sept 1735 -daughter of Evan and Catherine Shelby. Her tombstone listed her born 28 Aug 1735 and died Nov. 1813. There is a record for Mary Shelby's marriage to Col. Adam Alexander in 1750 in her brother General Evan Shelby's home. There were six children born to this marriage.
The main evidence for Ruth Thomas comes from a pension paper for Job Hobbs, who stated his mother was Ruth Thomas. No other evidence provided. Job Hobbs was born about 1759 in MD.
Then, there is another theory concerning how the Mary Hannah Shelby marriage rumor started. Vincent Hobbs Jr. married a Hannah, proven by court and deed records. One deed stated her name as Hannah in the body of a deed, then the signature was written as Mary. There is no record of Hannah’s maiden name.

Biography
Ruth was born about 1720. Ruth Thomas ... She passed away in 1808. <ref>First-hand information as remembered by Rodney Gross, Sunday, August 17, 2014. Replace this citation if there is another source.</ref>
Vincent Hobbs, Sr.'s (first?) wife, Mary Hannah Shelby married Vincent in Maryland in 1742, and is listed as his wife in a Court Order of 26 MAY 1800. Ruth is the acknowledged mother of Job Hobbs (born 1759). This casts some doubt on the validity of the marriage of Ruth and Vincent, Sr. This profile is a collaborative work-in-progress.
