William Hobson (21 NC) was living with them, but would have been born about 1829, when Stephen would have been 19 years old, before he is said to have married Mary.

Elizabeth A. married William A. Price in Andrew Co MO on June 14, 1860. The 1860 census lists him as a 44 year old man, born about 1816 in NY, with 6 children. At 26, Elizabeth had become step-mother to Almyra 17-MO, Lucretia 15-MO, daughter M. A. 13-MO, William C. 11-MO, James W. 9-MO, and Edward 4-MO.

Elizabeth's father, Stephen H. Hobson, died in 1880.

1834: Thomas married Kisiah Reece on 18 December, 1834 in Surrey County NC. The Hobson-Reece Bible calls her "Riziah". They stayed in North Carolina through the births of son Hadley J (1836), and daughters Mary Jane (1837), and Sarah Ann (1839). But by the 1846 birth of Margaret E. Hobson, Thomas's family was living in Missouri (possibly Andrew County).

1847: Thomas and his family were living in Andrew County, MO. Thomas died 2 August 1847 just short of his 36th birthday. He was buried in the Union Grove Baptist Cemetery (tombstone photos, below) in Empire township of Andrew County, MO. Sarah Ann's future husband, William Henry Wood, went to the Union Grove Baptist Church. Thomas's family may have worshiped there.

1850: For the federal census, Kisiah Hobson was listed at 618-610 with her four children, Hadley J (b 1836 NC), Mary Jane (b September 12, 1837 NC), Sarah Ann (b November 8, 1839 NC), and Margaret E (b 1846 MO) plus Susannah Allen (b 1829 IL). They were living in Platte township of Andrew County MO.

1853: Mary Jane Hobson (1837-1916) married Reuben Andrew George (1832-1902) in Andrew County, MO. Reuben Andrew's family also lived in Platte township of Andrew County.

1855: Sixteen year old Sarah "Ann" Hobson married William H. Wood on December 27.

1857: Sarah "Ann" died several months after giving birth to Fallis Jones Wood on January 11 1857. Fallis died on March 14 1857, and Sarah Ann died October 5 1857 in Rockport, MO while she was still 17. (per William Henry Wood and Family.)

1859: Kizziah Hobson married William SULLANGER (Sullenger?) in Andrew County on 1 November 1859, per Marriage Records 1856-1870.

1867: On July 12, 1867, Keziah's children were named in a deed concerning their father's land. Uncle Stephen H. Hobson was the guardian of Margaret E. Hobson, who would have been about 21. Besides Mary Jane Hobson George, two other heirs were listed in the deed. They were Nathein (Nathan) Hobson and Sarah Jane Hobson, and their guardian was Thomas Davis. They were Kizzah's son Hadley and his wife Rebecca Ann Davis Hobson's children. Thomas Davis, (1813 Surry Co NC - 1876 Glenwood, Mills Co, IA) was Rebecca Ann's father.

J. S., a member of the Missionary Baptist Church, was a farmer, first renting land and later owning 240 acres in Platte Township of Andrew Co MO.

In 1861 as a resident of Andrew County, J. S. enlisted with Company A of Colonel Kimble's Regiment of Missouri Cavalry. He was discharged after 6 months because of poor health.

J. S. Reece married Martha Allen on October 2, 1862. They had 2 sons, S. F. and J. B.. While the boys were still very young, Martha Allen Reece died on January 20, 1868. J. S. Reece married Mrs. Rhoda (Vestal) Holcombe on February 1, 1870, and they had two sons, Frederick and Oscar and two daughters, Maud and Nettie. Rhoda already had a daughter, Jurusiah Holcombe from her first marriage.
Was Alves F. REECE who married Huldah M. MACKIE on November 15, 1859 in Andrew County, MO, any relation to J. S. Reece? Alves F. REECE died April 3, 1882 at the age of 44 (born on or about December 31, 1837) and was buried in the Daily Cemetery. Was Hulda any relation to Mary's brother-in-law Simon MACKIE?

Simon Mackey was 30, born in NC (1820) [Simon McKEE in 1860]
Eunice was 28, born in NC (1822)
Columbus was 7, born in NC (1843) [Christopher in the 1860 census]
Melinda was 6, born in MO (1844) (see some 1860 speculation)
Bridget A. was 4, born in MO (1846) [Ann in the 1860 census]
William was 2, born in MO (1848) [still William in 1860 census]
Margaret was 10 months old, born in 1849 [still Margaret in 1860 census]

Eunice died October 28 1853 in Andrew Co MO (aged 33y 4m 14d) and was buried at Union Grove Cemetery as was her brother, Thomas. (see Tombstone, below) Note that this Eunice is not Eunice Hobson, buried in Hobson Cemetery.

Simon is listed in the 1860 Andrew Co Census as Simon McKEE, aged 41 (born 1819) NC, which agrees with the Daily Cemetery information below. He had remarried, to a wife named Sarah (36-KY), but I wasn't able to find the record in Andrew Co. Columbus was now called Christopher, 18-NC. Melinda who would have been 16, wasn't listed in the census with her family. But I think she was Melvina REECE, 16-NC, living with her 22 year old husband, Franklin REECE next door to Simon McKEE, her step-mother, and siblings. Bridget A. was now called Ann, 14-MO. William 12-MO and Margaret 10-MO are next in the census, followed by Thomas 4-MO, George 3-MO, and Mary 1-MO. Elizabeth 12-MO and Josephine PANCE (could this be REECE?) were living with Simon and Sarah.

The 1860 census showed Simon lived next door to the Jno. VESTAL's who lived next door to Thomas (b 1796 NC) and Rebecca HOBSON. Their daughter, Jemimia D. HOBSON VESTAL, had died June 22 1859 (born Jan 6 1840), and their son-in-law, Daniel VESTAL was living with them, along with his 3 year old son, Thomas H. VESTAL, b Jan 6 1857 - d Dec 22 1881. Daniel married Ellen BROWN on March 7 1861. Ellen, b Jan 22 1844 - d Apr 13 1862, died only a year after marrying Daniel. From cemetery records, it seems that Daniel married a third time, perhaps to Sarah BENNETT, per Marriage Records that said David VESTAL and Sarah married about the 24th of March 1863. Daniel and Sarah had at least one son, Francis M. VESTAL, b Dec 23, 1867 - d Mar 21 1868. These 5 VESTAL people were buried in the Hobson Cemetery, Andrew County, MO, as were Thomas and Rebecca HOBSON's daughter, Eunice HOBSON. Note that this Eunice is not Eunice Hobson Mackie, buried in Union Grove Cemetery.

Next door to Thomas HOBSON (b 1796 NC) was William REECE (b 1833 NC) and family. Stephens DAVIS from NC lived next door to him. Franklin REECE (22, NC) and his young wife Melvina (16, MO) were Simon's other next door neighbors. Nearby was William McKEE (39, NC) with his wife and children.

Rev. Simon MACKIE was buried in Andrew County's Daily Cemetery. He died June 24, 1893 - 74 yrs 4 mo 13 days.
Sarah MACKIE, wife of S. M. MACKIE d Apr 24, 1900 - 76 yrs(?) 8 mo 4 days, Daily Cemetery
Blanchie MACKIE, 1 mo 6 days dau of F. M. and M. E. MACKIE died Dec 23, 1887, Daily Cemetery
