"My sources for his birth location:
His WW II Draft Card gives the county of Limestone.
His brother, who was one year older, was born in Mexia.
Fidelah Hobbs, Jr.
MSgt. US Air Force ~ World War II, Korea, and Vietnam
October 24, 1922 - April 4, 2008
------------------------------
In recognition of his lifetime service in the US Army Air Forces and the US Air Force, MSgt. Hobbs was laid to rest with honor at the Sacramento Valley National Cemetery.

Sources for his birth location were submitted by Michael Elaine Calvin- Salisbury (48613097) as follows:
His WW II Draft Card gives the county of Limestone.
His brother, who was one year older, was born in Mexia.
His mother died in Mexia.
Their church was in Mexia.
The family had lived in Mexia for at least 20 years.
So I figured he must have been born in Mexia.
(His father wasn't a traveling preacher or anything like that.)

So I accepted his edit with thanks.
