Joseph was born June 16, 1834 in North Carolina to the parents of John F and Elizabeth Dobson. The first records I have of him is from the 1950 census. He was living in Carroll, Georgia not to far from his future wife Mary P Burns.Mary was the daughter of Benjamin C and Nancy Burns. Benjamin C Burns owned a large farm in Georgia. It had a $2500 value in 1850.
I have not been able to find where or when Joseph and Mary were married. Their first child George W. was born in Arkansas around 1857 so I'm guessing they were married around 1855 or 1856. Joseph moved to Arkansas with the Mary's family between 1850 & 1857. On July 1, 1859 Joseph applied for a land patent in Arkansas. He purchased 237 acres in Hempstead County. His in-laws also applied for land patents at the same time.

There was a message at the bottom and it was hard to make out.I think it says:
"WEEP NOT PAPA AND MAMA FOR ME FOR I AM WAITING IN HEAVEN FOR THEE"
The headstone was in bad shape.
