Welcome To The Hibbitt Family History Website
Let me introduce myself - my name is Annie Barnes
(originally Anne Mary Hibbitt) and this site is the result of my research into
my family history. It's very much a
work-in-progress; I'm continuing to gather information and put this data
together. The · sitemap page
shows you what you can find on my site and regular visitors might want to check the ·
what's new page to keep up-to-date with my latest findings.
I always enjoy hearing from fellow researchers and
distant cousins and would appreciate you taking the time to send
me a message. It's possible that I may have further information on a
specific individual
than is currently shown on this site so if you want to know more please
do get in touch. NEW ...And
to all visitors, may I invite you to leave
a comment in my guestbook before you go.
How To Explore My Family Tree
Listed below are 3 different ways to get to the
information you are looking for:
(1) You may wish to begin by using the search
box below.
(This facility can also be accessed from every page of this
website using the ·search link
in the navigation bar.)
(Tip: For multiple word
searches, choosing 'all words' or 'exact
phrase' may yield
more accurate results than 'any word'.
Note - these results don't include the gallery
which has its own search engine within the gallery pages.)
Note: women are listed under their maiden
names.
My direct ancestors can be easily identified because their
Christian names, as well as their surnames (where known), appear in
capital letters.
(2) Alternatively, click on the ·family
tree link, choose a surname and then, from the subsequent
page, select an individual and follow the links to the information
you want to see.
(3) Lastly, you could, if you wish, start with
the pedigree links of my grandparents:
'BIOGRAPHY and SOURCE NOTES' links on the family
tree pages
are worth viewing as more information is available for these people and, in many
cases, a short story of what is known about them.
When you see a 'PEDIGREE' link, it will take you to a page displaying
that person's direct ancestors.
To protect their privacy, living people have been excluded from the index.

The Hibbitts and Newbolds were residing in Exton,
Rutland in the
late 18th/early 19th centuries. My line subsequently moved to various parts of Gloucestershire and later generations
lived in Worcester, Birmingham, Ireland and Devon. The
Pitcher family came from Lydney in Gloucestershire, then Rockhampton and
next Uley/Coaley,
and later, Arlingham, all in Gloucestershire. The Worgan family were
located in Woolaston in the Forest of Dean and the Fryers, Taysoms and
Kings were in Arlingham, as well as Fretherne and Westbury on Severn,
also in Gloucestershire. There were several Fryer families in Arlingham
and my line were specifically from the area known as Overton.

In the 18th century, the Dandos were in Dursley and
Rodborough, in Gloucestershire. Many of them were
hat makers/manufacturers and they had strong connections with Calvinistic
Methodism and were acquainted with the famous Methodist preacher, George Whitefield. Later generations
moved to Bristol but
they also resided in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA, and some in New
York. They also had connections with Australia, New Zealand, Manchester,
London, Middlesex and Devon. The Oliver family came from Yorkshire. The
Frees, Finchams and Ashbys originated from Hadstock in Essex, very close to the
market town of Saffron Walden.

Most of these ancestors originated from
