She married Alsa Woodward November 23, 1848 in Greene Co., MO; born 1828 in KY.

(Sarah resided in Kendrick, Idaho in the 1900 census. Could have died there but I have found no record of where or when she died. [ccs])

. . . The second Joseph [Van Bibber] married Susan Boone, daughter of Nathan and Olive Van Bibber Boone. James was orphaned at age 13 (Sarah, orphaned when she was 9) and then lived with his grandparents, Nathan and Olive Van Bibber Boone. He mar ried, in 1854, Caroline Staly, daughter of Alfred and Lucinda (Brower) Staley. They had two children, Alfred and Laura.

The (following) letter to Nathan Boone Van Bibber is almost illegible, again due to the limitations of copy making at the time I received it.

This is an attempt at deciphering it.

Dear Sir:
I got what I supposed to be your address by reading a piece in the St. Louis Republican, concerning a gun which Daniel Boone gave to Matthias Tice Van Bibber, who I suppose, from statements in said paper, was your grandfather My father was born i n Greenbriar County , Now W. Va., in 1797, and was a son of James Van Bibber-


My mother was a daughter of Nathan Boone and Olive Van Bibber Boone, my mother and father being first cousins.


My Grandfather Van Bibber had a brother Tice so I suppose we must be
(illegible)

My object in writing is (illegible, "learning"?) something of my ancestors in (rest of sentence illegible, possibly "Moan W. Va.")

I learned that there is a book in the (illegible word) in Va. giving a history of Daniel Boone and Van Bibbers crossing the mountains on their trip moving west-- If there is such a book or any history that will give any account of our ancestors pl ease let me know where I can get one and what it will cost and I will send the necessary amount at once.

Will write more if I hear from you.
Respectfully,
James D. Van Bibber
