James HOBKIRK married Elizabeth BEARDEN/BAISDEN in 1833, in Duval County, Florida. Unfortunately, James, who married Elizabeth, seems to have disappeared after 1844 and Elizabeth remarries to a John G. Dampier, Dampeer, or Dampyer.
It is possible that James' ancestors may have been in the South Carolina area, prior to arriving in Florida.
James and Elizabeth had the following known children:
James HOBKIRK, born 3 April 1836, in Florida
Fannie HOBKIRK, born about 1840
David HOBKIRK, born about 1842
Laura HOBKIRK, born about 1843
