Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Dobyns-Cooper and Allied Families: Of Ballou, Bramble, Coulter, Credit, Duval, Henry, Kemp, Henry, Lyon, Norwood, Perry, Pierce and Taylor In October, 1906, the junior author of This work had a pamphlet printed on another branch of this family. The object in getting out this pamphlet, which is similar in scope, is to give those interested an early opportunity of using such information as has been obtained. At a future date it is hoped that the two publications may be combined, along with information still to be obtained, and printed and bound in a manner which may be more suitable and lasting. With the names of the allied families presented in the title, we have only mentioned female members of the Dobyns family who have become allied into other families by marriage. Inasmuch as the greater portion of this history is given to the descendants of James Dobyns and Sarah Cooper, sister to the great grandfather of one of the authors, it was also thought advisable to incorporate her name in the title. The history begins with the first Dobyns who emigrated to America. A pamphlet has already been printed giving the history of the descendants of Jacob Cooper, brother of Sarah Cooper Dobyns and great grandfather of the joint author, W. F. Cooper. In presenting this information, we have followed a chronological order for the members of each family, with the direct descendants of each person down to the present as far as possible. This arrangement is facilitated by reference numbers and back references, as will be observed in the text. We trust that it will serve the purpose quite sufficiently. First Generation (In America). 1. Edward Dobyns was born in England, December 7, 1747. He landed in New York and moved into Culpeper Co., Va.
