Announcement: A “Biby-Bibee-Bybee” Surname project has just been created at FamilyTreeDNA for determining the Y-DNA signatures of males named Biby, Bibee and Bybee and other variations who came to Colonial America (some who came to Virginia), in the 1600s or early 1700s. We are also attempting to determine the ancestral families for the Biby, Bibee and Bybee immigrants from the British Isles or elsewhere, to the English colonies, past and present.
You must be a male donor to participate in this Y-DNA Project.

Anyone interested in participating in the Biby-Bibee-Bybee Project can find more information on the new website: www.familytreedna.com/public/BibyDNA/ If you want to join, click on the tab called "Join Request" and follow the instructions.

FamilyTreeDNA has a Y-DNA sale going on now. The sale ends 7/26/2013.


Male descendants of the following Virginia-born Biby-Bibee-Bybee-Bibey males are especially important to this project:
John Bybee b. c1735-1821; Thomas Bibee b. c1734-1834; David Bybee b. c1735-1815; Edward Bybee b. c1750-1832; Pleasant Bybee b. 1758 d. 1835; Thomas Biby b. 1760 d. c1806; Samuel Bybee b. c1764;
Peter Bibee b. c1750.

Thanks so much, but is does not appear that Thompson Ellis Davidson was part of my DNA "Family 10" Davidson family. As such, the Bibee/Davidson "Y chromosome biological connection" was probably somewhere else (though the Young Davidson who came to Barren Co. KY from Campbell Co., VA by the 1830 census very well could have been a member of my DNA "Family 10"....research continues on that possibility). There was a Mr. Bibe on the 1810 Campbell Co., VA census, and Young Davidson's father David Davidson lived only a couple of "census pages away" from that Mr. Bibe.

By the way, the following webpage shows the father of Thompson E. Davidson in Barren Co., KY as a Thomas Davidson (who married an Ann Lewis), versus a Benjamin Davidson. Do you believe that this file is incorrect?

There was already a FTDNA website for this same general overall surname (with its many different spellings). Hence, why was this new project website created? Just curious.

I note that the three entries (so far) in your new project website all have the haplogroup of "I1." That is the haplogroup of my Davidson family, and I have a 35/37 DNA "marker match" to a Mr. Bibee....and I would love to find the "who/when/where" of the "biological connection." My Davidson family was in James City Co., VA by at least 1682.

This new Y-DNA project was started because my Biby family's YDNA matches exactly to a member of the Bybee family at 67 markers and we are in Haplogroup I1. Also, a Bibee family member matches us at 35/37 markers and is also in Haplogroup I1. The Bibee family is waiting for additional markers to be tested to determine if he matches more of our markers and to determine what the genetic distance will be at 67 markers. Hopefully, we will know within a month or sooner.

This new Project was created because the Beebe participants belong to the R1 Haplogroup and we belong to the I1 Haplogroup; therefore, we are not related to the Beebe family.

The only way we can establish a genetic signature for our Bibee-Bibey-Biby-Bybee lines is to ask others to join our public project and share a pedigree of their lines so we can try to determine our common ancestral heritage.

Thanks. I am an Admin for the Davidson/Davison/Davisson DNA testing project (that also uses FTDNA), so I know what you mean (you can never have enough men to take the DNA test for a particular surname). It seems clear that somewhere along the line, there was a "non-paternity event" that "biologically connected" the surname "Bibee" with the surname "Davidson" (all with the haplogroup of "I1"). Maybe someday we can determine the "who/when/where" of that "event."

I have six other closely matching Davidson DNA donors, four closely matching Bishop DNA donors and one good (and one or two "not so good"....a "genetic distance" of 4 at 37 markers) Bibee DNA matches. My Davidson family was in James City Co., VA by at least 1682, and it is pretty easy (after years of research and DNA testing) to trace me and my six fellow "Davidson DNA matches" back to that family. I wrote an e-mail to my "good Bibee DNA match"....but he did not answer.
