Dear Listmembers,
I am brand new to the list(s) and am in search of more info on my LIBEY
ancestors. Of many LIBEY families that follow, I have more info than I have
listed and will gladly share and am interested in any info I can obtain
(descending or ascending) -- particularly in info on the William and
Elizabeth ? LIBEY family. They had several children in Richland County
during 1830s/1840s. According to family history (I have all
spouses/offspring for many generations), William was born in PA in 1816
(Cumberland Co? or Perry?) and died in DeKalb Co., IN in 1849. William and
Elizabeth had the following children: Margaret (Peggy) LIBEY b: 1835 OH;
George E. LIBEY b: 1838, Richland Co., OH; David D. LIBEY b: 1840, Richland
Co., OH; Mary Ann LIBEY b: 1842 Richland Co., OH; Jacob Ora LIBEY b: 1844
Richland Co., OH; Rachel LIBEY b: 1846 Richland Co., OH; and Elizabeth LIBEY
b: 1849 DeKalb Co., IN.
William may have been a son of John and Polly FOHT LIBEY (and John may be a
son of George and Eve Dunkel Libey). Info on some of John and Polly's
children follows: Catherine LIBEY b: 1818 PA married Philip SHAMBOUGH in
Richland Co, OH in 1841; Susan LIBEY b: 1820 PA married Daniel BURROUGHS in
Williams Co, OH in 1843; John Frederich LIBEY married Elizabeth RICHEY in
Williams Co, OH in 1843; Simon LIBEY b: 1828 PA; Benjamin LIBEY b: 1830 PA
married Lucy Ferguson in Lenawee Co., MI in 1853; Lucy Ann LIBEY b: 1832 PA
married John LOSEY in Lenawee Co., MI in 1853; and Sarah LIBEY b: 1838 OH
(Richland Co, OH ?) married Howland Ferguson in Lenawee Co., MI in 1854. Not
listed is Margaret LIBEY who married George LIBEY in PA - they moved to MI ,
near her relatives, in the 1850s (also have much info on their offspring....).

Maria b; ABT1814, John L. b: ABT1816, Margaret E. b: ABT 1817, Jacob S. b:

ABT1838, John J b: ABT1839/40, Cornelius b: ABT1841/42, Margaret b:
