Looking for info on the parentage of Ellen Madora Tibbetts. She was born Jan. 13, 1859 in Columbia Falls, Washington Cty., ME and died in Sept. 1927. She was married three times. I am related to her thru her 2nd marriage to Albert Green Farnsworth. I would love to find out where she is buried and perhaps get a copy of any burial info. | ||
| Ethelind Wright |
Page 1107 of the 1860 census for Columbia, dwelling 741, family 826 has the following: Jerome B. Tibbetts, 27, day laborer, b. Maine Ellen, 20, b. Ireland (cannot read and write) Ellen M., 3, b. Maine Margaret C., 2, b. Maine There is no other Ellen of the right age in Columbia in the 1860 census. | ||

Thank you Ethelind...I did have that info...but your info on the mother being from Ireland helps...I have Ireland written down but only because someone told me...I had no documentation on it. I did find some pics of Ellen Madora T. that my grandmother had. She was vacationing on Foster Island in ME when they were taken. | ||

RoseMarie...you can always write to library's Research Department and ask what is avaialbe on the person you seek and the cost for any zerox copies of documents. Ask for copies of any death announcements or obits. Those always seem to help take you a tstep further back. Also try writing to surrounding libraries...you can get their addresses and, in some cases, e-mail addresses at libraryspot.com. Once you get into the site, click on public libraries in the lefthand yellow column. Then click on the top center selection called Public Libraries. From there chose a state. If your library isn't there, write to one that is in a city close by. I use this method and have had good responses. If fact, I just got two long articles about a family ancestor in Massachusetts. Also, try your local Family History Center. You may be able to check out a copy of "Early Pleasant River Families of Washington County, ME" by Leonard Tibbetts. You may find your people in it. I did...but then most of my Tibbetts were in Washington County. Maybe some of yours came from there at one point too. Remember that the Tibbitts name was spelled different sometimes too. I found some of mine had spelled it Tabbutts so now I look for any spelling variation. Good luck. | ||

I am searching for information on my g grandfather George B. Tibbetts or Gray. He was listed in the 1850 census as George Tibbetts, 6 yrs old with Mary widow of William Gray and her family and in the 1860 census as George Gray, 16 yrs old still living with Mary and her family. We have heard that he was the child of Wesley Gray but don't know where the name Tibbetts came from. He was born Sept. 25 1843 in Windsor, Kennebec Co. Maine. He married Helen Irene Parker 1876 in Red River Parish, La. and lived there until he died. Any help with these ancestors will be so appreciated. Thanks. | ||

I am searching for information on Nathaniel Tibbetts born sometime between 1821 & 1824 in Boothbay. He was married to Mary barrows of the Barrows family of South Paris. He enlisted in the service in 1862 in Bucksport Me. He died in 1865 in Penn from wounds and disease he received in Va. We are trying to connect him to the Boothbay Tibbetts but are having a hard time finding any information. We think he may have been from Ichabod Tibbetts line but not sure. If anyone may have run across this Nathaniel could you please contact me. It would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Linda Page | ||

If you look up the name Mccard, here, you'll find her Husband and children but Im looking for her parents and if she had any siblings. Also it is said in the family she was a full blooded Indian. Some say Narragansett, But Ive researched the Abenaki and narragansett and it seems that the 1st one is the more likley to be right "If" she was an indian, that is all I know about her. She is buried in Mills cem in Exeter, Me. Thanks! | ||

TABBOT My name is spelled ...TABBOT... (not Tabbutts or Tibbetts as in this forum). We can barely trace our family at all! ... All we can find are the family members that we personally knew. ... We know we are from Brunswick, GA and Jacksonville, FL. The first ...TABBOT... to come to Brunswick, GA was my great great grandfather. All my family knew him except me because he died before I was born. He came to Georgia from Maine. ... We know this, but we can not trace any ...TABBOT... related to him beyond this. Can anyone please HELP?! ... Here is as far back as I can go: I am William Wallace Tabbot b. 1963 Spartanburg, SC ... My father is Milton LePrade Tabbot b. 1927 Brunswick, GA ... My grandfather was Eugene Stillman Tabbot, Jr. b. 1902 Brunswick, GA d. 1982 Spartanburg, SC ... My great grandfather was Capt. Eugene Stillman Tabbot, Sr. b. 1874 Brunswick, GA d. 1960 Brunswick, GA ... My great great grandfather was Capt. James William Tabbot b. 1832 or 1835 Maine (possibly Washington County) d. 1906 Brunswick, GA (his father and mother both born in Maine) ... His mother (my 3rd great grandmother) may be Alydia (or Lydia) B. Moore from Swans Island, Hancock County, Maine. But we do not understand why her last name was Moore?! ... Is Moore her maiden name or a name by a second marriage? ... We are not sure??? ... She is burried in Oak Grove Cemetery in Brunswick, GA. She died in Brunswick, GA in 1883. She was born abt 1806 0r 1807 in Mount Desert Maine. She came to Brunswick, GA from Swans Island, Maine to live her last years with her son and daughter-In-Law and their children sometime between 1870 - 1880. ... Her tombstone in the Tabbot Family Plot in Oak Grove Cemetery, Brunswick, GA lists her last name as "Moore" and that she is from Hancock County, Maine. So we think she is my great great grandfather's, Capt. James William Tabbot, mother. ... But, we do not know how to connect him to our family line in Maine or who his father was. If his mother remarried, who was her second husband? DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY INFORMATION ABOUT THIS PART OF THE TABBUTT FAMILY LINE? ... THAT's AS FAR AS I CAN GO!!! PLEASE HELP! There is some thought that at some point while in Maine our name may have been spelled ...TABBUT or TABBUTT... That's why I'm here seeking your help. Does anyone know? If this is the case, then we may have come to Maine from Massachusetts because of the fact that prior to 1820, Maine was actually York or Yorkshire County, Mass. Maine did not become a state until 1820. Hence, it was a part of Massachusetts until that time. Can anyone help me trace my family or at least point me in the right direction? I welcome everyone's thoughts on this. The more input I can get the better! ... PLEASE EVERYONE RESPOND. Thanks for all your help, William Wallace Tabbot P.S.: You may post here but please feel free to e-mail me at tabbot@earthlink.net as well. ... Thanks again! | ||

Tibbetts from Woolwich, and Bath, ME. Searching for information on the folowing Tibbetts family: Mary Gould, daughter of Nathaniel Gould and Mary Carlisle married James Tibbetts 24 Dec 1833. He died abt 1843. They had two sons: Albert Tibbetts b. Abt. 1836 and James Mark Tibbetts b. abt 1840. Mary Gould Tibbetts then married Andrew Tibbetts (James' brother) and they had a daughter, Eugenia, b. abt 1844. They are said to have moved to Bath, ME. | ||

I am looking for the parents and siblings of James William Tabbot b. 1832 or 1835 in Maine (possibly Mount Desert or Addison) d. 25 Mar 1906 in Brunswick, GA. I believe we know who his mother was but are not sure if she is his biological mother or not because she has a different last name than his. It is clear though, that he considered her his mother and only mother. So this point could be quite telling. Her name is Alydia (or Lydia) B Moore b. abt 1806 in Mount Desert, Maine d. 8 Dec 1883 in Brunswick, GA. We find her in the 1850 census living in Addison, Maine (though her age is off a little in this census, it is clear she is the same person). Then in the 1870 census we find her living at Swans Island, Maine. By the 1880 census she has come to live with her son James William Tabbot at his home in Brunswick, GA until her death in 1883 (the 1880 census has her listed as his mother-in-law born in Georgia but we know this is not correct). She is buried in the JW Tabbot family plot at Oak Grove Cemetery in Brunswick, GA. Her tombstone inscription reads as follows: "In Memory Of My Mother ... Alydia B. Moore ... Born In Mt. Desert, Maine ... Died In Brunswick, GA ... Dec. 8, 1883 ... Aged 77 years. ... Having Served Her Generation By The Will Of God She Fell Asleep" What I need to know... Is she his biological mother or his mother by some other means (i.e. formal adoption, informal adoption, stepmother, etc.)? ... Who is his biological father ( his last name would be TABBOT/TABBOTT/TABBUT/TABBUTT/TIBBETTS...etc.)? ... What happened to his father? ... Who are his biological siblings (if any)? ... Was James William Tabbot (b. 1832 or 1835) born in Mount Desert, Maine or Addison, Maine or elsewhere? ... We know he was born in Maine. His parents were both born in Maine. He shows up in Brunswick, GA at least by 1866 when he applies for and receives his Bar Harbor Pilot's license. He worked as a Harbor Pilot Boat Captain in Brunswick Harbor, Brunswick, GA the remainder of his life with 2 of his sons who were also Pilot Boat Captains (Capt. Eugene Stillman Tabbot & Capt. William W Tabbot) ... But, where was he and what was he doing between the time of his birth in 1832 or 1835 and when we finally locate him in 1866 in Brunswick, GA? ... Especially the Civil War years between 1860 and 1866? ... It seems strange that a "yankee" would be sailing to the south (Georgia) during those turbulent years in our nation's history! I appreciate any help anyone could provide on these questions or anything else on my Tabbot family history. Thanks, William Wallace Tabbot P.S.: You may post here but please feel free to e-mail me at tabbot@earthlink.net as well. ... Thanks again! | ||

Looking for families Tibbetts/White of Kittery Maine. And surrounding areas. Would like to research any links to this name and find out where they came from-England? and when. | ||

My surname is "Tabbot" but I know that my great great grandfather, James William Tabbot was born in Maine as was his parents. It also appears that I am related in some way to the Tabbutt/Tibbetts of Washington County, Maine but originally came to Falmouth, Maine from England. We may be able to be of some help to each other in our research. Given that your name is Tibbetts, we may actually be related in some way . The problem is in finding out just how. Something you may find interesting, I had DNA testing done to see if there were any matches. I did in fact have an exact match with a man with the surname "Tibbits." I believe this may be a variant of your name "Tibbetts." From these DNA results I feel certain that though I am a Tabbot, I am genetically related to some Tibbetts. I just have never been able to find anyone with your exact spelling "Tibbetts" who had also been tested to compare results with in order to confirm this. Have you ever done a DNA test for your genealogy research? ... If not, you should consider having it done though the sample would have to be taken from a male "Tibbetts" for the paternal line because only males carry the y chromosome. But the male could be your husband if he is where you get the Tibbetts name from. Or... If Tibbetts is your maiden name it could come from your father, brother, uncle, cousin, etc. just as long as they are male Tibbetts. ... If you have already been tested or plan to I would love to compare results to see if I am related to the Tibbetts from Maine and see if we are related in some way. ... It could greatly help in both our genealogy research as a whole. We may very well have some common ancestors!  Another interesting point as it relates to how the Tabbot's and Tibbets from Maine are related. This family spelled their names many different ways even amoung brothers in the same household. It is believed that the original spelling of at least the Maine family was "Tabbut or Tabbutt." Then some of these Tabbutt/Tabbut's adopted the name "Tibbetts" just like your name! ... They did this sometime in the late 1700's. Therefore, it would not be uncommon for you to find that you, named "Tibbetts," are also related to people with the surname "Tabbut", "Tabbutt", or even "Tabbott" or "Tabbot" like mine is spelled. ... We may very well be distant cousins of some sort. You may post here but please feel free to e-mail me directly at tabbot@earthlink.net if you would like to discuss further any of this about the Tabbot/Tibbetts line.

William...I am a descendent of the Tibbetts/Tabbots. I am the first poster of this thread by the way. My first Tibbetts ancestor was Ellen Madora Tibbetts, born in Columbia Falls, ME on 3 Jan 1859. She married my 2g-grandfather, Albert Green Farnsworth Of Milbridge, ME. For the past 10 years I have been in touch with several others who are doing work on the Tibbetts line so I have collected a LOT of stuff. I have an old letter that talks about how the Tibbetts may have changed the spelling of their surname from Tibbetts to Tabbuts for a time because there was a Tabbutt who was very rich and had passed away and the Tibbetts wanted to see if they could get any of the money. The letter doesn't explain anything else. I haven't worked on this line for awhile as I have a handful of brickwalls and have been jumping from one to the other. | ||

Hi Debbie, Have you or any Tibbetts/Tabbutt/Tabbot males ever done any genealogical DNA testing for this family? ... If so, I would love to compare results! ... If not, would you, or anyone you know that is related to the family, consider DNA testing to help with the Tibbetts/Tabbutt/Tabbot research? William Wallace Tabbot tabbot@earthlink.net | ||
