Son of Gabriel Beaubeau or Baubeaux and Cathrine Rivault of France. Entered the American Colonies in 1700 under the Virginia headright system (Name appears as Gabriel Baubau; Sponsored by Robert Nash). [Source: Nugent, Nell Marion, "Cavaliers and Pioneers", Abstracts of Land Patents and Grants, Vol. 3, 1695-1732, p. 38-39]

Married Elizabeth Spencer White c.1702-1703.

His name does not appear in court or land records after 1704 and some speculate that he died about that time, though there is no conclusive proof either way. [Source: HUGUENOTS IN THE BACKCOUNTRY: THE BOBO FAMILY of France, Virginia and South Carolina, by Bryan Scott Johnson, Huguenot Society of South Carolina, Transaction 100, 1994]. Likewise, there is speculation regarding the number of children he fathered.

Note: The French name Beaubeaux became Anglicized in the colonies and appears in various phonetic spellings, finally as Bobo.
