Dear Sherry,
Isaac Michael Van Bibber 1725-1774 was killed in what is proclaimed one of the first battles - Battle of Point Pleasant in what was then Virginia. His son James Sr. is my line. Sometime after James Sr. they spelled it Van Bebber and that is how it is today.
Isaac was 49 when he was killed and left his family the youngest one under two I think.
Sincerely,
Norma Lou Van Bebber Blake

Isaac married Sarah Davis on 27 Nov 1768 in Cecil Co, Maryland. Sarah was born about 1730 in North Carolina; died in 1796 in Virginia. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
