CHAPTER X
MISCELLANEOUS
This chapter includes both unconnected and partially connected families and those inadvertently omitted from the earlier chapters or connected too late for inclusion in the earlier chapters.
--------------------------------
¶513 DANIEL3 DOBYNS (DANIEL2, DANIELI) (from ¶24) may have been the son of DANIEL2 DOBYNS, Jr. who died before his father's will was drawn and who is not named therein. Little is known of DANIEL3 DOBYNS. The inventory and appraisal of his estate were made on 14 May 1741 by NICHOLAS SMITH, Jr., CHARLES BREEDLOVE, RICHARD BUSH, and DANIELL DOBYNS. (fn 502) DANIEL DOBYNS signed the administration bond of the estate of DANIEL DOBYNS which was proved 19 May 1741. (fn 503) It seems probable that these two DANIEL DOBYNSs were father and son.
--------------------------------
¶514 EFFIE7 GORDON (WILLIAM LEONIDAS6, SARAH5, FREDERICK4, EDWARD3, CHARLES2, DANIELI) (from ¶382) was born in Madisonville, Ky. and died there in 1942. She married ABNER S. JOHNSTON, b 1867, d 1943 at Madisonville. (fn 504)
CHILDREN were

CORDELIA G.8 JOHNSTON
MARTHA GRAYSON8 JOHNSTON
NINA GORDON8 JOHNSTON
ABNER CARLTON8 JOHNSTON
--------------------------------
¶515 FRANCIS MARION DOBYNS has not been definitely connected with this family, but is included to preserve a Bible record which has come to the attention of the authors, who hope that some future researcher may be able to make the connection. He was born on 17 Feb 1834, possibly at Flat Gap, Ky. The Bible was presented to him on 7 Aug 1859 by MAHALA DOBYNS. He died on 25 June 1917 and was buried at Brandon, Colorado. On 4 Aug 1864 he married (1st) CAROLINE WOLFORD, who died on 3 May 1876. Then on 3 Dec 1877 he married MARIAH MAGEEHON, who died on 5 Aug 1927.

--------------------------------
¶516 LEROY5 DOBYNS (probably HENRY4, WILLIAM3, CHARLES2, DANIELI) (from ¶221) was born, according to a Bible record (fn 505) on 1 Sept 1784, probably in Richmond Co. Va. It seems likely that he was a son of HENRY4 DOBYNS of Richmond Co. and SARAH FRESHWATER his wife. There is no certain record of his father, but WILLIAM3 DOBYNS, father of HENRY4 DOBYNS, left a will (see ¶220) mentioning his grandsons LEROY DOBYNS and CHICHESTER DOBYNS who were to [Begin original page 147] divide a third part of his estate between them. A record (fn 506) exists showing that CHICHESTER5 DOBYNS was the son of HENRY4 DOBYNS, leading to the tentative conclusion that LEROY5 DOBYNS, mentioned above jointly with CHICHESTER DOBYNS, was also a son of HENRY DOBYNS.
Before he died on 31 Aug 1868 LEROY5 DOBYNS was married five times. By Richmond Co. marriage bond (fn 507) dated 19 Dec 1808, where he was listed as LEROY DOBYNS, Jr., he married (1st) POLLY NORTHEN, with the consent of EDWARD J. NORTHEN, guardian of the bride. EDMUND NORTHEN was surety for the bond. According to the Bible record, MARY "POLLY" NORTHEN was born on 4 June 1792, was married on 22 Dec 1808, and died on 21 July 1821. By Mason Co. Ky. marriage bond (fn 508) dated 24 Oct 1821, he married (2nd) on 25 Oct 1821 MIRANDA ASBURY, who died on 3 Jan 1822. Then by Mason Co. marriage bond (fn 509) dated 16 Dec 1822, he married (3rd) on the same date SEYTHA CHINN, born 31 July 1788, died 19 July 1847, daughter of RAWLEIGH CHINN. Then (4th) by Mason Co. marriage bond (fn 510) dated 17 Jan 1848 (listed, probably incorrectly, as 1847) he married on 18 Jan 1848 ELIZABETH CHINN, born 17 Nov 1797, died 28 July 1849, a sister of his third wife. Then (5th) by Mason Co. marriage bond (fn 511) dated 6 Nov 1850 he married on that date JOANNA BERRY, a widow, born JOANNA SE, who died on 7 Jan 1856, aged 69.
