Talk:Daniel Dobbins

1850 Census

Dobbins appears as head of household in the 1850 Federal Census for Pennsylvania, living in the East Ward of Erie, Erie County. He is 74 yrs old, profession/occupation is listed as captain. His wife Mary is 68. The others in the household are William W Dobbins 48, also a captain; Mary A Dobbins, 47; Leander Robbins, 30, clerk; and Mark Dobbins, 25, clerk; plus a 15 yr old Irish girl who likely served the family. Next door was another Dobbins, probably the eldest son, D Robbins, 33, and family. --Pat (talk) 05:02, 8 September 2008 (UTC)

Nifty info. A section on "family" possibly? Assuming that it was meant to D Dobbins and not Robbins, I believe David Porter Dobbins was the son living next door. I note no mention of a Stephen Decatur Dobbins. --​​​​D.B.^{talk•contribs} 04:17, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

Oops on the Robbins misspelling. I can look for Stephen if you like. I never know how much census info is good so I usually post it to the talk page if there is an identifiable author or group of Wikipedians hovering over the page. Not much of my census data was gleaned for the state park article, I'm afraid. --Pat (talk) 21:22, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

You can if you want, but I found it interesting that Decatur wasn't mentioned. From what I could tell, he never had a good relationship with his family and only contacted them when he needed to be bailed out of trouble. I doubt he's notable enough for his own article.

I little off topic but their planning to create an article with it, but they seem to be busy. Dicher seems to be writing things on Penn State sports and Ruhrfisch is getting another one of his covered bridge to featured. --​​​​D.B.^{talk•contribs} 01:41, 11 September 2008 (UTC)
