Dobbs County, NC, no longer exists. It is now within Wayne County, which includes Goldsboro, NC. The postulated parents, Dempsey Griffin and Sarah Walker, were also born in Dobbs Co. She died in Dobbs/Wayne, and he died in Edgecomb Co,, NE of there, a county that also come up often in Griffin/Griffith research.
Dempsey's postulated parents, John Griffin III and Sarah Hartt, both died in Edgecomb County. Sarah was born there, John III in Chowan, which is east of Edgecomb, on Albemarle Sound.
John Griffith II (note change from Griffin) and his wife Mary Hardy also died in Edgecomb Co. He was born in Chowan, like John II, and she in Isle of Wight, VA, which lies north of Chowan NC.
Then going back to John Griffith I, we find that he was probably born in Isle of Wight, VA and he died in Chowan, NC.
Beyond that, we have postulated John I's father to be Owen Griffith, who died in Isle of Wight, VA, ad who may have been born there, or else in Wales.
