Research Notes:
Elizabeth is shown as a daughter of this couple based on the following communication [22]:
The first record of John Bobbitt was a deed of land, as a gift to John Bobbitt from his maternal grandfather, Timothy Dalton. The deed was recorded in Halifax County on January 6, 1764. "Timothy Dalton, and Elizabeth, his wife, of the County of Bedford, and John Bobbitt of Halifax County, for five shillings, paid by John Bobbitt, for 160 acres of land, on the north side of Pigg River, being the plantation whereon the said John Bobbitt now lives." The small payment of five shillings was a token payment used to have the deed recorded as a legal gift. Timothy Dalton was the father of Elizabeth Dalton Bobbitt, mother of John Bobbitt.
John Dalton is listed here as a son because among the dna matches of Robert Wolfe there are several descendants of John Dalton who have dna matches with descendants of other children and ancestors of Timothy Dalton. We know of no direct evidence that John Dalton was a son of Timothy, other than coincidence of time and place and that a John Dalton was named in the estate account of Timothy Dalton. We seek other documentation or dna evidence about this potential relationship.
