Bell (8/02-10/03 Red)
I am trying to trace several families who lived in Exton during the 18th and 19th century. Are you descended from John Bell who married Mary Revell in Langham in 1799 but moved to Exton and had 6 children: - Frances born 1800 and married John Bradshaw, 1 known son - John; William born 1803 and married Elizabeth Bryant, 11 children; John born and died in 1805; Henry born 1806 and died 1814; Mary Ann born 1808 and married John Brian, Mary Ann died in 1840, 4 months after her wedding; Elizabeth born 1810, died 1823; Are you descended from Frances or William?

I Need Help! Hibbitt Family (8/02-10/03 Red)
I need some HELP! I am related way, way back to the Hibbitt Family of Exton, Rutland. In particular, if you follow the line through Luke Hibbitt (1835 ñ 1925) and Sarah Ann Rudkin, (Luke was my great, great Grandfather), going back through to Luke Hibbitt (1806 ñ 1894) and Ann Rudkin, back further to Luke Hibbitt (1776 ñ 1830) and Ann Tyler, back even further to Luke Hibbitt (1744 ñ 1798) and Elizabeth Newman, and finally to John Hybot (1690 ñ 1763) and Ann Tubbs. My father is John Arthur Hibbitt (1932), his father (my grandfather) was John Cecil Hibbitt, whose father in turn, (my great grandfather) was John Thomas Hibbitt (1868), and his father being Luke Hibbitt (1835 ñ 1925 ñ my great, great grandfather), the line then follows all the way through back to John Hybot and Ann Tubbs as above. John Hybot married twice more, in fact, Ann Tubbs was his third wifeÖ He first married Sarah Peeregood in 1712 and had three children, she died in 1719. Anyone have any information on this marriage and family line up to the present? Then he married Mary Bottom in 1720 and had three, possibly four children, again has anyone got any information on this marriage and family line up to the present? I have...
