I get a number of emails from people either enquiring about
specific Bebbs, or passing on little snippets of information
about Bebbs. These are likely to be of interest to somebody.... I've
been meaning to get around to collating them on here, and this
page represents the first attempt at that. I imagine it will grow,
and end up quite long.
I'm happy to add further information and contact requests here,
as well as gradually clearing the backlog that I have already

I have been trying to organize the papers I have collected on
the Thomas
family. When I looked at the 1860 Census, Cambria Township,
Cambria Co,
PA, living with my grandfather, John R Thomas, a cooper, was
Thomas
Bebb, age 22, cooper, born in Wales.
I'm assuming they were in business together. Could this be any
connection of yours? Calista
You might want to add Maurice R. Bebb (1891-) to your
discussion of
famous Bebbs. His etchings, mostly of birds, are fairly well
known in
the U.S, and I occasionally still find them in galleries...
There's also a Bebb cousin (once removed) of mine in Chico, CA,
who gets
credit (or blame) for inventing Chico-San "rice cakes."
I don't know if
that's something worth highlighting...or hiding.
Note that Edward Bebb's Civil War Medal was the Congressional
Medal of
Honor--the highest possible award, period. Usually awarded
posthumously,
for acts in the "saving-the-platoon-by-throwing-oneself-on-the-grenade"
category. I'm not sure how "capture of flag" fits...
Also note that there is a "Bebb Willow" (willow salix
bebbiana
(spelling?), named by Robert Bebb, native to riparian areas of N
America, although I'm successfully growing a potted one in my
backyard
in arid San Diego.
BTW, if I can add my vote (and a little intrigue) to your just-for-fun
bever-tooth Bebb poll, not only were my front teeth a bit large (until
a
dentist ground them down a bit), I have always been equipped with
only
two front teeth, not the usual four. Since my father (H.B. Bebb)
and
several other of my Bebb relatives are also missing their upper
lateral
incisors (as I think they're called), this must be some sort of
recessive genetic trait...add this trait to the classic (around
my
family) chubby Bebb cheeks, and there may be a grain of truth in
a very
direct Beber/Beaver derivation of Bebb..

there were ports and ship building. The Dee was a busy river many
decades ago, more important than Liverpool!

[Una's family came to Ohio from Wales. She would very much like to find the name of the ship that they came on. If you can help, please email her on rabyn@socket.net ]
But my GGG William Bebb came to America
with some children in either 1815/1816 as the record shows. I
know that my
Edward ( GG gpa ) left Ohio and came to Iowa I believe if memory
serves me
correctly 1852, this is written in a book by family on the Evans
side,
Margaret Evans married this Edward my GG gpa...I have two books
on our family
and the Governor of Ohio William Bebb and many of the people that
came to Ohio
in those days from Wales. wonderful books.
This is some info that may pin point my GGG William Bebb and Ann
Evans.:
Wm Bebb B:1780 in Llanbrynmair...Married Ann Evans 1804 in Wales
Died: Oct 2, 1852 Paddy's Run renamed Shandon, Oh
Wife Ann Evans..M;1804 at 24 years of age.
Born: 1780 Wales D: Mar 30th 1849 age 69. at Shandon, Oh
They came to America to Shandon, Oh in 1815/1816 from
Llanbrynmair, Wales in
the Parish of Montgomery
The Parish records includes nearby Carno, Wales
Wm Bebb was Naturalized on Sept 8th 1828 Butler Co, Oh
Records of 1820 Census Chandon Cemetery records New London in
Butler
County,Oh. They came over I believe with three son, maybe William
was a Baby
on that trip from Llanbrynmair, because Edward and Thomas I
believe were older
than William....who died very young shooting fireworkd for the 4th
of July and
is buried also at Shandon Cemetery. I think they all are buried
there even
some grandchildren of GGGgpa Williams.
Hi. I'm looking for genealogy info on Thomas BEBB who married
Elizabeth
"Betsy" DeArmond in (I think) Butler Co Ohio around
1836 or so. The LDS site
says that Edward and Margaret Evans Bebb were his parents, but
they have LOTS
of errors, and somewhere on your site I read that Edward and
Margaret had
only 3 children - the governor plus (per someone on Ancestry.com)
Evan
Roberts Bebb and Mary Bebb Vaughn. No Thomas.
But the DeArmonds were in Butler Co, and so, I would assume, was
Thomas Bebb.
In fact, my DeArmond family sources say that Betsy and Thomas
remained in
Butler Co and were buried at Shandon.
I'm mostly just curious about this puzzle. My ggrandmother was
one of
Betsy's younger sisters.
Thanks.

Elaine is looking for Barbara Bebb:
Barbara Bebb, married Jim/James Gillard and had Jeremy Gillard.
Jim Gillard was the son of Francis Gillard (born 1902) and Vera
Trow.
Jim and Vera lived in Treorchy. Jim was one of 11 children whose
father was James Gillard (1870 - 1947) and Margaret Kate Davidge.
Pam Perryman is looking
for Bebbs from Newtown:
"My maternal grandmother, Mary Ann Bebb (b. May 25, 1841, Newtown, Wales - d. May 7, 1880, Massachusetts, USA) emigrated to the US in the 1860's with her husband Thomas DAVIES. A great aunt had done some genealogical research on the family which revealed the following:
Mary Ann had siblings, all born in Newtown
John O. Bebb, Oct. 1836-Apr. 1923, was a fifer in the Welsh
Guards before coming to the US, an expert wool carder whose first
American employment was in Mystic, Conn.
Many of his descendants lived (and still live??) in the Amsterdam,
NY area. I'm trying to contact them now:
The parents of these siblings were John Bebb and Mary Owens (Mary d. between 1852 and 1865?), married on Feb. 3, 1832 in Newtown. I think Mary is buried in St. Mary's, Newtown.
John Bebb's parents were Jeremiah and Mary Bebb. Jeremiah ran a woolen mill in Newtown, according to the great-aunt who did the research back in the 1930's. There was something cryptic in her notes about a disagreement about a farm, someone being /feeling? cheated and leaving Wales. Aunt Annie's notes have been lost over the years, so I'm relying on memory here.
That's as far back as I can take our Bebbs. I have an enormous family tree of the descendants of John and Mary Ann Bebb Davies (who remarried in the US to an Owen Jones and had more kids). Any connection to your Bebbs???
Alison Skipper is looking for Mary Bebb's family:
I have recently been sent some information, from the US, about a newly-found branch of my tree and am wondering if you have come across a Bebb whom is mentioned please? The Bebb in question is Mary, who married Francis Jones and had Jane on 6th Jan., 1840, and Evan F. on 7th March, 1836. It seems as though the Jones family emigrated from Wales to the US about 1841.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
