RESEARCH NOTES

NOTE: Mary Ann and her sister Allie Rebecca are often incorrectly shown as the daughters of Eli Bibby and Susan Blanton. They were actually the nieces of Eli and they and their mother Martha Acery (Uncertain Spelling Avery, Akery) apparently lived with Eli and Susan after their father Bailey N. Bibby was killed in the Civil War. Bailey was the son of Eli's brother Moses D. Bibby.

Biography

Mary Ann Bibby was the oldest daughter of Bailey N. Bibby and Martha Acery Bibby born May 21, 1854 probably in Alabama. [1]

In the 1855 Alabama State Census [2] she was the only child in the family of B. N. Bebee (Bibby) in Macon, Alabama. She would have been about one year old.

In the 1860 U. S. Census the family was still in Macon [3] the family included B. N. and Martha A. Bibby and two daughters Mary A. age 7 and Alendia age 4. Bailey was a mechanic with no listed real estate. He was also listed on the agriculture schedule [4] which showed he had 8 swine and 5 cattle valued at $50, slaughtered livestock valued at $120, an had raised one ton of hay, 75 bushels of Indian Corn, 100 bushels of sweet potatoes.

Bailey joined the confederate army on 3 July 1861[5] and was killed on September 1, 1862 in Pennsylvania.[6] Martha Bibby and her two daughters moved to Chambers County, Alabama within the next few years. On 2 January 1866, Martha married Columbus Washington Looser at the home of Bailey's uncle, Eli Bibby. This is probably the reason that many researchers had thought she and/or her daughters were Eli's children.

In the 1970 U. S. Census (13 July 1870) [7] Columbus and Martha's family was in Milltown, Chambers County. Columbus was farming. The children included Mary A age 16 and Rebecca age 13. and Joseph Looser age 2.

Mary Ann Bibby married John Bishop on 19 January 1871 in Chambers County, Alabama. I have seen an alternate date of January 29, 1871. More information is needed on the exact date. They were married by A. Y. Vickers, minister. [8]

They had a son who was born and died on the same day in 1882. The Find A Grave memorial doesn't have a photo, but indicates that the inscription says, "Infant son of John & M.A. Bishop". He was buried at the Bibby Family Cemetery in Chambers County, Alabama. [9]


In the 1880 U. S. Census (16 June 1880) [10] John was farming. He and Molly (Mary Ann) had two children. Dora age 6 and Janie (Mary Jane) age six months. Also living with the family was John's brother George and a hired worker, Peter Meadows.

In the 1900 U. S. Census (22 June 1900) [11] John and Mollie had been married twenty-nine years and still lived in Milltown, Chambers County. The farm home was owned free of a mortgage. Mary was the mother of five children and three were alive in 1900. All three were still at home in the U. S. Census. They included Dora age 25, Janie age 20 and Ellen age 15. Janie and Ellen had attended school. Also living with the were two of John's cousins, George and Charlie. Mary Jane (Janie) married Samuel T. Stephens in November of 1900.

In the 1910 U. S. Census [12] John and Mary had been married thirty- nine years. Only two children were still living. Martha Ellen had been married to Alonzo Burton Jarrell and died in 1907. Dora was thirty-five and still lived with her parents.

Mary Ann died 4 October 1911 and was buried at Bibby Family Cemetery, Chambers County, Alabama. [1]
