Roy Lee Dobbs was born March 3, 1889, in Texas, son of Thomas Jefferson Dobbs and Virginia 'Jennie' Degraffenreid. The 1900 Federal Census for Township 6, Indian Territory (Choctaw Nation) shows Roy L. Dobbs, age 11, born in Texas; living with his widowed mother, Jennie, a farmer, age 28; born July 1871 in Texas; and his siblings: Eliza E., age 13, born February 1887 in Texas; and Hugh T., age 7, born March 1893 in Oklahoma.
The U.S. World War I Draft Registration Cards shows that Roy Lee Dobbs registered for the draft on June 5, 1917, in Speairs, Oklahoma (Bryan County). He gave his full name; his age as 28; his current address as Durant, Oklahoma; his birthplace as Durant, Oklahoma; his closest relative as a wife and two children; and his occupation as a farmer.
Roy married Minnie Midkiff who was born January 21, 1893, in Tennessee, daughter of Edward J. Midkiff and S. Ludie. Roy and Minnie ultimately would have four children: Theo, Jule 'Judy', Ed Jefferson, and Tessie M. Hobbs.
The 1930 Federal Census for Durant, Oklahoma (Bryan County) shows Roy Dobbs, an independent stock dealer, age 42, born in Texas; and his wife, Minnie, age 38, born in Tennessee. The census shows that Roy and Minnie were age 20 and 17, respectively, when they married. Living with them were three children: Jule 'Judy', age 15; E. J., age 12; and Tessie M., age 10; all born in Oklahoma.
Roy was part-owner and manager of the Abbott and Dobbs Mule Barn located at 116 North First Street in Durant, Oklahoma. In 1949 the Supreme Court of Oklahoma handed down an opinion in Dobbs vs City of Durant discussing the law of nuisance as it applies to agricultural operations in Oklahoma. In this case, Roy Dobbs operated a mule sale barn in downtown Durant where he conducted his business of buying and selling mules. Dobbs had operated this business successfully, providing a valuable service to the surrounding community for 17 years. The trial court found that the sale barn's operation caused unusual odors and noises to interrupt the neighboring downtown businesses. Upon appeal to the Oklahoma Supreme Court, Justice Corn held that a mule barn within a city is not a nuisance per se, but that the mule barn was a nuisance because of the fact that it was located where it was located.
Roy's wife, Minnie, died in July 1970 in Bokchito, Oklahoma (Bryan County) and was buried in the Highland Cemetery in Durant. Roy died in May 1974 and was buried beside his wife.
