He married ELIZABETH SPENCER WHITE, widow of James White, before 23 Oct 1703. ELIZABETH and James appear to have been involved in the importation of immigrants to the colony, and had received at least one land grant (23 Oct 1703) for that reason. It is unclear what their role was in this endeavor, but it was common practice among the early settlers to pay for passage of immigrants in exchange for working their plantations, and often granting land in exchange for their labor. While there is no further record of GABRIEL, ELIZABETH'S name continues to appear in several land records until 1724. At lease one of these refers to land that can be identified as being about 10 miles west of GABRIEL'S homestead, in Caroline County, that county being divided from King William County in 1728. 7 Nov 1700 GABRIEL Robert Nash granted 350 acres in St. Stephen's Parish, New Kent Co. for transporting GABRIEL BAUBAU and six others into the colony. (New Kent Co., VA Patent Book 9, pages 281-2). 19 Feb 1703 ELIZABETH ELIZABETH WHITE makes gift of 1300 pounds of tobacco a horse and 100 acres. ("about a quarter mile below BUBBOES's house") to each of her sons Thomas and James (by late husband James White. "The land being 200 acres of land given me by my father Thomas Spencer of King and Queen County." Witnessed by GABRIEL BUBAU. (King William Co.,VA Patent book 5, page 17). 23 Apr 1703 GABRIEL Samuel Williams and Daniel Coleman granted 600 acres in King William Co., "between Williams and BUBBOES plantations." (King William Co., VA Patent Book 9, page 549). 1703 GABRIEL Married to ELIZABETH SPENCER White. 23 Oct 1703 ELIZABETH ELIZABETH BUBBOE, widow of James White, receives grant of 250 acres in King William County for transporting 5 people into the colony.

October 1992 Issue Page 7 King William City, Va. ELIZABETH BOBO listed on 1704 Quit Rent Rolls. Note: Apparently ELIZABETH BUBBOE is again a widow with a bouncing baby boy, Spencer Bobo. Some researchers give him the name Francis Spencer Bobo but I have seen nothing to indicate that Francis was part of his name. King William City, Va. Patent Book #12, Pge 250, August 17, 1725. A deed references ELIZABETH BOBOS land. Note: Caroline County, VA, was established in 1727 and took that part of King William County in which ELIZABETH BOBO lived. Orange County was established in 1737. |
