The Descendants Of John And Susanna Bibbee Of West Virginia And Ohio

John Bibbee was born 4 June 1736 and Susanna Bibbee was born 26 Oct 1744 according to their grave headstones located in Letart Twp., Meigs Co., Ohio. Their parents are not listed. They are the parents of at least 10 children, being born in Maryland, Delaware, Virginia and Ohio. Descendants live in West Virginia, Ohio, California, Virginia, Michigan, Indiana and elsewhere in the United States.

Thomas Sayre came with his family from England to Lynn, Massachusetts in the early 1630's. Among descendants of Thomas were clergymen, surgeons, attorneys, ambassadors, and representatives of almost every profession. Francis B., cowboy, professor of law, and ambassador, was son-in-law of former President Woodrow Wilson. Zelda was the wife of American novelist, F. Scott Fitzgerald, and subject of one of his books. David A. was a silversmith, banker, and founder of Lexington's Sayre School. Many Sayre descendants were taken by wars in service to America and never had the chance to win recognition for their inherent abilities. SAYRE FAMILY another 100-years, in a large part, focuses on the early pioneers who came to or passed through the Ohio Valley of West Virginia and Ohio. At least three direct descendants of Thomas had made settlements in the area by the Nineteenth Century. One, David Sayre, came from New Jersey about 1778, and left many descendants who still lived in that area at the beginning of the Twenty-first Century. The bulk of this genealogy covers those, while other Sayre families whose ancestral links were not discovered are also included. The three generations of ancestors above each family block makes tracing easier.
