Biography

Amy was born in 1730 or 1716. She passed away Sept. 10th, 1823 (Record from Old Wait Bible; see "Death" note below).

Amy is the daughter of Thomas Sims, wife of Absalom Bobo, mother of Nancy and others: Will of Thomas Sims, Brumfield Parish, Culpeper Co, VA: In 1784, Thomas Sims made a deed of gift to his daughter Amy Bobo, wife of Absalom Bobo, and to his granddaughter Nancy Powell. Amy inherited, "a negro woman by name Cate, and all of her Children [i.e. Cate's children], and I desire if John Sims lives with Absalom Bobo and his wife [Amy] until he comes of age they may give him one of the Negro Children if they see proper, This Negroe woman Cate and all her Children, and all that fell to her by Division is to her and her heirs Lawfully Begotten forever." Probated 18th day of July 1785, and is of record in this office in Will Book "C", page 129, Given under my hand this 23rd day of November, 1934. C.T. Guinn, Culpapper County Clerk of the Circuit Court [Online at Ancestry.com: Virginia, U.S., Wills and Probate Records, 1652-1900; Culpeper > Mixed Records, Vol C, 1783-1791]

Death: Records from Old Wait Bible, online at Findagrave Memorial #7502126. (This source has been at two previous web addresses, both of which are now defunct. Luckily, I found the same record that I have now posted at Findagrave.) In the notes below the burial info there is a box that says, "Read More." Click on that on you will see the Bible record.

Note: Absalom's & Amy's daughter Nancy Bobo married Wm Powell and one of their daughters, Rhoda, married Phillip Wait. The Bible is on this side of the family. It records both Absolom's and Amy's deaths. There are no others in the Bible's records with the surname Bobo.
