I am part of that
long line of Tibbetts that you apparently painstakingly
researched. I am
way down from Hiram to Arthur. Arthur was my Grandfather.
I am Arthur Charles
Tibbetts lll. Have you taken the search any farther? I
noted that there was
a Stephen who was the father of William......... If
someone else is
involved with this pursuit or if you have other sources
that
I could try, I
would be very appreciative.
Thank You,

Hello Art,
Sure is good to hear from you, Art,
and happy that another Tibbetts
is interested in
the family history. Your email is the best Christmas gift I
could hope
for. I'm really excited that another
related Tibbetts has
surfaced after all
these years. I've not yet found the
parents of William
Tibbetts nor Rachel
Pomeroy but I have a lead on where they came from in
Maine thanks to
Susan Anderson a year or more ago. I'm
not a genealogist
and started
researching the family history with plenty of help from my
siblings and from
my father's only sister (only sibling), Alice (Tibbetts)
Johnson, who still
resides in Bremerton, WA and celebrates her 100th
birthday March 28,
2003. My original intention was to just
record data on
the living members
of the family for the future benefit of family members
using the internet
as a handy place to store it all. Well,
it's branched
out from
there. You are the first fellow
descendant of William and Rachel
that has contacted
me and I'm sure hoping you can help fill in lots of the
empty gaps - at
least in your family up to Hiram. I'm
sending you a long
report from the
Family Tree Maker program that I use to store and manage the
family history data
that I have. This is more up-to-date
than the web page
data that I haven't
bothered to keep up to date so well.
I'm hoping you can share your family
data with me. You can see what
little info I have
on the descendants of Hiram and you can change that if
you will help
me. If you haven't already done so, you
can start with
yourself and spouse
as a family group and write down full names, dates &
places of birth;
marriage; and death of both yourself, your spouse, and your
children. I have family group data sheets that I use
and will gladly send
you one you can
print out for each family group. Anything you know of the
family group data
of your siblings, your parents and grandparents and great
grandparents is
very welcome. It does not have to be
complete info to be
very valuable. You are obviously a generation younger than
I as your father
was in my
generation. I see that your ggf Hiram and my gf Charles Arthur
were both born in
Dodge County, Wisconsin. I hope to do
some online
searching there for
records of their birth. We spend most
of each year here
in Baguio City,
Philippines and stay mostly in Montana when we are in the
USA and I haven't
been in Wisconsin long enough in recent years to do any
serious
searching. Where do you live, Art?
Thanks so very much for your email
and hope we can help each other
out until we have a
complete history of William and Rachel's descendants.
Merry Christmas and
Happy New Year to you and yours.
Looking forward to
hearing from you. .

Hi Bob,
First of all...
“MERRY CHRISTMAS”
Thank you SO... Much for all of the work you
did on the family tree. When I
ran across your web
site I was thrilled with all of the information.
Wow, from Montana
to the Philipines, that’s quite a commute.
You are taking
the term “Snow
Birds” to the extreme. I have visited
the Philipines as a
sailor during the
Viet Nam war. Beautiful country. Loved the Mango Ice
Cream.
My wife and I are
now both retired from teaching in the small mountain
community, Lake
Isabella, California. We are about 25
miles from the Giant
Redwoods on the
Kern River. She is pursuing her hobby
of watercolor painting
and I am restoring
a turquoise blue 1956 Thunderbird. We
both enjoy
traveling and are
planning a mojor trip back east in our RV this coming
summer. Will probably stop in Eau Claire and Maine
to see what we can
discover about our
ancestors.
I am working on
filling in the blanks on my side of the tree.
I started
using your format.
( Thanks for the attachment) I have to verify some info,
but I should have
it to you in a few days.
About William and
Rachael. There is some information
available on film from
the LDS
church. I will try to get those films
after the holidays. for your
information they
are listed as: Family History Library Film 1255441 NA Film
Number T9-1441 page
number 42D.
I'm hooked !!!!
Really getting a kick out of this research.
Thanks again!!

Hi Bob,
I was real happy to recieve your e-mail.
Yes I would love to have you send me that file.
I will have to say
that most of the information about my siblings on your web site is wrong.
My mother: Phyllis Charolette Tibbetts,
the Galston was right but she was married to a man in NM who`s name was Engen
(not Engle) and he was not the father to any of us. Phyllis and Engen had no
children.
My siblings: Paul James Galston (Bub)
Born: Paul James Dayton, where that came from I
have no idea. Somewhere in east TX.
Dec. 25 1940 or 41
Died: Age 49 in St.
Paul MN. Cerebral Hemorrhage.
Mary Virginia Galston
(Babe)
Born: On my mothers
birthday 1943 or 44. I think it was on Jan. 21st.
Died: Age 50 in Homer
Ill. cancer
Clarence Galston
(Buddy)
Born: East Tx.
Adopted and was named Clarence Leveret.
Duncan Thomas Galston
Jr. (Butch)
Born: Strum Wi.
Dec.13, 1946. I heard from him last about a year ago from Mexico City, Mexico.
And last but
certianly not least, moi. Sort of joking.

Hello Art,
Thank you so very much for inputting
your family branch information.
I attach a report
produced by the Family Tree Maker program - I omitted from
this report the
'Notes' for your family group that simply contain copies of
your emails that I
put into the program for reference. I
hope you will
verify that I've
entered everything correctly. I
couldn't figure out how to
enter Buster and
Buddy Engle without their real first names so I entered
them using the
nicknames and also used the nickname feature to show that
they are
nicknames. Let me know if you find that
I should have entered
something
differently.
I sure appreciate your prompt and
extensive input, Art. Yes, it
does fill many gaps
in the Hiram Elmer branch and I've had an enjoyable
afternoon inputting
the data.
Cor and I drove through your area one
time when we were stationed at
Edwards AFB. It's a beautiful place and a great
retirement location. We
spent 2 tours at
Edwards (1971-1972) and (1974-1975) during my 26 years with
the USAF, retiring
in 1977 here at John Hay Air Station, Baguio City. We
married at
Whittier, CA in 1970.
I've spent many hours searching online
to Maine and
found several
William Tibbetts's that may be the connection to the past but
data usually has
only the name listed. I think we can
find much info in
Wisconsin.
Thanks again for the input and also
for the LDS film data, Art.
Have a great trip
east next year. Keep me in mind when you find more info
and I'll send you
updates when I get new data. Take care
. . . Bob

Hi Bob,
Thank you for the
information. I haven't had time yet to
do the search for
Stephen. I went to the LDS geneaology library in
Mesa, AZ last week while
visiting
there. I only got as far as the 1900
Census in Wisconsin on Hiram
Elmer
Tibbetts. I was surprised to see that
his wife's parents were from
Germany. I had difficulty reading her name, but I
think it was Lucy. His
occcupation was
listed as a deliveryman and he could not read or write or
been to
school. Love this stuff!!!! How is the weather in PI? I remember a
beautiful place
called Half Moon Bay near Subic.
We had snow!!
Thanks again,

Hi, Bob!
I got your name
& email from Andre Grimard who's been doing some research
for me. I'm the wife of David Lynn Tibbetts
(Arthur5, Arthur4,
Hiram3,??William
2). Actually, I am the third wife. David was married
to Marianne Bravo
May 20, 1970 & they had a daughter, Lisa Ann born April
20, 1971. They divorced and he later married Deborah
Ann Somosko Dec.
22, 1975 & they
had a son, John David born Sept. 26, 1976. They were
divorced in
1980. David & I were married Nov.
20, 1992. You obtained
some of the family
info from my husband's older brother, Arthur Charles
III. They haven't
been in touch for over 25 years, but then they never
were really
close. However, David would like to contact
him. Is his
email address
tibbettsaj@aol.com? Do you have a
physical address?
Andre also sent me
your family tree. Charles Arthur, Sr.
was Hiram's
brother & Hiram
was my husband's great grandfather. I
guess that makes
you two related in
some "shoe string" kind of way.
My husband knew
Arthur Charles,
Jr.'s brothers, Gaylord & Jimmie. He never met Mary, but
heard about
her. He wasn't positive, but he thought
there was a sister,
Phyllis, who died
young, but he never met her or knew anything about her.
Arthur Charles, Sr. was born March 4, 1895 in
Eau Claire WI and died
Oct. 22, 1960 in
Mesa AZ. David remembers visiting him
on a farm near
Mondovi WI when he
was very young. I have tried
unsuccessfully to find a
land deed in his
name. It was much later that he moved
to AZ and was a
used car
salesman. Arthur Charles, Sr. had 3
brothers, Henry, Leonard &
George but I have
no info on them. In my searches I kept
running into
Charles Arthur and
at first thought it was just a mistake and was our
Arthur
Charles. But I learned eventually they
were two different
persons, both born
in 1924 & both served in WWII, though in different
military branches.
I obtained the
marriage certificate for Hiram & Lucy Gabbert hoping to
learn their
parents' names, but none were listed. I
was intrigued
because they were
married on my birthday (Aug. 29th) and the marriage was
performed by a
Justice of the Peace listed as A. J. Tibbetts.
I thought
he must be related
to Hiram. I eventually learned that he
was a
prominent person in
Dunn County WI but did not seem to be related to
Hiram. A. J. (Abner)'s parents were Stephen &
Catherine who migrated to
WI in 1855 from PA.
David says the family mentioned their ancestors had
come from PA, but I
have researched every way I know how & I cannot make
a connection
between Hiram & A. J. or Catherine & Stephen. I receive a
newsletter from the
Dunn County Genealogical Society and I have had
genealogists at the
U. of WI search, but they could not find anything to
connect these
people with Hiram. I did find Hiram
purchased 2 lots in
Durand WI in 1883,
2 years before he married Lucy, but that's all. I do
have obits for
Stephen and A. J. which confirm their relationship, but
there is no mention
of Hiram in either.
I suspect you may
have gotten the Tibbetts line from Rootsweb as I did.
William &
Rachel Pomeroy Tibbetts are listed as Hiram's parents, but I
have not been able
to verify that as there's no birth certificate for
Hiram. I have his death certificate but under
parents' names it says
"unknown."
I guess you haven't
had any luck, either. Do you have info
on Lucy
Gabbert's family?
Hoping to hear from
you,
Denise G. Tibbetts

Hello Denise,
A very warm though belated 'Welcome to
our family.' I'm very glad
that you are
seriously involved in the family history and it appears you
have gone as far as
I in your search, if not farther. Our FTM program says
that David and I
are 2nd cousins, once removed. I became
interested in
family history in
1997 when I started a family website and found it a good
venue for
displaying such information. You can
find those early attempts at
http://www.skyinet.net/~marias
although I've not kept it updated as I should have
done. I do keep our FTM program updated with info
as received or found. I
cannot consider
myself a genealogist because I do not require absolute proof
of information on
input data. I'm more of a family
history buff. I
consider the family
data in our files to be quite accurate but not always
backed up by
documentary proof. I was impressed by the approach to family
history of Tedd
Mishler (see our website, above) who researches the family
of my paternal
grandmother. I originally asked for
family data from my 8
siblings and many
contributed with the bulk of the early data from my oldest
brother Charles
Arthur and his wife Caryll (Wheeler) who now live in
Harvest, Alabama
(sissywt@hiwaay.net). That's the
one who caused you
confusion with Arthur Charles. My
grandfather, Charles
Tibbetts (and a
brother of Hiram) we list as Charles Arthur but he is
carried in
Wisconsin Vital Records and in the 1900 Federal Census as Charles
E. Tibbitts. His
Town of Peru, Dunn County, Wisconsin Cemetery headstone has
him as Charles
Arthur Tibbetts.
I'm sending along a hiramtibbetts.pdf
file with all the info I have
(mostly from Arthur
Charles III) of Hiram's descendants including the emails
Art and I
exchanged. Yahoo People Search lists
Arthur C. Tibbetts, 6704
Dove Ct., Lake
Isabella, CA (760)379-2220. I have a photo of Art and his
wife Jane in the
scrapbook section of FTM but can't find a way to export
that photo. I'm sure the original is on our computer in
Montana as I can't
find it anywhere
here. I hope Art's email address is
still current. I've
sent him updates on
other family groups several times without a response. I
haven't heard from
him since we emailed although Steve Tibbetts (Chuck's
oldest son)
(t1bbetts@pacbell.net) who lives in Anaheim, California was in
contact with him
and Steve sent along the photo. I'm also sending along
excerpts from the
1880 Federal Census with my comments on various family
groups, mainly
because it includes Lucy Gabert's family data.
I wax and wane
continually on the
possibility of Stephen Tibbets of Downsville being the
father of
William. With your news that Abner was
the justice of peace who
married Hiram and
Lucy at Downsville, I'm leaning that way again. There are
other members who
cause confusion also. My fathers only
sibling, Mamie
Alice (Tibbetts)
Johnson, our Aunt Alice, is still going strong in
Bremerton,
Washington and will be 102 on March 28th.
I don't think Aunt
Alice accepts Oscar
Tibbetts as a son of William although his marriage
certificate (which
I've not seen) says he is. Andre says
they are all
listed together in
Dodge County, Wisconsin, on the 1860 Census.
I rely
mostly on the
RootsWeb county websites for info and the Dodge Co. site isn't
as up to date as
many - yet, and I haven't seen that census.
Anyhow, I can wait until your many sources
turn up something
that I'm sure you'll share with us, and I'll keep plugging along too. You're welcome to any
data I have,
Denise. Thanks so much for the helpful
email. It confirms
much and still
leave lots to search for. Waiting to
hear from you . . . Bob
Tibbetts
PS: I'm the second surviving son of Marvin Henry
Tibbetts and Inga Randina
Johnson. Marvin and Mamie Alice are the only known
children of Charles E.
(or Arthur)
Tibbetts and Mary Elizabeth Mishler.

Hi, Bob!
Thanks for the warm
welcome--and all the information. I
must tell you I
am
"green" about all the things available with a computer. For me, it
has been
intimidating and I have basically learned only what I need to
know to handle the
software for my job as a medical biller.
I've picked
up the genealogy
search after many years letting it lay dormant and I do
not have a computer
program to handle it. I'm still doing
it the old
fashioned way, on
paper with charts. This is like trying
to solve a good
mystery. You have to look for clues, and often you
overlook them. You
also have to be
creative in finding ways to get the information you need.
Looking at the information you sent, I got to
wondering about why there
is no mention of
William anywhere else that we've searched in WI.
Stephen was born in
1800 so it is possible that he was William's father.
However, in the
1880 Census that you sent it says William was born in
Maine. According to the lengthy obit I have for
Stephen, he was born in
Penobscot County,
Maine and went to Indiana when he was 22, a year before
William was born. Stephen spent 3 years there, then went to
Canada and
finally moved to
Jefferson County PA in 1828 & was married there in 1834.
He moved to WI in 1855. So, if the census is accurate, William could
not be Stephen's
son because Stephen never went back to Maine after 1822.
I suppose if you let your imagination run
wild, Stephen could have
fathered William
and then left town, and either didn't know or didn't
want to acknowledge
William as his son when he also moved to WI.
Pretty
far fetched, isn't
it?
The obit lists
Abner (A. J.) as Stephen's son. I found
it strange that
no parents' names
were listed on Hiram & Lucy's marriage certificate.
If Abner &
Hiram were related surely Abner would have known the parents'
names &
included them on the certificate. Of
course, there could be
other reasons,
too. One would think all the Tibbetts
living so close to
each other would be
acquainted. According to the obit,
Stephen was the
11th of 17 children
and the last one living. I think
William was the son
of one of the other
16, but how do we find out? Looking at
Stephen and
all the relatives
we've uncovered, the Tibbetts were pretty prolific!
Oh, and
incidentally, I asked Andre about Connocot.
He was not able to
find such a place,
not even in the early place names that have been
changed .
Are you familiar
with the names Enola Gay & Paul Tibbetts?
He flew the
Enola Gay, named
after his mother, to drop the A bomb in WWII.
David
said there was some
mention of him among the family and he thought he was
related in some
way. I've tried to research that angle,
too. I got
Paul's birth
certificate which gave the parents' names and I read a book
on his
history. By a strange twist of fate I
was given the name of a man
here in Phoenix who
had flown with Paul Tibbetts. He said
Paul had been
here a short time
before for a reunion of their unit. He
told me Paul
was still flying
and has an airplane freight business in Columbus Ohio.
He gave me the name
of the airfield so I could write him, but warned me
that he was still
protected by secret service and was a very private man.
I wrote, but I never got a reply. The letter never came back so I
suspect he got it
and was advised not to reply. One of my
daughters
recently moved to
the Columbus area and sent me a photo & article about
Paul Tibbetts so
he's still alive & going strong even though he's in his
80s. So far I haven't been able to make a
connection. I think his line
settled in southern
Illinois. A friend who's a genealogy buff
is from
that area and gave
me a lot of history of Tibbetts in that area, but none
seemed to connect
with the ones in Wisconsin
My mother was born
in Eau Claire & my father in Plymouth, so my family
history is also in
WI in some of the same areas. I've been able to trace
my mother's family
back to the 1700s in Boston but it's getting very hard
to find
records. I try to verify all the
connections I make. I've had a
lot of problems
with my father's line and am stuck in the 1800s in New
York.
I'll let you know
if I make any more discoveries. Keep in
touch.
