A free monthly electronic newsletter for the VAN BIBBER...

A free monthly electronic newsletter for the VAN BIBBER, VANBIBER,VAN BEBBER, VANBEBER, VANBABER, VANBEVER,

VANBEVERS and MANBEVERS families.

Vol. 8 No. 2 - December 2004

What can I say? We have finally reached the end of the year which brings us to the final edition of the Van Bibber family newsletter as me being the editor. Hopefully this is no surprise to anyone as I mentioned last July I would terminate my postion, as editor, at the end of the year. I have mixed emotions about giving this postion up, but after four years and 48 editions, it is time for me to move on. Four years ago there was a burning flame within me to provide a place for all of us to bond our family information and to share with others. That flame has burned out. It has been a long road, and at times a bumby road, but as promised, I would be there at the end. I have given my best over the last 48 months in which I tried to provide you with a constructive and informative family newsletter. I feel that we were successful. For all of you who played a part, I want to say thanks for your assistance.

I am pleased to inform you even though I will not be the editor of the newsletter after this edition, we do have another family member who has expressed his interest in taking over this position. He is Jim Boales [email protected] of San Jose, California. Jim is a charter member of the newsletter and has been with us since the initial issue back in November 1996. Jim is a 5 th great grandson of Isaac Van Bibber, Jr. and Elizabeth Hays through their daughter, Susannah Van Bibber Hickerson. Since members of this branch of the family are also descendants of the Boone family, Daniel Boone was Jim's 7 th great grandfather. Jim tells me he is ready to meet the challenge, but he will need your backing and support. We need to help him get off on the right foot, so if you have been holding back in the past, now is the time for you to provide your assistance. The first few months will be somewhat challenging for him, but with your contributions I know we can continue to have a successful family newsletter. I wish Jim the best of success in his endeavors as the new editor.

I would like to wish all of our subscribers and their family members a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Your Editor,

Gary R. Hawpe

LEWIS E. RIFFLE

Lewis E. Riffle is a son of William and Jane Riffle, who are mentioned in another part of this book. September 11, 1843, is the date of his birth which took place in Mason county, W. Va., the scene of his subsequent life. He remained with his father until he was twenty-six years of age, when he branched out for himself. August 4, 1868, he led to the altar Sarepta Jane Smith, daughter of James and Ann Smith. Their marriage has been a happy one and their home has been blessed with the following named children: John C. and William G. (twins) Cora M., Thomas B., Isaac M., Nellie J., Elizabeth, Emeline E., Alfred C., James G., Henry J. and David B. Mr. Riffle when first married lived on a farm in Cologne district, but after remaining there for about twelve years, he moved to Union district in Mason county, where he located on a small farm, containing the Entsminger flouring mills. He purchased a half interest in this mill in partnership with D.G. Decker. Since that time they have built a new mill, and now do most of the custom work for the surrounding country. Mr. Riffle and his brother-in-law, W.W. Smith first purchased a two-thirds interest of the Entsminger mill, of Clark Tillis. Two years afterward, Smith & Tillis sold to D.G. Decker, and in this way Riffle & Decker became partners in the milling business. The same firm is also in partnership in the running of a portable saw-mill. Mr. Riffle served in the "old Thirteenth" regiment during the war, having enlisted September 9, 1862. He participated with his regiment in many skirmishes and a number of important battles, of which the following may be mentioned: First and second Winchester, Halltown, Berryville, Fisher's Hill and Cedar Creek. Though a carpenter and millwright by trade, Mr. Riffle's principal occupation has been that of farming. He is an energetic, industrious and useful citizen.

NOTICES:

I have come into some papers and pictures of the VAN BEVER family of PINEVILLE, Ky. These appear to be the personal papers of the family of Mr. Robert VAN BEVER, Jr., and Glenn VAN BEVER. The pictures and papers are mostly from the World War II period. I would like to see that they get back to direct descendants of this family. There was a World War II diary that I was not able to get, but I did manage to get several pictures and other personal belongings of the family. Steve Smith -- [email protected] Harrogate, TN. 37752

NANCY MORTON WED IN GARDEN SETTING

Wearing a Mexican wedding gown of alternating bands of white batiste and lace, Miss Nancy Louise Morton became the bride of Geoffrey Bright Buckley in a ceremony held July 11 in New Canaan, Conn.

The bride is the daughter Mrs. M. Thayer Ivison of New Canaan, the former Nancy Kenna of Charleston, and Quin Morton of Charleston.

The bridegroom is the son of Mrs. Helen Spelsberg Buckley of New York City, formerly of Clarksburg, and Donald B. Buckley of New York and Woodstock, N.Y.

The 5 p.m. service took place in the garden of the Ivison residence, with Charles Mullendore of the Congregational Church of New Canaan officiating. A portion of the wedding service was written by the couple, who also chose selections from their favorite writings to be read by members of the bridal party. Music selections were also the couple's favorites, taped by the bridegroom.

Mr. Morton gave his daughter in marriage. She carried a bouquet of field daisies and wore the same flowers in her hair.

20



The Misses Alice Byrd Morton and Catherine Cady Ivison, sister and half-sister of the bride, were her attendants.

Serving as best man was Leland Seides of New York City.

After a month's tour of the western states, Mr. and Mrs. Buckley will make their home in San Francisco, Calif.

The bride was graduated from New Canaan Country School, Holton-Arms in Washington, D.C., and Sarah Larence College. She made her debut at the Darien-New Canaan Cotillion. Her father is in investment management.

Mr. Buckley attended Riverdale Country School, Riverdale, N.Y., and the American University School of Government and Public Administration in Washington D.C. His father is with Kahn-Buckley Associates of New York.

QUERIES:

Mr. Hawpe,

When first I contacted you I was living in Texas. I was seeking help to find information about the ancestry of Martha Jane Van Bibber. Martha married James Wiley Mayfield in January 1875 in Comanche, Texas. Soon after the marriage they moved to Arkansas where the first of at least 13 children was born. Afterwards they moved to Hill Co., TX where they lived the remainder of their years. I have continued to try and prove Jacob Van Bibber to be the father of Martha Jane. I did locate Civil War records for Jacob. He joined the confederate forces in Hunt Co., TX, and was a member of Whitfield's Rifles. Sarah Stone's brother served in the same unit. I assumed Jacob had been killed in action, as he apparently never returned to claim his child.

About a year ago I was looking at the index for the Confederate Veteran, there was a Van Bibber listed. I turned to the page and read the names of "fallen comrades from Hardin County, TN." There it was: "Jake Van Bibber, born in AR, enlisted in TX." I contacted someone from Hardin County, TN who did not think this could be the same Jacob Van Bibber, even though I believe it is so. Then not so long ago I found this Hardin County Jake Van Bibber listed with his ancestors. His parents were Peter Van Bibber and Catherine (Ridenhour) Van Bibber. Exactly the same as the Jacob I have been claiming.

Soon after 1850 Peter Van Bibber moved his family from Polk Co., AR to Hunt Co., TX, possibly spending some time in Erath County. This would be where the Van Bibbers came in contact with the Stone family. Martin and Nancy Stone were the parents of Sarah "Sally" Stone, who is supposed* to have married Jacob Van Bibber. Apparently she died soon after the birth of Martha Jane and I do not know the location of her grave. Catherine (Ridenhour) Van Bibber is buried in Hunt Co., TX and there are two unmarked graves beside her. I propose these are the graves of her husband Peter and her daughter-in-law, Sarah. It is only supposition on my part. I will continue to search for proof. *I used the word supposed because I have never been able to prove this marriage. I think proof does exist, perhaps in someone's

21


family Bible. Peter and Catherine had more daughters than sons. I am hoping that "out there somewhere" some descendant someday will publish that tiny piece of info I need. I do know one daughter married a Fulfer. The Fulfers also moved from Polk Co., AR.

Thanks for reading my story. The reason I decided to write you once more is because of a photo, which was sent to me from a man I have corresponded with since last year. He is also a descendant of Martha Jane Van Bibber and James Wiley Mayfield. He lives near their home place in Hill Co., TX. I will forward his email to you, which has the photo. I did get his permission to forward it to you as well as some Stone family researchers. I know I am a Van Bibber descendant, I would love to finally prove it.

Dear Diane,

I have known about Martha Jane Van Bibber, the wife of James Wiley Mayfield for quite a few years. Like you, I have never been able to positively identify her father. It is very possible he was Jacob Van Bibber, son of Peter Van Bibber and Catherine Ridenour. You also have to keep in mind, Jacob and Catherine had a son Landa, born about 1838 which little is known of him. There is a record of a "Land VanBiber" who served in Company H, 15th Regiment, Texas Cavalry which just has to be him.

Jacob shows up on the 1850 census, as a 14 year old boy, living with his parents and other siblings in Polk County, Arkansas. On his military pension files he indicates he was born in Carroll, Arkansas. This was most likely Carroll County as this is where his father, Peter Van Bibber, was recorded on the 1836 and 1837 Tax List. I have never been able to find Jacob or his parents on the 1860 census, but one would believe they were in Texas by this year. Other siblings of Jacob were recorded on the 1860 census as living in Hunt County, Texas. As you probably know, Martha Jane Van Bibber, who is believed to be the daughter of Jacob, according to the 1900 census was born in Feb. 1859. If so, then Jacob and Sarah Stone were most likely married by this date. I have never been able to find a marriage on them either. On August 18, 1861, Jacob enlisted in the Confederate States Army at Greenville, Hunt County, Texas. He served in Company C, 27th Texas Cavalry. This unit was also called 1st Texas Legion or Whitfield's Legion. In September 1862, Jacob's unit participated in the Battle of Iuka, Mississippi. It is this battle where Jacob was wounded, receiving a wound to his right thigh and across the head. He was left in the hands of the enemy where he was hospitalized and later paroled. It appears Jacob later joined a unit from Tennessee, was captured at Clifton, Tennessee and held prisoner at Alton, Illinois. This was the first part of April 1864. He was then taken to City Point Landing on the James River below Richmond, Virginia, where he was exchanged in April 1865. He was ordered to the command of General Tom Whitfield in Columbia, Tennessee. He was sent to Hardin County, Tennessee for furlough (most likely to check on his wife and son) and the war closed before he could get back to his command. All the above information is in his pension application.

After the war, Jacob and his family lived in Oak Hill, Hardin Co., Tenn. Jacob lived to be a ripe old age of 100 yrs, 5 mos, and 1 day at the time of his death which occurred on July 15, 1929. Him and his wife are buried in New Harmony Cemetery, Hardin Co., TN. I have never been able to find a marriage license for him and Evaline Abagail Alexander, but they were married sometime around 1863 because their oldest son, Robert Newton Van Bibber, was born about 1864. The 1900 census states they were married for 37 years.

Evaline was the daughter of William Taylor Alexander and Ruth Lacefield and had been previously married to William Bishop before her marriage to Jacob and they had two children, John T. - 1860 and Ruth Tennessee Bishop - 1862. Looking at the 1870 census one would believe they were Van Bibber children, but they were from her first marriage. Jacob and Evaline would have three children; Robert Newton, Charles and Minnie. Robert married Mattie Wells and settled in Alcorn Co., Miss. which is just right across the border from Hardin Co., Tenn. Charles died young and Minnie married James R. Gant.

It is very possible Jacob was first married to Sarah Stone and was the father of Mary Jane Van Bibber. As you said, Sarah died shortly after the birth of Mary. Jacob went off to war and Mary was raised by her grandparents. She is living with Martin and Nancy Stone on the 1870 census of Commanche Co., Texas as an eleven year old, but is listed as Mary J. Stone and not Van Bibber. Jacob is wounded and while he is recuperating he is married to Evaline (Alexander) Bishop around 1863 and a year later their son Robert is born. In the mean time he joins up with another unit from Tennessee, taken prisoner, exchanged and then shortly thereafter the war ends. He returns to his wife and son there in Oak Hill, Hardin Co., Tenn. and this is where he lives the rest of his life.

He first applied for a Confederate pension in 1902 and it was never approved. In November 1914, Jacob wrote a letter asking for information regarding his second Application #6482 which was submitted in October 1912. Jacob stated he was 84 years old, "broken down," and could not support himself.

In a letter dated September 14, 1915 to Jacob Van Bibber, stating that his war record showed that he had enlisted in 1861; afterwards captured at Clifton, Tennessee in 1863 and sent to prison at Alton, Illinois, where he took the oath in 1864. "Under these statements of facts you are certainly not pensionable, unless it can be clearly shown that at the time you took the oath you were unable for service and remained so until the close of the war."

In a letter from Jacob Van Bibber dated September 9, 1920 he stated he was an old Confederate Soldier, age 94 years. He wanted his case reviewed and he to be advised. Jacob received a letter from Ernest N. Haston, Secretary of State for the state of Tennessee, dated July 26, 1927, advising him that his application for a CSA pension had been approved. I guess they got tired of dealing with Jacob and figured at the age of 98 years he couldn't live that much longer.

SOUND OFF:

From: [email protected] (Louise Kuldas)To: [email protected] (Gary Hawpe) Well my friend, your tour is about up being the Editor. I for one am very sorry to see this happen. Without you, Gary, I haven't much hope of ever finding my missing Van Bibbers. You gave me answers to a lot of my missing relatives. To think all those years I wasted looking for a Green Van Bibber and not John Green. And not knowing my Grandfather's first name was William, but looking for Noah Van Bibber. That was the kicker. Anyway, my undying thanks for all that you've done for us Van Bibbers. We can be a thankless bunch. Take care,
