Notes for Tokia Furney: The Tokia Hobby Homeplace was the home of Tokia Furney Hobby and her husband, Jack Hobby. Jack was the son of Jesse Hobby who was a farmer and Civil War Veteran. Jesse Hobby lost sight in one eye during a 20 mile march under Stonewall Jackson in August 1862 followed by the Battle of Cedar Mountain. He was then wounded again at Fredericksburg in Decemeber 1862, but he stayed with his Company (Co. G, 14th GA -Yancey Independents) until the Surrender at Appomatox - he then returned to Worth County and farmed for 50 more years. Jesse Hobby was son of William Alexander "Alex" Hobby who was one of the 4 Hobby brothers to settle the Worth Tift Irwin County Areas. The other three were Marmaduke, Andrew and Jesse. Each of these brothers had large families and I think it is safe to say that all of the Hobby's and SW Georgia are related through these 4 brothers.
