I'm trying to locate descendants of the family mentioned below. Lavina Lenington was my gg-grandfather's sister. CHARLES HOBART AN ILLUSTRATED HISTORY OF NORTH IDAHO EMBRACING NEZ PERCES, IDAHO, LATAH, KOOTENAI, AND SHOSHONE COUNTIES STATE OF IDAHO WESTERN HISTORICAL PUBLISHING COMPANY, 1903 CHARLES HOBART. This gentleman is justly entitled to consideration in the history of Latah County since he assisted to open this country for settlement, has labored faithfully for its progress since that date, and has been a prominent citizen of the county, being a man of capabilities and integrity. Mr. Hobart was born in Licking County, Ohio, on November 17, 1845, being the son of Jonathan and Charlotte Hobart, who brought their young children to Iowa when he was ten years of age, settling in Fayette County. In that section our subject remained, acquiring an education, also gaining good exercise on the farm, until 1861, when he enlisted in Company C, Ninth Iowa Infantry and at once took part in the Civil war. He was with Curtis in the Arkansas campaign and participated in the battle of Pea Ridge, where he was wounded. He was at the siege of Vicksburg, also at Jackson, then in the battle of Chattanooga. When his time was completed he returned to Iowa and at once re-enlisted ! in! the same company and regiment and went to the sea with Sherman and remained with him until the close of the entire conflict. Returning to Iowa he farmed in Fayette County for about ten years, then went to Adair County, near Creston and farmed and raised stock for four years. Then he removed to northwestern Kansas and remained there until 1882, when the journey was made to Idaho. Arriving here, he selected a farm four miles east from Moscow and there settled to work, producing the fruits of the field and raising stock. Eighteen years were spent in this work, and then Mr. Hobart removed to his present place, seven miles east from Moscow. This farm has two hundred acres and is well improved. In addition to this labor, he has operated a threshing outfit for nineteen years, having had success in this line as in his other labors. On January 27, 1868, in Macomb, Illinois, Mr. Hobart married Miss Lavina, daughter of James and Elizabeth Lenington, and the following children have been born to them; James L., married to Elizabeth Decker in Nezperce; Edwin, married to Adella Denny also in Nezperce; Jacob I., married to Elvira Dollarhide and living in this county; Leona, wife of Francis Hill, in Nezperce; Clifton, at home; Nellie, wife of John K. Bruce. Mr. Hobart is one of the esteemed citizens of the county, has an enviable standing and receives the confidence of all.
