He worked on a farm and attended school in the winter until 19 years of age, when he journeyed to California and engaged in the sheep business for six months. He afterward went to Nevada and mined at Aurora and Esmeralda until 1864, in which year he returned to California,

and there spent the following winter. He came to Montana in the spring, and after prospecting for five months passed three months in mining at Deep Gulch. He began prospecting at Big Hole; came to Phillipsburg in July, 1866, and located the Salmon, Estill, Willard and San Francisco mines. Here he remained mining until 1878, when he bought the Strickland livery stable,

where he is doing business at the present time, always keeping the best of stock and being ever ready to carry parties to all parts of the territory. -

GREENBRIER COURT RECORDS

By Anna L. Lutz <alutz@Juno.com>

I copied the Greenbrier Court Records in 1969/70 for James K. VanBibber Sr and Maude Kincaid with whom I was corresponding. The date March 22 1786 is correct found Greenbrier County Court Records Vol 1780-1786 P 463. Peter VanBibber appointed Guardian. They did move to southwest Va. in 1786. John VanBibber being appointed Lt. of the County Militia May 11

1786 in Russell County is how I found them.

P 375 June 21 1785 Ordered to be certified to the Auditors that Sarah VanBibber now wife of Wm. Griffy made sufficient proof to this court that she was two years the widow of Isaac Van Bibber and that she had seven children during her widowhood.

P 7 1781 Court doth appoint Peter VanBibber First Lt. in Capt. (Duncan) Grymes Company of Militia.

Pg. 26 Aug 21 1781 Elizabeth Yoakum with George Yoakum and George Whaley acknowledged bond of ten thousand pounds with condition that the said Elizabeth Yoakum shall keep the peace towards all the good citizens of the Commonwealth for and during the term and time of twelve months and one day thereof especially towards Rebecca Patterson.

Vol 1787-1789 April 1788 Page 178 ordered that it be certified that Sarah VanBibber widow of Isaac VanBibber dec'd a pensioner who was allowed by the Commissioners of the Southern District in the year 1775 raised and maintained her family at her own expense having no estate of

her husband's and that she is object in need of the allowance made her. NOTE the Year 1788, she had not left Greenbrier County at this time to move to southwest Virginia with her children.

Sept 1788 Eliza Griffy and Wm. Griffy with John Osbourne their security certificate is granted them for obtaining letters of administration of the estate of Thomas Griffy, dec'd.

Pg 20 Sept 1790 On motion of Conrad Keller a commission is given him to take the acknowledgment of Cloe VanBibber wife of John VanBibber (son of Peter & Margery) her relinquishment of dower in land sold by her husband to said Keller. Capt. John VanBibber lived near Kellers now Summers County WV. They move to Point Pleasant after this date. Brother Peter had already settled there about 1781. The Indians were still a problem on the

frontier which continued till the Anthony Wayne Treaty 1795.

VAN BIBBER SHIP LIST

By Anna L. Lutz <alutz@Juno.com>

This record I found in the Jackson County (WV) Library at Ripley, WV..

"Ship Passenger Lists" 1641-1825, Carl Boyer, 3rd, 1980. P 7, "Einwanderder in Pennsylvania Vor 1700", Jahruch fur (two dots over the u) Auslanddeutsche Sippenkunde, I (1936), 53-54 {Lancour No. 116].

Bebber Van, Jakob Isaaks, Backer (dots over the a) aus Krefeld, 1687.

Bebber Van, Jakob Isaaks und Matthias, sohne (dots over o) des vorigen, 1684 und 1687.

P 8 Schumacher, Peter, von Kriegsheim, 1685 mit 7 kindern und einer Verwandten.

Translated, last two words, one relative.

It reads: Schumacher, Peter, from Kriegsheim, with 7 children and one relation (relative). (Not a Frau, wife, as entered on others listed).

In my German and English Dictionary I find the V is a B, Berwanbt means

relative, kin.

P 8 Schumacher, Sarah, Von Kriegsheim, mit 7 kindern, vor 1689. This is widow of George Schumacher, who died enroute to Pennsylvania, 1689. Sister-in-law to Peter Schumacher, above. See, Genealogy of the Shoemaker Family of Cheltenham Pennsylvania, Benjamin D. Shoemaker.

(Descendants of George and Sarah Schumacher), Introduction & Historical Notes, p 6 reference, The Pennsylvania Magazine, Vol. 8, p 337, in a list of families who arrived in Philadelphia 1682-1687, has Sarah, his cousin.

BOONE PAPERS: DRAPER MANUSCRIPT

By Anna L. Lutz <alutz@Juno.com>

Vol 23 C pg. 108

Letter of Isaac VanBibber to Lyman C Draper

Danville, Mo Oct. 16,1853

Mr. Draper Dear Sir:

Yesterday received your note of the in which you requested me to give you some of the memories of my parents and grand parentage which I will do so far as my memory serves me at present. My grandfather Vanbibber was born in Maryland, twelve miles from Baltimore and before he married, him and his two brothers emigrated to Greenbrier City, Va.. Their names as follows my grandfather Isaac, Matthias, and - Tames. Shortly after they went to Virginia, Isaac went over into North Carolina and there married a, planter's daughter by the name of Davis, and I have heard my father speak of hard feelings that arose between Davis and his son-in-law, about matters of religion. Davis and his family belonged to the High Church of England and Vanbibber called himself convert from that Church which Davis knew nothing about at the time my grandfather and grandmother married which caused a great deal of dissatisfaction and ill feeling between Davis and his son-in-law which lasted during the lifetime of my grandfather. My grandfather being an Old Side Baptist Preacher, so after his death his father-in-law came over and had his grandchildren christened High Churchmen, with the exception of the three eldest Nancy, Patty, and Peter, who obstinately refused to accept to belong to the High Church of England. John, James, and Isaac (that was my father) they were christened, my grandmother still belonging to that Church. Now my father always give his birth on his account as 1771 Oct. 12 and was born in Greenbrier Co. and died on the 30 Sept. 1840 at his son-in-law's G. W. Burt in Calloway City.

In 1842 there was an old man stayed at my house by the name of Glaze moving with his son-in-law from Powell's Valley '.Tenn. and he bad in his possession an old Family Bible that he stated to me that he bought at Howard's sale, my father's brother-in-law sale; It having been my grandfather's Bible and therein I saw the record of my grandfather's marriage and the births of his children in his own hand write as I suppose and I then take the date down in his birth, my father's birth as that record have it, Isaac born 1768, that is the record of my grandfather together with the record of the death of my grandfather. Now my grandmother married after the death of my grandfather, a, man by the name of Griffin and my fattier being the youngest, he went to live with his uncle James Davis, a wealthy tobacco planter in North Carolina where he remained until he was grown. He then returned to see his relatives, there fell in with Col. Andrew Lewis and three of his sons, and Three and Louis Wetsel, who were bound for Big Kanawha, it being the frontier of Virginia in the defense of their Colonel being the brother of Capt. Charles Lewis that was mortally wounded in the same engagement that my grandfather fell and died in thirty hours after he was conveyed from the battle grounds My father's notions was then if he could get to kill the Indians he would have full revenge for them having killed his father.

Isaac VanBibber goes on to relate a story about Louis Wetsel and his father being spies and killing of an Indian.

The brothers names above should be John and Peter, along with their father Peter VanBibber I of Virginia. The blanks are words I could not make out.

VAN BIBBER MARRIAGES OF CALLAWAY CO., MO

By Donna C. Burry (Non-Member) <dburry@mail.coin.missouri.edu>

"MARRIAGE RECORDS OF CALLAWAY COUNTY, MISSOURI 1821, 1871" Compiled and published by Mrs. Arthur D. Ferguson, Genealogist, Fulton, MO

VanBibber, Melissa to Lorenzo Hultz, Callaway County, MO January 12, 1937

VanBibber, Minerva to William Davis by Jackson, J. P., December, 1850.

VanBibber, Lucinda to Ashel Thomas, by J. Palmer J. P., October 15, 1848.

The following is from the "History of Callaway County, Missouri", Written and compiled FROM THE AUTHENTIC OFFICIAL AND PRIVATE SOURCES, including a history of its TOWNSHIPS, TOWNS AND VILLAGES, printed by the St. Louis: National Historical Company. c1884, Page 93:

"In April, 1816, James Van Bibber, of Kentucky, located at Van Bibber's deer lick, on Big Auxvasse Creek, near where the Fulton and St. Louis road now crosses that stream. He was the same year employed as the marker of trees, when his son Joseoph, then with Colonel Nathan Boone, surveyed the eastern part of the county. Just here, a correction of current history may be properly made. It has been said that Isaac Van Bibber married Susan, eldest daughter of Daniel Boone, and first white child born in Kentucky. This is a mistake. Susan Boone married William Hays, and their eldest daughter, Elizabeth married Isaac Van Bibber.

"Mrs. Minerva Davis, wife of William J. Davis, of Coats' Prairie, a daughter of James Van Bibber, still reside in Callaway (1884). She was (August, 1883) sixty-five years and six months old. Two of her brothers, Francis and Daniel Van Bibber, still reside in Callaway, the latter of whom, by a singular misplacement of the pupil of the right eye, can only read with the lines perpendicular to instead of horizontal with the ordinary plane of vision."

QUERIES

From John Hutchinson <jhutch@kansas.net>

I am having trouble tracing my YOAKUM line back to TN from MO. If anyone

out there could help I would really appreciate it. I have already found a living cousin through the VanBibber Newsletter!

Jesse P. YOAKUM, b 22 Jun 1823, TN, d 25 Jun 1893, Buried in Hoover Cemetary, north of Browning, Sullivan Cnty, MO).

m Mary E. PAINE (or other spelling), 8 Oct 1850, Sullivan Cnty, MO, b 18 July 1829, d 1917, buried in Hoover Cemetary north of Browning, Sullivan Cnty, MO.

Jesse P. YOAKUM and Mary E. PAINE had 9 children which they raised in

Enterprise Township, Linn Co., MO. The book "Illustrated Historical Altas of Linn Co., Mo for

1876" lists Jesse P. YOAKUM as owning land in Township 60, North Range 20 West. This is about 2 miles southeast of Browning, (Linn Cnty), MO. The Children were as follows:

1) George William, b 7/1851, d 1937, buried Winigan Cemetary, Sullivan Cnty, MO

m Elizabeth Ellen Long.

Children: (6 daughters, 2 sons). All daughters and 1 son survived to adulthood.

2) Margaret E. YOAKUM, b 1853

m _______ Rand

Children: Minnie, b 1876

3) Albert YOAKUM, b 1855

4) Lott or Leon B. YOAKUM, b 1857

m B.E. ________

5) Mary E. YOAKUM, b 1858

m Richard M. MORRIS on 3/26/1876

6) Columbus YOAKUM, b 12/1860

m Tabitha C. Mounts in Carroll Cnty, MO on 12/25/1881

Children: had 3 sons as of the 1900 Census

Columbus' mother Mary E. YOAKUM lived with Columbus in Brookfield, MO during

the 1900 census.

7) Rhoda A. YOAKUM, b 1862

8) Martha (Mattie) E. YOAKUM, b 1866, d 1892

m James Crist, b 1861, d 1948

Both Martha and James are buried in the Price Cemetary in Sullivan Cnty, MO.

9) Jackson Morgan YOAKUM, b 3/13/1865, d 3/9/39

I am descended from Jackson Morgan Yoakum.

Jesse P(ierce?) YOAKUM came to Linn Cnty, MO with his brother or first cousin George YOAKUM sometime between 1840 and 1850. I also have information on george YOAKUM's descendents.

George YOAKUM, b 23 Feb 1809, TN, d 18 Feb 1883, buried - Ogle Cemetary in Benton Township, Linn Cnty, MO.

Query: Does anyone know if George was a brother to Jesse P. or a first cousin to Jesse P.? Does anyone know of this line in TN that may help me connect Jesse P. or George to a specific line?

Could you add Brenda's suggestions to my recently submitted query for the newsletter?

Thanks very much for your help.

Your query looks good to me. I have only one suggestion. You might include information suggesting that Jesse T. YOAKUM or George YOAKUM are possibly sons of 1. Peter & Sally YOAKUM or 2. Valentine ("Felty") & Charlotte YOAKUM because both Peter and Charlotte YOAKUM families had males corresponding to Jesse and George's ages in the 1830 E. Tennessee Census (Roane County, Tenn.).

Both Peter and Valentine (Felty) YOAKUM are sons of George YOAKUM, I and

Martha VAN BIBBER of YOAKUM Station, Tennessee.

It also may be helpful to note that Charlotte (widow of Felty YOAKUM) remarried Edward Edwards in early 1830's and therefore Charlotte's children may be listed under Edward's name in later census.

From Mary Shields <shields@netins.net>

I have been doing some research and I found my Great Grandfather's obituary. He was John Henry VAN BEBBER, son of Peter and Sarah VAN BEBBER. He was born June 23, 1832 near Knoxville, Tennessee in Claiborne County. The family moved near Knoxville, Mo. in Ray County when he was around the age of four. His brothers and sisters were, Marcus, Franklin, Prudence, Francis, William, Huston, and George Marshall. He married Matilda Baker and had six children, Martin Luther(who went to Los Angeles, Ca.),Huston, Tom, Florence, and 2 unknown. Matilda died in 1873, and a short while later he married my G. Grandmother Margaret Brookshire and had 5 children. They were Amanda, Ella and Vella (twin girls), Kathyrn (my Grandmother), and Jesse.

My friend Sue Whitmer located her Great Grandfather's history. He was George Marshall VAN BEBBER, son of Peter and Sarah VAN BEBBER, formerly of Knoxville, Tennessee. They had moved to Ray County Mo. and he was born there in Sept. 21, 1836. He married Serepta Juliet Lamb in 1866 and had nine children. They were Walter, John Clayton, Mary Elizabeth, Frances Clementine, Nora Lee, Anna Gertrude, and two unknown, who died in infancy.

Peter VAN BEBBER, our Great, Great Grandfather was the son of John VAN BEBBER, born between 1760 and 1767 in Mathews County, Virginia. He was the son of Captain Issaac VAN BEBBER.

Any more information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you,

Mary Shields <shields@netins.net>

From Jean Morford <morfords@pacific.net?

1. Nancy Vanbeber (this is the way it is written in family Bible belonging to Charles C. Renfro), daughter of John & Peggy Vanbeber Nov. 20, 1806, married William Renfro, son of James and Charity Renfro.

Nancy was the daughter of John Vanbeber and Margaret (Peggy) Chrisman, according to my information. I think they were married in Knox Co., KY, later were in TN for a short while and moved in 1834 to Boone Co., MO. I have information on their descendants if anyone needs it.

2. I am still seeking confirmation of a marriage between a James Renfro and Esther Van Bibber. They were in various counties in VA in the mid to late 1700's and both died in Barren Co. KY. I have very little information on this couple.
