My Sibbitt line is as follows
1) Ancestral "James Sibbet" of Scotland and Ireland, a Presbyterian
minister,
who imigrated from around Belfast, Ulster (Northern Ireland) to New Jersey.
2) Solomon Sibbet (younger brother of Aaron Sibbet), a soldier in the
Revolutionary War and farmer in New Jersey, and later a member of the Militia
and a farmer in Pennsylvania, and a partner of Aaron Sibbet.
3) James Sibbet (nephew of Aaron Sibbet), a soldier in the War of 1812, and
a
farmer in Washington Co, PA.
4) John Sibbit/Sibbitt, a farmer in Greene County, PA, and later Washington
Co, PA, and even later a farmer in Vermillion Co, IL, close to Hoopeston, IL.
5) John William Sibbit/Sibbitt, a school teacher in Washington Co, PA, and
later a school teacher and farmer in Warren Co, IN.
6) William Harrison Sibbitt, a farmer in Warren Co, IN, and later Putnam Co,
IN.
7) Wilmer Lawrence Sibbitt, Sr. a professor at Purdue University, and later
a nuclear scientist at Oak Ridge Tennesse, and later at Los Alamos National
Laboratories.
8) Wilmer Lawrence Sibbitt, Jr. a professor at the University of New Mexico,
in the School of Medicine
And now we know that we Sibbitts or Sibbits based in or from Indiana,
Ilinois, Iowa, Nebraska, and Missouri are all the same family, the
Aaron-Solomon Sibbet family, or otherwise stated, the family of James Sibbet,
a Scottish and Scotch-Irish Presbyterian minister from the Belfast area who
immigrated to New Jersey. It is likely that James Sibbet was involved in
rebellious activities against the British in Northern Ireland, for legends of
the Sibbets being "traitors", "criminals", and "horse
thieves" who had to
flee Northern Ireland because they were wanted by the British, persist in my
family.
