John Bobbitt, the second son of William and Anna Bobbitt, is identified with Chowan Precinct in North Carolina because he was the first of the family to live outside Virginia.[1]
In 1703 at age 25 and while still living in Virginia he married Sarah Green, sister to Mary Green, the wife of his older brother William. In 1704 John and Sarah's first child, a boy, was born and named after John's father William who had died the year before. They eventually had five children, two sons and three daughters.[1]

DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Sarah by comparing test results with other carriers of her mitochondrial DNA.
However, there are no known mtDNA test-takers in her direct maternal line.
It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with Sarah:
Massey Genealogy 2000 states that Frances Bobbitt (Bobbitt-353) married John Massey (Massey-2493), and that she was "reported dau of John and Sarah Bobbitt, sister of Robert Green."
?? The Bobbitts reference says that Mary's sister Sarah married William's brother James. And this post says John of Chowan's wife was Sarah Owen, not Sarah Green.
