Some notes on Cincinnati Bebbs and burials in Spring Grove Cemetery , extracted by Joan Asboth about 1998. Sarah and her husband Nathaniel Bebb, who died as a result of a drowning accident, are of particular interest to Joan.
Sarah Bebb was born in Meifod, Wales on 25 September 1823. Her parents are listed as Nathaniel and Elizabeth Bebb. Sarah was married to David Jones who was born in Wales in approximately 1818. I believe he drowned at age 49 in 1867, Cincinnati, Ohio, and left Sarah a widow at age 44. She lived to be 97 and died 5 March 1920 in Cincinnati. Her burial at Spring Grove Cemetery was ordered by John Elias Jones.
There are a number of other Bebbs buried in Spring Grove Cemetery (4521 Spring Grove Avenue, Cincinnati, OH 45232-1954. Tel (513) 681-6680 - fax (513) 581-1497 - They charge US$.50 per copy of buried certificates. Here is the information of some of the Bebbs, many showing Wales as their birthplace. I have no idea how these are related, but they may fit into a bigger puzzle.
