Notes for Sarah Van Bibber
died:
Woodward—Johnson, [WA] Thursday, Oct. 19, Mrs Sarah Woodward, aged 73 years.
Sarah VanBibber
another source says she was b. abt 1832 - the 1900 U.S. Census [Kendrick, Idaho] says she was 63 ... this would have made her 11 when she married Asa Woodward so I believe she was born closer to 1831 or 1832, ccs]
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])
Susan’s daughter, Sarah VanBibber, born 1837 in MO. She married Alsa Woodward November 23, 1848 in Greene Co., MO; born 1828 in KY.
another source says: b. 1831; May??
another source says she was b. abt 1837 [1900 Census]
. . . 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 married, 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.

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 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 please 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.
