Isaac Hibbs Sr. was born about 1740 in Wrightstown Township, Bucks County, Pennsylvania, to Joseph and Rachel (Waring) Hibbs.
He married Elizabeth Roberts on 22 December 1763 in Churchville, Bucks County, Pennsylvania. Isaac was a Quaker, but Elizabeth was not, so Isaac was disowned by the (then) Low Dutch Church of North and South Hampton (now the Presbyterian Church, Churchville, Bucks County, Pennsylvania) for marrying outside his faith in the Quaker Church to a "Dutch" German girl. Isaac and Elizabeth had the following known children:
Samuel was born in about 1764.
Rachel was born in 1765.
Hannah was born in 1767.
Joseph was born in about 1768.
Elizabeth was born in 1772.
Ruth was born in 1773.
Isaac Jr. was born in 1777
Nathan was born in 1779.
Jonathon was born in 1780.
Mary was born in 1782.
William was born in about 1785.
With some of his brothers, Isaac moved his family from Pennsylvania to Loudon County, Virginia, and then later to Bedford, Virginia. During the Revolutionary War, Isaac provided support to the patriot cause by paying the supply tax as recorded in the Library of Virginia, "Bedford County Personal Property Tax, 1782-1805," Roll #34, page 14.
About 1799, he moved to Kentucky with his eldest son Samuel Hibbs and son-in-law Nicholas Osburn, husband of his daughter Rachel. He is found in the 1800 Tax Lists for Nelson County, Kentucky.
He died on 13 August 1813 in Coxs Creek, Nelson County, Kentucky. He is believed to be buried in the Old Richland Cemetery, Hopkins County, Kentucky, with his son Joseph, but this is not confirmed.
Send a biographical sketch of your patriot!
Patriot biographies must be the original work of the author, and work submitted must not belong to another person or group, in observance with copyright law. Patriot biographies are to be written in complete sentences, follow the established rules of grammar, syntax and punctuation, be free of typographical errors, and follow a narrative format. The narrative should unfold in a logical manner (e.g. the narrative does not jump from time period to time period) or have repeated digressions, or tell the history of the patriot's line from the patriot ancestor to the author. The thinking here is that this is a patriot biography, not a lineage report or a kinship determination project or other report published in a genealogy journal. The biography should discuss the qualifying service (military, patriotic, civil) of the patriot ancestor, where the service was rendered, whether this was a specific state or Continental service, as well as significant events (as determined by the author) of the patriot's life. This is the entire purpose of a patriot's biography.
