My great-grandmother married to James Agnew was a Bybee. Her name was Clara E., nick name Carrie. A few minutes on the ancestry site today told me that he father was married twice. He married Ann(a) Easum in 1855, they had 3 children & then she died in 1865. There were 2 brothers and Carrie born during that time. He then is found in 1870 with a new wife, Nancy, age 24. My records show he would have been 34 in 1870, but he gives his age as 30, perhaps to be closer to his wife’s age. However, she is not the mother of the 3 older kids, because they were all born before the 1st wife dies in 1865. Carrie was only 5 years old at the time of her mother Anna’s death. In 1870, William Bybee and his wife Nancy have a one-year-old little boy, Robert W. (probably William). Have have zero information about William R. Bybee’s parents OR Ann Easum Bybee’s parents. Carrie and her siblings were all born in Indiana, probably near or in New Albany.
As usual, my family line is shrouded in mystery and little information. I am now connected to other BYBEES through ancestry.com. They have an organization to connect all the cousins, a BYBEE family organization. None of them know much at all about our Indiana line. Go figure!
