Your email was exciting. It does, unfortunately, not give me much more than I have but does confirm and help to establish, or document, our ancestor George Adams Bibby's history. Perhaps we shall never know who the Adams family were or why the Bibbys "took him in" but that is indeed the story that has been passed down through this branch of the family. Isn't it strange that when Margaret Bibby came to the U.S. that she did not be in touch with her grandfather in Clearfield Co., Pa. I have never seen anything that shows that the two families were ever together, the McLaughlins & Bibbys. I did find an old photo in my grandparent's stuff that showed a grave marker in Scotland with grandfather's brother George's name as George Adams. Also all the sons of George Adams Bibby used the Adams name as a middle name so they kept it in the family. My grandfather, the only one born after they came to the U.S. he never had the Adams name included in his records.! I am happy to be in touch with another Bibby relative, please keep in touch and feel free to contact me with any info. I have more on the Bibbys and will be happy to share and compare. I have been in touch with another McLaughlin relative who has has sent me photos of the McLaughlin grave markers. Your info. will add to this branch, again thanks so much for your reply.
