Samuel -


 
Samuel moved from Litchfield CT to Hampton NY in 1774 and apparently was the first male Bibbins to move out of CT in 80 years. His home (no longer standing) was on what is still known as Bibbins Hill. He served at least 2 terms in the Revolutionary War, the first from 8-21-77 to 10-21-77 as a private in Capt Enoch Noble's Berkshire Co MA Regiment and marched to Manchester VT, Allinton and Stillwater NY where he participated in the victory over Gen. Burgoyne. He later enlisted 10-15-80 serving with Col John Ashley's Regiment for 3 days at the time Ft Edward and Ft Ann were captured by the British.

 
In 1788 Samuel and Deborah hosted a meeting of two Methodist circuit riders , Lemuel Smith and Samuel Wigden, from Saratoga leading to the expansion of the church into the Hampton area with their active assistance. 2 of his sons, 2 grandsons and at least one great-grandson became Methodist ministers. Samuel also served a Hampton Commissioner of Schools in 1796. He was listed in the 1800 census but not in 1810.
 
His date of death is unknown but The History of Fair Haven VT says "Samuel was said to be a resident of Fair Haven in 1809".

from email from Charles Bibbins Oct 18, 2002

 
We do not currently have firm proof of the relationship between Luther Bibbins, Samuel Bibbins, Lucy Bibbins and Smith Bibbins, but there is strong circumstantial evidence that Luther was the father of the other 3.
 
Samuel was the nephew of Luther's brother Calvin per Samuel's pension file. The children of all other brothers except William are fully known. Samuel lived next door to Luther in 1820 in Salina NY and both were in Salem MI in the 1830-40 timeframe. Luther apparently lv in Fair Haven VT in 1796 but was in NY in 1800 census and Fair Haven again in 4/1805 "in the old house which stood on the common" per History of Fair Haven. In the 1830 census Luther Bibbee (sic) lv in Ossian NY - age 60-70 with 1 m 30-40, 1 m 20-30, 1 f 60-70, 1 f 20-30, 1 f 10-15. They lived next door to Alonzo Bibbee age 30-40 + family (a name I don't know)
 
Samuel's son Elisha was born in Warsaw NY in 1823. Smith was married there in 1824. Lucy lived there after her marriage to Rufus Morris in the early 20's until her death in 1852. Warsaw was founded by a man from Hampton in 1803 when Luther and his family still lived there. Other tie ins:
 
- Lucy's great-granddaughter believed Lucy's father was Luther born 1771 whose wife was Hannah, but she did not know the source.
 
- A later source verified that his wife was Hannah Perkins, whose mother was Mary Smith and speculated that Smith Bibins was named after his grandmother. Members of this Perkins family also moved to Beloit, Wisc.
 
- One of Smith's descendents speculated that he was the son of Luther.
 
- Smith's first son was named Silas Luther. Smith's wife's father was Silas Fargo.
 
- Lucy's eldest son was named Luther.
 
We are thus assuming this father plus 3 (or more) sibling relationship.

Joined Methodist-Episcopal Church 1817 (Genesee Conference), received licence as preacher 1820-21, admitted into full connection with the church in 1823 In 1828* moved to Salem MI where he lived for several years and was a preacher within the Detroit Conference - In 1839 the Mich. Annual Conference under the leadership of the strongly pro-southern Bishop Joshua Soule refused to ordain Samuel Bibbins or Marcus Swift due to their strong abolitionist views. They thus left the Conf and formed a branch of the American Wesleyan Church (which was known to be very active in the Underground Railway) out of his cabinet shop in Plymouth. Samuel brought nearly half of the membership of his Northville church with him. In 1867 Samuel and Elisha Bibbins and 5 other ministers rejoined the Conf in an emotional ceremony.

(The following obituary of Mrs Caroline Bibbins was printed in a 1904 edition of the report of the Detroit Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church. I have copies of several other obits from these publications including that of Rev Elijah and his father Rev Samuel. - Charlie Bibbins)
 
"Caroline Cook was born in Cattaraugus County, NY April 26, 1829 and died in Ypsilanti, Mich, Oct 9, 1904. Left an orphan at an early age, her young girlhood was spent with several families of this word and a few others are unclear on my copy. In 1849 she came to Lenawee County in this state to live with an older sister. During the next year she was blessedly converted and in 1851 was happily united in marriage with the Rev. Elisha Bibbins under whose ministry she had been led into christian and life. Twenty four years of arduous service in the ministry followed, sixteen years in the Wesleyan Methodist and eight in the Methodist Episcopal Church.
 
Sister Bibbins was a faithful servant of God. Domestic duties had not permitted to absorb her entire time. She delighted to engage in the work of the church and many souls were led into the religion or encouraged in the conflict of life by her sweet sympathy and unselfish devotion to their welfare. She diligently studied the work and read it through by course seven times.
 
Being persuaded through the Bible of her high privileges in she trusted in God for entire sanctification and became a shining witness of the fullness of grace. About the end of August, last year Sister Bibbins suffered a stroke of paralysis. In her afflictions she exhibited much patience and was richly sustained by faith and } into rest. Funeral services were held at the home of her son Wednesday morning Oct 12, 1904 and the remains were taken to Romulus, Mich, and interred by the side of her husband, Rev Geo[ of Milan, officiating."
 
(I also found her listed as Caroline Bibbins in the 1850 Cambridge MI census. I don't know how to reconcile this with the obituary although it is plausible that she and Elijah were engaged at that time and she was so excited about the upcoming marriage that she gave her future surname to the census taker. Elijah's obit in this publication did not mention her much less their marriage date.)


Elisha - was a Methodist Minister in Detroit for many years. Listed in the 1863 Michigan Business directory as an Presbyterian Reverend in Richland.
 
Was an internant Methodist preacher 1845-1867 in Michigan (American Wesleyan Church), then joined Detroit Conference of Methodist Episcopal Church in 1867.

Franklin - raised in WI orphanage for fatherless boys of Civil War vets. At age 12 he took a wagon train to SD, tried homesteading, then went to CA and finally to WA.
 
Frank Bibbins (came to Vashon 1884) began the first regular daily service to Quartermaster Harbor with the steamer "Sophia" - 42 ft long - two daily trips - stops at Yacht Club Boat House (Manzanita), Dry Dock (Dockton), Burrow's Landing? Bleeker's Brickyard (Burton Governor’s Row), Hatch's Saw Mill (Assembly Point Burton Peninsula) "The brickyards and mill made considerable business for the little steamer..." Bibbins served the Harbor for 18 years - with the "Sophia" 1890-1899 and then the "Norwood" (Vashon-Maury Timeline by Dr. Bruce Haulman Web: } (http://www.vashonhistory.com/vashontimeline.htm)
 
In 1905 he was a co-founder, with Arthur Hunt, of Burton Navigation Co. He sold his interest in 1912 to Arda Hunt and LLoyd Hunt.

Vashon (steamer)

 
Capt. Chance Wiman, who had purchased a half interest in the steamer Sophia from W. H. Biobins in 1894, bought out all his partner's interest in the firm of Wiman & Bibbins In 1904. It was understood that Biobins would retire from the steamboat business.
 
Biobins joined forces with A. M. Hunt to form the Tacoma & Burton Navigation Co., taking delivery of the new 93-foot steamer Burton from Crawford & Reid and placing her on an identical schedule with the Vashon. One of the most spirited and bitter rivalries in the history of Sound steamboating ensued. Rate wars, races and collisions were the order of the day. Pitched battles between the rival crews were not uncommon and every device was used to lure passengers.

 
A considerable description of Frank Bibbin's life is in "Van Olinda's History of Vashon-Maury Island" on p21.
