Married on Aug. 18, 1853 John M Hobbs was born in Marion County, Indiana, May 26, 1831, and is the oldest son of Henry H. and Rebecca (Ballard) Hobbs, both natives of Virginia. The paternal great-grandfather of John M. Hobbs fought under King George III. Henry H. Hobbs, when young, emigrated to Highland County, Ohio, where he was married, and afterward removed to Marion County, Ind., which county he assisted to organize, and built the first house in Indianapolis. In 1836, he came to this county, where he entered 480 acres, 200 of which he cleared. He erected and occupied a cabin, from between the logs of which, on the first morning of occupancy, he shot a deer. He was a man of endurance, an expert hunter and respected citizen. He was a member of the U.B. Church, as was his wife. Henry H. Hobbs died March 6, 1852; he was twice married. John M. Hobbs assisted his father until his twenty-first year, when he began to work for himself, and saved enough from his wages of 50 to 70 cents a day to purchase his first eighty acres, a portion of his present home. On Aug.18, 1854, he married Miss Mary A. Green, of this county, born in Maryland in 1835. Five children blessed their union, four of whom lived; Columbus G, Celina C, Sarah J, and Samuel T. Soon after his marriage, he occupied a log cabin in the forest, fourteen miles from a road and surrounded by savages, since which time he has cleared from the forest 130 acres, having in all 160, with a large frame house and barn.
