35“Two brothers, Peter and Isaac Ban Bibber, were natives of Holland who came to America before the Revolustion and settled in Botetourt County, Virginia. Later they both lived in Greenbriar County, Virginia.
Peter Van Bibber, who was probably the eldest of the two brothers, married Margary Bounds, and lived at the mouth of the Big Kanawha River. He died probably before September, 1799 and his widow went to live with one of their sons in Ohio, on the Ohio River opposite the mouth of the Big Sandy. This son was probably the eldest, Peter, Jr., as it is stated in an old record that Nathan Boone, who married Olive Ban Bibber, went to claim his bride at the mouth of the Little Sandy, ‘where Mr. Peter Van Bibber then lived.’ (Draper Mss. 6 S 118-254.) The father having died previously, this must have been the younger Peter Van Bibber, with whom his mother and sister made their home.”


another source says:
* Birth: 1723 in St. Stephen's Pa, Cecil Co., MD
* Death: 7 MAR 1799 in Pt Pleasant, Mason Co, Virginia

Per e-mail from Myron Bounds : The VanBebbers were from Baltimore, Cecil Co., Md. They lived in the Blackwater-Pigg River area variously under Lunenberg, Halifax, Pittsylvania and Bedford Counties of Virginia until 1770 when they went across the Blue Ridge to the mouth of the Greenbrier River, then in Botetourt Co., VA. Peter and his brothers Isaac and John and some of their sons were in the Battle of Pleasant Point, a battle of the Revolution.

. . . . Looking for the place of burial for Marguery (VanBibber) Bounds, mother of Olive VanBibber who was the wife of Daniel Boone's son......Nathan. - Note: I have found this location due to an email from Keith Hart <****@verizon.net>, who found the location on findagrave.com. Thanks Keith [ccs]
I am of the understanding that she spent her later years living in the home of Nathan where she died at the ripe old age of 104 sometime during the year 1844 in Green County, Missouri.
MARRIAGE: 1756, Lunenburg County, Virginia
aka: Margery


36MARGORY BOUNDS VAN BIBBER

The first documented Bounds in America was Marjory's great grandfather,
John Bounds (who probably left London aboard the good ship HOPEWELL
bound for the Barbadoes in 1634 a age 20) who with his wife Mary Hiam
left Virginia for Maryland c1672. John & Mary were members of the Church of
England and indeed he was a vestryman and was one of those selected to lay
out the boundaries of the Stepney Parish (from whose records much of this
information is extracted)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Marjory's Grandfather was John Bounds Jr who married a Rebecca(??). He was
born c 1672 in Somerset County MD along the Nanticoke River at his parents
plantation. John was a planter and resided with Rebecca on land across the
Nanticoke River in Dorchester County MD.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Marjory's Father was James Bounds b c1696 d c1775. James married Ann Dicks
(Dykes??) by 1721 and after disposing of the Maryland lands they left the
Eastern shore of Maryland and moved west to the Shendoah Valley of
Virginia. By 1744 he was in Frederick County VA where he was closely
associated with his brother, George Bounds and his wife Mary Claywell. In
1754 James Bounds was Constable of Bedford County VA., where his daughter
Jane married John Cole. c1761 he was in Anson County North Carolina where
he swapped land with his sons James Jr, Jesse, and John Bownds, his
son-in-law John Cole and Stephen Cole and their uncle, Mark Cole.
James (sr) died by 1775 and was buried on his own plantation in Anson
County NC

Marjory (Mager,Major,Marguery) was born in 1740 in Maryland. She married in
1756 Peter VanBebber Jr son of Peter and Ann VanBebber. They lived in the Blackwater-Pigg
River area
variously under Lunenberg, Halifax, Pittsylvania and Bedford Counties of
Virginia until 1770 when they went across the Blue Ridge to the mouth oft
the Greenbrier River, then in Botetourt County. Peter VanBebber, born 1728 died 10 October 1796 and Marjory and Olive, her
youngest daughter, born 1783 lived with her son, Peter VanBebber (III)
until after Olive's marriage to Nathan Boone in 1799. Marjory is said to
have lived with one of her sons in Kentucky about 1817, but she spent her
last years at the home of Olive Boone and Nathan Boone as did Daniel Boone
and his wife. The widowed Hannah Allison Cole took her children, Nellie
(Elener) Bownds' grandchildren, there for shelter during Indian troubles.
