They raised a famiy of nine children, my grandmother, Lottie Jain, being their last born.

Please contact me if you have family ties to this family. Thank you, Lottie Hendricks

I have GED file with George Hobson I (1658-1736) m 'Lydia' (Does ANYONE know Lydia's last name??!) to the present. Include Oborne/Burgoon (MGPa) and Cary/Johnson (SPGPa)

I have been researching Milton Bell Case, his 2nd wife Elisabeth Hobson and Their daughter (#4) Rosa Novella Case.

Rosa married Vett S. Reed. They had a son, George Edward.
Vett moved west and first settled on the banks of Lake Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. They later settled in Washington.

George Edward Reed married Lillie Ann Greenman in Spokane, Washington. One of their sons was named Vett H. Reed, born in Washington. Vett H. Married Caroline Ann Costich and they had two sons and one daughter. My Sister married their oldest son and they had two girls. I found your message board post and noticed you have complete dates of birth for everyone you listed. Your date of birth for Rausa Novella matches the date of birth that I obtained from a family member. Would you please let me know if you have the records or citations for all the dates? I try not to list an exact birth date in my tree, unless I have a record or citation for it.

Please reply yes or no and I will send contact information.

Thank you, Fishrmn 42

fishrmn42 - I am a CASE from Milton Bell Case's brother's branch. Although I don't have specific documentation re: Rausa/Rosa's birthday, there is probably enough census material to substantiate a year, if not a month, of her birth. Good luck!

Your sister's children are descended from two Revolutionary War patriots from New Jersey. If they are interested in authenticating their line, they are eligible for membership in the National Society of Sons/Daughters of the American Revolution!
