The Joanna Sturdivant question: Calvin Kyle, Bobbitt has said: We do not know the maiden name for the wife of William Bobbitt Senior, but believe it was Joanna Sturdivant and that she was called "Anna."
According to the Sturdivant Family, John Sturdivant Descendants The earliest record of John Sturdivant in the New World was in 1652 in which he was granted land in what is now Chesterfield County, Virginia. He was married to Sarah Hallom, daughter of Robert Hallom, by 1660, around which time they were living in Charles City County. John and Sarah had 5 children, All Boys, between 1662 and 1672.

The 1820 Campbell County, Virginia Census has Joanna Sturdivant, daughter of William Sturdivant, a hundred years after the wife of William Bobbett passed away.
Obviously someone made a type-O and wrote 1754 as 1674 and this is where all of this Joanna or Anna Sturdivant married William Bobbett started.

The land survey indicates that William Bobbett had a close neighbor, Mr. Whittington, and their land shared boundary lines.
Someone online asked: Who are William Bobbett's other neighbors? One of their daughters could have married him? No.
Good questions but neighbors in 1673 were few and far between and the boundary lines show this. Also, this submitter has more information of who married William Bobbett than is being shared here on the internet.
This submitter's Bobbitt family had not ever heard of our William Bobbett marrying a Joanna or Anna Sturdivant
Plus, our Bobbitt family has proven Suffolk, England heritage and has family heirlooms and traditions from Suffolk, England. We are not from Wales.
This submitter's 2nd great grandfather William W. Bobbitt wrote: "Mr. Whittington/Withington next door to William Bobbett had daughters, and he handled some of William Bobbett's affairs in Virginia. William Bobbett married one of Mr. Whittington's daughters."
This submitter's great grandmother Ida Belle Bobbitt Funk once wrote: "A Miss Whittington marrying William Bobbett would be most likely, as in my family Bible marriage record is printed Willliam Bobbet married Miss Withington/Whittington."
This submitter's cousin Barney, grandson of Ida Belle Bobbitt Funk wrote: "Francis Whittington was born in about 1624 in Nottingham, England and married Elizabeth about 1647-1650 possibly in Virginia. Francis Withington/ Whittington had sons and daughters and one of the daughters married our William Bobbet."
