Good Mornin'
I'm still looking for the parents/siblings of William Perry HOBSON who was
born in Marion County, IN on 20 July 1841, according to the family bible.
He lived in Clinton County from about 1853 until he left in 1861 to fight
in the Civil War for the 3 Month sign up period. He then married Mary Jane
CHASTAIN in Aug 1862 in Burget's Corner, Clinton County, and reenlisted 2
days later. He was mustered out in June of 1865. Apparently, his wife lived
in the Zionsville, Boone County area during the time he was gone as his
pension papers gives her mailing address in 1865 as a post office in
Zionsville. In Sept 1878 they were living on a farm in Scircelville,
Clinton Co., per his pension application. He was the first chartered
Commander of the Joe Hooker Post, No. 97, G. A. R. on 28 Aug 1882. William
and his family left IN and moved to Pratt, KS in 1884.
