Francis Marion Hobbs 1838-1922
Another cousin I just located, he is my First Cousin 4x Removed as his mother (Wincy Hannah Sides) was my 3G Great Grandmother's sister. Francis was born 30 Dec 1838 in Talladega County, Alabama. He enlisted as a Sergeant in Company A, Arkansas 2nd Cavalry Regiment at Fayetteville, Arkansas on 14 Aug 1863. He was promoted to 2nd Lieutenant on 9 Sep 1864 and mustered out on 20 Aug 1865 and five days later married his sweetheart, Susannah Louise Hickey (1847-1905). They raised enough children to populate Ellis County, Texas where he died at Waxahachie on 17 Feb 1922. He is buried with other Hobbs family members at Tidmore Cemetery near Martins Mill, Van Zandt County, Texas.
