I just now saw your post from 2002. I am a Lybarger descendant from the family of Samuel Lybarger who immigrated to Southern Illinois, Chester Co., in 1818 from Bedford Co., PA. He had a son, James Lewis, who was the father of my g-grandmother, Mary Alice Lybarger who m. John H. Bourland in Centralia in 1872. Their oldest child was my grandmother, Carrie Belle Bourland. I have information on my line back to the earliest Lybarger immigrants to this county. If further interest, feel free to reply.
