Absalom Bobo

Absolom Bobo was the son of Spencer Bobo or Baubeau and wife Jane Wofford. He was born in 1730 in Culpepper County, Virginia and died. June 18, 1811 in Laurens County, South Carolina. He married, on April 17, 1784, in Virginia, Amy Sims. She was born c.1730 in Orange County, Virginia and died in Laurens County, South Carolina.

On August 21, 1772, in Culpepper County, Virginia, Absalom Bobo proves bond between William Sparks and Spencer Bobo and Mary his wife, signed January 10, 1752. William Sparks was Spencer Bobo's stepson. This legal action was probably because of the recent death of Spencer.

Absalom wrote his will in 1808 in Laurens County, South Carolina. In the will he leaves all his estate to his wife "Amey," except for some personal bequests. These bequests went to his son-in-law William Powell; the children of his daughter Betsy Gains; Roddy Waits; Peachy Posey; Polly Delph; Fanny, Sarah, Ann, Belinda, Milly, and Virginia Powell. His estate was settled May 10th, 1813. An interesting side note to the will itself is that Absalom noted that he wrote his will in the thirty third year of american independence.
