- Wiseman Family and Allied Lines (Eugene Wiseman, 1991), Page 320 states, The Bybee (Bibby) family comes from Coppull, Standish Parish, Lancaster County, England. English records show the following of that name through the history of that parish from as early as 1280. There we find William Bibby (1280-1340, Henry Bibby (1300-1365), Nicholas Bibby (1420-1479), Thomas Bibby (1545-1625), and William Bibby (1598-1637). Old Lancaster records show a "George Byby" (Bibby) of Coppull married Jenet Heworth on 4May 1621. Contained in the records of Lancaster County are the following wills: James Bibby of Coppull (1677), William Bibby of Worthington (1688), John Bibby of Coppull (1689), Matthew Bibby of Worthington (1757), William Bibby of Worthington (1759). A John Bibby of Liverpool, Lancaster County whose will was dated 1808, was a very prominent ship owner. His fleet of more than a dozen ships, was one of the most prosperous engaged in English coastal trade. His biographer chained his descent from the Coppull, Standish Parish, Bibbys.
Eastern Shore where William died is not a town, he actually died on the eastern shores of Virginia. He migrated to Virginia on the ship called "Swan", landed and settled at Accomack Plantation on June 1620. His wife Mary, whom he married before leaving England did not join him until the spring of 1636. Mary arrived on the ship "Margaret and John". Their son Edmond, born in 1637 was no doubt named for Sir Edmund Scarborough, with whom William Bibby was associated. William died on his oriinal 400 acre farm which was located on the lower peninsula, next to the farm of Captain William Epp, with whom he had been long associated with.
