James M. Hobbs was born in March 1849, likely in Gilmer Twp., Adams Co., IL, to John Rice and Martha Jane (Thomas) Hobbs. His parents were both born in Shelby Co., KY, and moved to Adams Co., IL. John Rice and Martha Jane were married on Nov. 1, 1835 in Adams Co. Martha J. was born in 1818 - 1819 and died in November, 1863 in Columbus, Gilmer Twp., Adams Co., IL. John R. was born in 1816 - 1819 and died on July 13, 1864 in Nashville, Davidson Co., TN. James M. was the 7th child of a family believed to have 9 children; Isaac H., Mary A., John T., Sarah E., Lucinda, Sharlotte A., James M., William H. and Thomas J. Not much is known of Sarah E., Lucinda or Sharlotte A. and it is believed that they died young and no written records of them have been located.
Due to the death of the parents the family was left penniless. After the civil war ended the kids headed west and spread out over Missouri, Kansas and Nebraska. It appears that John and Mary Ann (Hobbs) Roseberry took care of the younger kids until they could take care of themselves.
In the 1850 U. S. Census, we first find James Hobbs living in Gilmer Twp., Adams County, IL with his parents. He was listed as being one year of age in the census, which was conducted on September 19, 1850.
From the U. S. Census, we know that in 1860 James M. Hobbs was living at home in Gilmer Twp., Adams County, IL with his parents and was listed as being 11 years of age. James could not be located in the 1870 U. S. Census. In 1880, James and his wife, Susan, were living in Independence Twp., Nodaway Co., MO. The 1880 U. S. Census lists him as being 31 years of age and farming as his occupation. Susan, born in IN, is listed as being 30 years of age and her occupation is keeping house. Marriage records show James M. Hobbs married Susan Owens on December 1, 1871 in Nodaway County, MO.
On May 26, 1884, James M. Hobbs married Mary A. Jennings in Broken Bow, Custer County, NE. The license shows James being 34 years of age, born in IL, residing in Eudell, Custer County, NE, with his parents being John Hobbs and Martha Thomas. The license shows Mary being 18 years of age, born in IA, residing in Eudell, Custer County, NE with her parents being John C. Jennings and Lucinda Newton. In July 1887 they had a son, James Clifton Hobbs, who was born in NE. For at least part of his life he lived with relatives, Owen and Susan McCarty. He passed away at a young age, on March 12, 1907.
In 1900 we find James living in Nodaway Twp., Nodaway Co., MO, with his sister and brother-in-law, John and Mary Roseberry. This U. S. Census lists his DOB as March 1846 and lists him as being widowed.
A deed of trust, dated the 8th day of March 1904, and recorded in the recorder's office in Nevada, Vernon county, Missouri, shows James M. Hobbs, an unmarried man, buying the SE quarter of the NE quarter of section 33, in township 35, range 29, situated in Vernon county, MO. This tract contained approximately 40 acres and was situated approximately 3.5 miles west of Virgil City, MO .
The next time we find James is on July 12, 1904 when he is marrying Mrs. Mary Cline in Nevada, Vernon County, MO. His address is given as Virgil City, Vernon County, MO and Mary's address is given as Sheridan, Worth County, MO.
James passed away on October 19, 1904 and was buried in Virgil City Cemetery in Vernon County, MO.
