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 in 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 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.
Respectfully,
James D. Van Bibber

Notes for Joseph (Spouse 1)
27 . . . Joseph Van Bibber, son of above and father of our subject, was born in Greenbriar county, Virginia, in 1797 and was but three years old when brought by his parents to Callaway County, Missouri [ccs note: This can't be correct in regard to Callaway County. The area that became Callaway County was quite a distance beyond the white settlement at that time. The family of James actually came to St. Charles County, and lived on a Spanish Land Grant just west of Nathan and Olive's Spanish Land Grant], and was, therefore, reared in this state, received a common education and was a gunsmith by trade and employed by the United States government at Liberty, Missouri, when there was an Indian agency at that point. He married in St. Charles county, Missouri, Susan Boone, a daughter of Nathan and Olive (Van Bibber) Boone. . . .
. . . After his marriage Joseph Van Bibber lived at Liberty until 1832, when he went to Arkansas and settled in Randolph county, in the wilderness, and was one of the first settlers in that county, and was one of the surveyors who laid out the town of Pocahontas, the county-seat of that county, and there he died at the age of forty-two years, and his wife died a few years previously. They were the parents of four children who lived to grow up, namely: Letitia, James D., Sarah and Emulus C.
