Notes

Samuel moved from Litchfield CT to Hampton NY in 1774 and apparently was the first male Bibbins to move out of CT in 80 years. His home (no longer standing) was on what is still known as Bibbins Hill. He served at least 2 terms in the Revolutionary War, the first from 8-21-77 to 10-21-77 as a private in Capt Enoch Noble's Berkshire Co MA Regiment and marched to Manchester VT, Allinton and Stillwater NY where he participated in the victory over Gen. Burgoyne. He later enlisted 10-15-80 serving with Col John Ashley's Regiment for 3 days at the time Ft Edward and Ft Ann were captured by the British.

In 1788 Samuel and Deborah hosted a meeting of two Methodist circuit riders , Lemuel Smith and Samuel Wigden, from Saratoga leading to the expansion of the church into the Hampton area with their active assistance. 2 of his sons, 2 grandsons and at least one great-grandson became Methodist ministers. Samuel also served a Hampton Commissioner of Schools in 1796. He was listed in the 1800 census but not in 1810.

His date of death is unknown but The History of Fair Haven VT says "Samuel was said to be a resident of Fair Haven in 1809".

Widow Deborah associated with Methodist church in Stillwater 1811 - lv next door to Thos Armstrongs in 1830 (Butler NY)

Another BIBBINS branch comes from Samuel. Charles Hilmer Bibbins, who was born in 1932, visited Eugene Benjamin Bibbins (born 1911 -q.v.) in 1991 and provided much of the early BIBBINS/BEVIN information for us. He is working on a family tree which will include all the BIBBINS family.
