| Ersnt von Bibra father, Ferdinand Johann Wenzel von Bibra 1756. + 1807, fought under General Jean Baptiste de Rochambeau in Revolutionary War on behalf of colonies. |
| Eduard von Bibra - my grandfather's address book from around 1930 lists Eduard von Bibra at 2507 Brooklyn Ave. Boyle Heights (Los Angeles) or Wilhelmsdorf 4 Jugostrasse 19, Bezirk Wien Unsolved mystery, perhaps Edmund von Bibra below or someone else |
| "Bibras" in Illinois - Bibras in Illinois in 1860. An "Edmund von Bibra", wife Sophia, and young son Edmund. Age 38 in 1860. A physician born in Hungary and she in Prussia. Their marriage certificate from Adams county, Illinois in September 20, 1857 lists name as "Edmond Von Bibrera" and Sophie Helle. Edmund's wife apparently remarried in 1873. Their daughter, "Sophie von Bibra" (age 21, born in Chicago) , married in 1885 to Charles Smith a banker. These two marriages were in Tazewell, Illinois. An "Edmo V. Bibra" was inducted and discharged into a Light Artillery unit in Missouri during the US Civil War (1861-1865). I could not tie Edmund to family tree despite good records. Beginning to wonder if from "von Bibran-Modlau" family. |
| "Friedrich Henrich von Bibra of Modlau, Silesia", traveled to America in 1759 the same year he subscribed to the “der Nord Carolina Land und Colonie Etablissement.” Appears to be almost certainly from an a different family due to a misreading. Probably "Friedrich Heinrich von Bibran-Modlau of Silesia" another family. Link to one reference to his ownership #26 |
| The other New York "Bibras" - Carl von Bibra 1830-1899, listed as "CARL BIEBRA" on son's birth certificate Gravestone also at Greenwood Cemetery (see top) has "KARL UND CHRISTINA VON BIBRA" A "Carl Von Bibra" enlisted as wagoner in military as wagoner at age 28. Likely same person. Frederick's descendants live through the US. I have information on this. Despite some effort, I have not been able to tie Frederick to von Bibra family. There are other people in Germany with last name "Bibra" with no known connection to the "von Bibra" family or could be from the above "von Bibran-Modlau" family which is sometimes referred to as "von Bibra". |
