Tamara,
Saw your message re: Bibby family of NC.Hope you're still around to answer my inquiry.
No, I have not seen the picture.Have you?
The reason for this message is to ask if your family came from
Franklin County, NC?
If so, I may have some information for you re: the progenitor of your family Captain William Bibby of Accomack Co, VA. He arrived in Accomack ca. 1620 and in 1636 he transported my 9th GG Christopher Calvert to Accomack Co from England.
My family now goes by the name Colbert, but it used to be Calvert and Colvard.
My 3rd GG Thomas Colbert was in the 1790 Federal census of Franklin Co, NC. He died in 1846.
Another family that lived in Accomack Co. was the Pannell family. It's name has also changed over the years. The family went by the name Pinnell/Pinel/Purnell etc.They also lived in Franklin Co., NC along with the Bibby family.
My 3rd GG Thomas Colbert/Colvard/Calvert was married to
Vasty Pinnell, dau of John Pinnell.
My 9th GG John Pinnell settled in Accomack Co., VA in 1646.
So there were three families that lived in Accomack Co in the early and late 1600's and they ended up in Franklin Co., NC.
Pretty amazing, huh?
