Hi Stephen,
Can't say for certain that this is your "Lizzie's" line, but if I was to bet on it, this is where I'd lay my money.
Lineage line - James 1 Bibber > Lemuel Bibber > John Bibber > John Doyle Bibber, Jr. OR his brother William Bibber.
William B. Bibber born 1813 in Maine married between 1837 and 1849 to Rebecca J. BERRY. William and Rebecca had at least three children, one of them was named Lizzie E. Bibber.I have no birthdate for her but given the span of time that William may have married Rebecca, this Lizzie fits the one you are looking for like a glove!
I have searched through my Bibber genealogy and cannot find a Sarah Elizabeth "Lizzie" Bibber listed, only this Lizzie E.Since SINNETT did this genealogy based on many written letters to folks who were related, that he has her named recorded as "Lizzie E." and you are searching for Sarah E. "Lizzie" Bibber, makes me think that they two are one and the same, but I could be very wrong.
The other reason that this seems to fit is Geography.
William and his wife Rebecca are buried at Oak Grove Cemetery in Bath, Maine but William died on July 10, 1894 in Bowdoinham.
William's brother John Doyle Bibber, Jr. was born March 27, 1815, he married 1st before 1843 to Mrs. Hannah DOYLE who was born c1820 in Maine (she was married 2nd to Abizer DOYLE...this line is Very peculiar).
I have no children listed for this couple (John and Hannah), but that doesn't mean they didn't have a daughter named Sarah Elizabeth "Lizzie" BIBBER born sometime before 1843 that might be the one you are looking for.
John Doyle Bibber, Jr. married 2nd in May of 1843 Durham, ME to Mehitable Cowen HALL who was born 1816 in Durham.She died in 1874 in Bath, ME age 58 yrs. old.
They had at least 2 children: Randall Doyle Bibber, M.D. who was born Sept. 1, 1845 and was the Mayor of Bath in 1895.
and Allura Bibber b.c1847 who married Dr. E. H. Leyman or Lyman.She died around 1895 and her brother Randall died 1910.
John Doyle Bibber, Jr. is a son of John Bibber born 1783 in Harpswell, Cumberland Co., Maine, he married 1807 to Jane "Jinny" DOYLE.
John Bibber and his wife moved to Bowdoin, Maine and are both buried there in the South Cemetery.
John died 1851 and Jinny died 1872.
They had at least 4 children: Eri Bibber, William B. Bibber, John Doyle Bibber, Jr., and Hulda Bibber.
I hope somewhere among this info you will find your Lizzie's family.My Nana was a Bibber from Harpswell and took me over to Bath one afternoon when I was a young girl to see Dr. Randall Bibber's old house there.It is, or was absolutely gorgeous and had a brass name plate next to the front door that said "Bibber".The home was just stunning architecture and even the barn or carriage house was fabulous.
I hope that it has been preserved and is still in good shape as it would be a tragedy to lose such a wonderful old home.
Good Luck to you in your searching and if you do find your family please come back here and let us know as we are always So pleased to find new Bibber cousins.
Thanks.
