Hi Holly,
Yes, I am very aware of this line, although haven't done much research beyond 1760. A recent YDNA test of 67 markers on my Biby line matched exactly to a descendant of the John Bybee (1735-1821) line, son of John Bybee born 1705. Now I know that I am barking up the right tree! Many have always thought that many of the Biby, Bybee,and Bibee lines are related and this certainly proves it. If more Bibys, Bybees, Bibees, Bibbys, Bibey, etc. were to be tested, we might be able to expand and sort out additional lines.
I believe my line descends from Thomas Bybee born 1760 to John Bybee and Jean Giles. I am still trying to find the complete papertrail that will connect the Thomas Biby born on 1760 to my line. I believe this Thomas is the father of my 3rd greatgrandfather below.
Micajah Biby (Son)
