LIBEY FAMILY HISTORY
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

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
