After the Revolutionary War, some members of the famous, mostly doctors, Jackson family moved to Madison, WI, where they helped establish city institutions including Methodist Hospital and the Jackson Clinics, now Meriter Hospital and two of them married into the Hobbins family, which like them included doctors and surgeons, bank founders, and well known business leaders. Madison's Dr. William Joseph Hobbins served in the infamous Wisconsin Eagle Regiment as Maj Doctor Surgeon, with Step Son later Doctor Surgeon James A. Jackson (Dr. Will was also his step son Dr. Jim Jacksons's Medical Studies Preceptor at WI and also at NYU's Bellevue Medical School) as Regiment Hospital Steward. Dr.. Will's brother in law was GAR Federal Paymaster Colonel James Mears at the appt of Governor Randall and President Lincoln. Will's older brother Dr. Joseph Wm Hobbins served at Camp Randall as Wisconsin's Chief Doctor Surgeon in charge at Camp Randall mustering camp. 70 000 of Wisconsin's 90 000 Civil War fighting forces trained and were medically cleared for service through Camp Randall in Madison, WI. Towards the end of the War of the Rebellion in April and May 1864, a large CSA force surrendered to GAR troopers at Island 10 on the Mississippi River. Camp Randall was briefly converted into a makeshift prison camp, with the Confederates shipped up the Mississippi to wthe Wisconsin River, to Sauk City, and then by rail to Madison. Dr. Jos Wm Hobbins was then tasked with treating the arriving 1400 Confederate soldiers, about 200 of whom were seriously ill from pneumonia, 65 of whom passed away and are buried at Forest Hill Natl Cemetery in Madison. Dr.Joseph Wm Hobbins and brother Dr.. Wm Jos Hobbins were trained Royal Doctors of Great Britain and were advanced in sterilization techniques and sanitary advances coming from the Royal Medical Academys from which they received their Royal medical training and certifications. These advances were implemented in the Civil War, and well before from British Medical advances in Croatia and other earlier British combat battlefield experiences predating the War of the Rebellion. These two men sought to establish, and did establish with the help of Dr. Will Hobbins' efforts to train his step son Dr. James Albert Jackson to become a famed Doctor Surgeon in WI and Bellevue at NYU University of Wisconsin's first medical college (a 1st effort that failed), founded the Wisconsin Horticulture Society and Madison Literary Club, President and Doctor Surgeons founding Wisconsin's St George's Society under charter approved by the Wisconsin Legislature. Other Hobbins' offspring founded many of the state capital's first banks, such as the American Exchange Bank (1st German Bank (Fred Suhr) merger) with many preserved historic family homes on Mansion Hill. James R Hobbins, son of Mary and Joseph W. Hobbins traveled to Butte, MT with his nephew John Suhr Hobbins who married a local girl, Margaret Perham, and return to Madison as 1st Cashier at the American Exchange Bank, later to become Vice President with older brother Wm Suhr Hobbins as President. James R. Hobbins started as post hole digger for Anaconda and later became CEO of the corporation, CEO of Union Pacific Railroad and sit on the Board of Governors for the New York Federal Reserve. In the early 1900s, Mary (Mears) Hobbins (married Joseph William Hobbins son of Will Hobbins) promoted, fought for, raised funds and founded the city's first hospital Madison General Hospital, and founded the Badger Chapter of the American Red Cross.

A book detailing the Jackson Hobbins blood lines, 300 Years American, by Alice F. and Bettina Jackson chronicles some of these sons and daughters of the American Revolution dating from Jamestown to the 1950s.
