The profiles under this profile Edmond Bibby, I are out of place in space or time or both. The Eastern Shore Bibby family was very small at first, represented only by Edmond Bibby (m. Frances Hunt, c. 1653, and had only two children before he died c. 1660) and his sister Elizabeth, who survived horrendous mistreatment as a foster child to marry George Freshwater.

His daughter Elizabeth disappears from the records (if she married, we don't know whom), but his son Edmund did a little better, adding four sons and two daughters to the family.

Meanwhile across the Bay, some Bybee cousins had settled in and begun to prosper. The precise connection between them is at this point undetermined.

Hit a bit of a snag here. Backfilling the Bybees from Byram Lee Bybee, the Mormon pioneer, I find that Thomas Bybee, I is probably *not* a son of John Bibby of Northampton County, VA. There is no room to squeeze him in.

Probably he belongs to the "mainside" Bybee group after all.

Bybee immigrant ancestors?

* Beeby Jo[hn] Speedwell 1635
* Beeby William Tristram and Jane 1637

The latter, at least, came as an indentured servant, signed over to "Mr. Arthur Haslerto[n]", who seems to have been an immigrant from Durham, England, and a landholder in Old Rappahannock County, Virginia. http://ancestrylibrary.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/4813/~/...

Found out why it's so hard to trace the Bibbys - they left Virginia. But they didn't go west across the bay - they went north and east, to Delaware.
