My mission is to find all the descendants of Kedar Dobbs, our Revolutionary War Soldier Ancestor. My genealogy investigations have taken me from New England to Spokane, down through California and into Texas, Utah, around Kentucky and Indiana, and in my own back yard, Washington D.C., Baltimore, and Richmond, Va. I have talked to 2nd, 3rd, and 4th cousins all over the country and celebrate each and every one because we are an interesting and dynamic bunch. My place in our genealogical family is this: Rosemary Dobbs, George Whipple Dobbs, Jr., George Whipple Dobbs, Sr., Charles Dobbs, CEW Dobbs, William Drewery Dobbs, Willoughby Dobbs, Kedar Dobbs.
