Sampson BOBO's family moved to Craven (later Spartanburg
County), South Carolina around 1773, following a similar grant
from the King of England.
"George the Third, by the Grace of God, of Great Britain, France
and Ireland, King, Defender of the Faith, and so forth, To all
whom these Presence shall come, Greeting: Know Ye, That We, of
our special Grace, certain Knowledge and mere Motion, have given
and granted , and by these Presence for Us, our Heirs and
Successors, DO GIVE AND GRANT unto Sampson Bobo, his Heirs and
Assigns, a Plantation or Tract of Land containing four hundred
and fifty acres in Craven County on a small branch the waters of
Tyger River Bounded on all Sides by Vacant Land_______and hath
such Shape, Form and Marks, as appear by a Plat thereof,
hereunto annexed.........Given under the Great Seal of Our said
Province: Witness His Excellency Lord Charles Grenville Montagu,
Governor and Commander in Chief in and over Our said Province of
South Carolina this Eleventh Day of February Anno. Dom. 1773 in
the thirteenth Year of Our reign. Signed by his Excellency the
Governor in Council, Montagu"
(from a copy of an original document in Grant Book 28, p. 261,
and certified by Frank O. Thornton, Secretary of State for South
Carolina)
...surveyed 1 April 1772 by James Wofford and the plat delivered
21 October 1774 to James Samples Jr. for Sampson Bobo. (Leonardo
Andrea #11)
The family of Lewis BOBO settled in Berkley (later Union)
County, South Carolina, around 1770 following a receipt of a
royal grant of land.
No record of a land grant to Spencer, Jr. has been located.
However, his name does appear as an adjoining land owner on the
plate of Ezekial Backler in Craven County-in 1775. The
appearance of his name on his document indicates that he had
purchased lands in that area before 1775.
An additional son of Spencer BOBO, Absalom would wait until
after the war to remove to South Carolina. His first purchase of
land must have occurred before 1791, when he sold (for
30-pounds-sterling) 250- acres in Laurens County, South
Carolina, to John Frederick Harmoning situated "on the draught
of Cedar Shoal Creek, the waters of-the Enoree River, and
bounding N.E. on Sampson BOBO.
This would leave by 1790, one son of Spencer BOBO, Gabriel BOBO
in Virginia and his sole daughter Mary Elizabeth BOBO, now
married to John HOLT and residing in Orange County, North
Carolina, since the 1700's.
The first federal census occurred in 1790, and its data reflect
the following:
Absalom BOBO residing in Laurens County, South Carolina, with no
sons over-sixteen, no sons under sixteen, and one female, and
three slaves;
Sampson BOBO, residing in Spartanburg County, South Carolina,
with 2 sons over sixteen, five sons under sixteen, and four
females;
Spencer BOBO, Jr., residing also in Spartanburg County, South
Carolina, with no sons, and two females; and
Lewis BOBO residing in Union County, South Carolina, with two
sons over sixteen, one son under sixteen, five females, and two
slaves."
Lewis and Sampson had some land transactions in Bute County,
North Carolina as early as 1769. From the records it appears
that Sampson lived for a short time in Bute County, North
Carolina before migrating to what is now Spartanburg County,
South Carolina."
Due to boundry changes Orange/Culpepper & Caroline counties, the
Bobo’s live in the same areaas counties
changed.Source:"Huguenots in the Back Country: The Bobo Family
of France, VA, & SC by Bryan Scott Johnson
On 11 May 1786 Sampson Bobo awarded "Four pounds. fourteen
shillings, and three pence farthing...for Militia duty, since
the fall of Charleston in Brandon's regiment." (McCall, James,
Auditor General, Revolutionary Claims Index Book, Aug. 20, 1783
and Aug. 31, 1786. Copied by Janie Revill, Genealogical
Publishing Co., Baltimore, MD, 1964)"

From New Jersey Biographical Sketches, 1665-1800 Name: Richard
Stockton Bio: "His son Richard removed from Flushing to
Piscataway, and thence (in 1696) to Princeton, buying 400 acres,
and in 1701 bought of William Penn 4,450 acres more, in and
about the present Princeton.
He died in 1709, leaving six sons--Richard, Samuel, Joseph,
Robert, John, Thomas. His estate being divided soon after, the
homestead, now known as "Morven," fell to John, who became an
influential man in the community. He was a Judge of the Somerset
Common Pleas, and was a warm friend of Princeton
College.--Princeton and its Institutions, by John F. Hageman,
I., 33-9.
Richard Stockton, son of John, was born at Princeton, October 1,
1730, was one of the first class graduates from the College of
New Jersey, in 1748, studied law under David Ogden, was licensed
in 1754 as an attorney, in 1758 as a counsellor, and in 1764 as
sergeant, his practice meantime becoming co-extensive with the
Province, and even reaching beyond its limits.--Ib., 78;
Provincial Courts of New Jersey, by Richard S. Field, 192; Life
of Com. Robert F. Stockton, 9-10; Sketch of Life of Richard
Stockton. by William A. Whitehead, N. J. Hist Soc. Proc.,
January, 1877; Rules of Supreme Court, N. J., 1885, Appendix, by
G. D. W. Vroom, 54, 59.
In 1764, writing to his former law student, Joseph Read, he
suggested as the readiest solution of the troubles between
England and her Colonies the election of some bright Americans
to Parliament (Reed's Reed, I., 30); but a year later, during
the controversy over the Stamp Act, he took the positive ground
that Parliament had no authority over the American Colonists; so
rapidly did public sentiment develop in those times.--N. J.
Hist. Proc., 149. In 1766 he went to England, where he spent a
year, mingling in the highest circles, and had much to do with
persuading Dr. Witherspoon to accept the Presidency of Princeton
College.--Hist. of College of N. J., by John MacLean, I., 297,
385; Provincial Courts, 192-6. Appointed to the Council in 1768
(see ante, page 59), on the recommendation of Governor Franklin,
he stood so well with the Governor that six years later he was
commissioned one of the Justices of the Supreme Court, as above,
to succeed Judge Reed, removed to the West Indies.
The affairs of his country were evidently on his heart and mind
during these troublesome times, and under date of December 12,
1774, he drafted and sent to Lord Dartmouth "An Expedient for
the Settlement of the American Disputes, humbly submitted to the
consideration of his Majesty's Ministers," in which he suggested
substantially a plan of self-government for America, independent
of Parliament, without renouncing allegiance to the
Crown.--Historical Magazine, November, 1868, 228. He retained
his position in the Council until the end of royal government in
New Jersey, and attended the meetings of that body as late as
November 24, 1775.--Minutes Provincial Congress, etc., 323.
He was elected to the Continental Congress, June 22, 1776.--Ib.,
473. Six days later the New Jersey delegates took their seats in
Congress, in time to hear the closing debate on the Declaration
of Independenc, and Mr. Stockton is said to have made a "short
but energetic speech" in favor of the measure.--Works of John
Adams, III., 53-8; Field's Provincial Courts, 197. While he was
still attending to his duties in Congress, a large number of his
friends and admirers at home favored him for Governor, and on
the first ballot in the Legislature (August 30, 1776) the votes
were equally divided between him and William Livingston, who was
chosen the next day.--Minutes Joint Meeting, passim; Sedgwick's
Livingston, 205-6. Gordon alleges this whimsical reason for the
preference: "Mr. Stockton having just at the moment (of the
ballot) refused to furnish his team of horses for the service of
the public, and the Legislature coming to the knowledge of it,
the choice of Mr. Livingston took place immediately."--History
of Revolution, ed. 1789, II., 108. The true reason doubtless was
that it was thought best to have a man of some military
instincts in the Governor's chair, and Livingston was then in
camp. Be that as it may, the Legislature the same day (August
31) elected Mr. Stockton to be the first Chief Justice of the
new State, but he declined, preferring just then the more active
career of a Congressman.--Minutes Joint Meeting, passim;
Sedgwick's Livingston, 206. On September 25, 1776.
Congress appointed him on a committee of two to visit the
Northern army, and he set out immediately. He was greatly
affected at the unfortunate condition of the patriot soldiers.
Writing from Saratoga, October 28, to Abraham Clark, he says the
New Jersey soldiers were "marching with cheerfulness, but great
part of the men barefooted and barelegged. My heart melts with
compassion for my brave countrymen who are thus venturing their
lives in the public, service, and yet are so distressed. There
is not a single shoe nor stocking to be had in this part of the
world, or I would ride a hundred miles through the woods and
purchase them with my own money."--American Archives, 5th
Series, II., 561, 1256, 1274.
