"John Van Bibber served in the War for Texas Independence as a member of Captain B.L. Lawrences Company of Tennessee volunteers that were organized at Nacogdoches in December, 1835 for fighting at San Antonio, but he did not arrive in time for the surrender of Bexar. His name appears on the rolls of Captain B. H. Duval, Colonel James W. Fannins Command, as being in this company from December 25, 1835 to February 29, 1836 and has the notation in the "Remarks" column that he escaped the massacre. This escape can be explained by the fact that he was absent on sick leave at the battle on Coleto Creek, March 19, 1836. An unmarried man, he operated a grocery store, made a trip to California during the gold rush and it is said that he had some success."

---------
John Van Bibber "One of Duvals "Mustangs;" member of Fannins Command; solid German Stock; remained a citizen of this area; and highly esteem but not a politician."
"John Van Bibber of German blood was probably a native of Virginia however the name Van Bibber is prominent in the older histories of KY. In late 1835 he arrived in Texas with Capt. Burr H. Duvals "Mustangs," having joined this group at Bardstown KY, as a private 1st Regiment Volunteers.
After taking part in many of the skirmishes and fights in and around La Bahia he was in Fannins Command. Due to his absence because of illness he missed the Battle of Coleto and capture with Fannins men. After San Jacinto, Van Bibber opened a Grocery Store opposite the Ingram House on E. South St., today known as Santa Rosa. This business occupied his time until about 1847 when he went to California, where he was successful in the gold fields. He returned to Victoria about 1850 with some resources gained in his mining venture.
Having secured his land for service in the Texas Army, and with his earnings in California he was a substancial [sic] citizen. During the Indian raid of Aigist [sic] 1840 John aided J.O. Wheeler in his escape from the Comanches.
While he never saught [sic] public office he was on many committees and juries where sound judgement [sic] was required. In 1876 he was a resident of Goliad and Victoria.
In 1883 Van Bibber assessed property in the amount of $11,940.00, which was fairly high for that era. He died Feb. 1884 and is buried in Evergreen Cemetery. The State of Texas erected a marker on his grave.
John Van Bibber was a bachelor--honest-methodical--practical--frugal and of a saving nature--had a good sense for business. Loyal to his friends--had the German love of ownership of land, was a good solid citizen not much in the public eye, but one of the class of people from which our town was molded."

The following information is quoted from a personal letter dated January 18, 1988 from George Vanbiber of Vancouver, Washington to Earl W. Quintrell, a Van Bibber family researcher.
LETTER FROM GEORGE M. VANBIBER
"My Grandfather is indeed in the Ray County, Missouri 1860 census. He is next in the 1870 Washington Territory Census. He left Missouri in 1863 with his older brother, William Houston Van Bibber. He is not in any census for 1910. He died in 1908. He married Sarah Lyle and had two children. Sarah Lyle left him and married a Hewitt, then died herself leaving Hewitt children. Marcus at 59, may have been a boarder but he finished his years with his only daughter Pearl. He had gone blind as a result of an injury of which I have no details. Marcus Del. Is buried in the cemetery at Lyle, Klickitat County, Washington, as is my father and sister. Note Lyle, Washington, after my Grandfather Lyle.
There are other VBs in the 1870 Territorial Census Records but I have not researched these and I do not believe they are closely connected. The 1863 date of arrival in the Northwest is from my Aunt Pearl and I expect it is correct because Sarah Lyle came with her parents in the same wagon train that year as a youngster. I have no other confirmation on the year. I do have some of the info on Ira who went to Alaska. A Van Bibber descendant in Charleston, West Virginia, photocopied much of it; including newspaper and magazine reprints. She gave me copies last fall in West Virginia."
From the files of the late Earl Quintrell.
