1 JOHN HYBART died before 10 March 1810 married Mary ___ born 1764 in Wales, died 24 October 1820, Fayetteville,
North Carolina.
The origins of John Hybart are not known with any great degree of certainty. It seems likely that he was the John
Hybart whose signature appeared on a petition presented by Charles Drayton, Esquire, on behalf of himself and some
60 others to the First Council of Safety of the Revolutionary Party in Charleston, South Carolina, in August 1775,
requesting authority to form a company of foot for the Province of South Carolina. He apparently had second thoughts
about supporting the Revolution and in a memorial (claim for losses) made to the British government after the
Revolution he stated:
To the Comm app by Act of Parl for enquiring into the Losses and Services of the Am
Loyalists
The Memorial of John Hybart Sheweth.
That early in the year 1776 that your Memorialist actuated by principles of Loyalty removed
from South Carolina to West Florida. And in 1779 took Arms in defence of the Royal Cause
in which he unfortunately Lost the use of his left Arm at the siege of Augusta in Sep 1780
And in conseq of his Wound suffered a long and painful illness which was attended with
a very heavy expence to your Memorialist.
That your Memorialist in conseq of his Loyalty and attachment to his Majestys person and
Governm proved obnoxious to the Rebels by which he has suff a Loss of prop amounting
to £660 Sterling as will appear by the Annexed Shedule_
Your Memorialist therefore prays that his Case may [be] taken into your Considerat in order
that y Memorialist may be enabled under your Rep to receive such Aid or relief as his
Losses and Serv may be found to deserve_
John Hybart
Further research into the files of the British Public Record Office in London has been published recently and is
quoted below:
JOHN HYBART.
Of South Carolina. A native of Wales, Hybart immigrated to America in 1773, taking with
him goods worth £400 sterling. He settled in Charleston, and in 1774 or 1775 became a
deputy to the Surveyor General of Woods. In June 1776 Hybart moved to West Florida, and
obtained a similar post. He went to Savannah in 1779, and was appointed an ensign in the
King's Rangers; in the following year he raised forty men and became a lieutenant. Hybart
lost the use of his left arm as the result of a wound received during the siege of Savannah.
He sailed for England when his regiment was reduced, and received half pay as a lieutenant.
Hybart had three tracts of uncultivated land, totalling 900 acres. His claim for £708 was
disallowed for want of proof.
On 5 February 1783 a warrant was issued at the British Headquarters in New York to pay Lt. John Hybart of the
King's Rangers 85£.3s.4d, one year's pay, from His Majesty's Bounty, for the loss of the use of his left arm resulting
from a wound suffered in action at Augusta on 16 September 1780. He was also placed on half-pay as a retired
officer. Several accounts of the siege at Augusta are available. During the siege the Americans diverted the stream
supplying water to the King's Rangers. In desperation, the King's Rangers were forced to relieve their thirst by
fulfilling part of a threat described in the Old Testament.
Records of the provincial officers serving during the Revolution show that Lt. John Hybart served in the King's
Carolina Rangers for 3 years, was born in England, and was a surveyor in civilian life. One family tradition states that
the father of Henry Hugh Hybart and John Hugh Hybart was born in France of English parents.
Muster rolls show that Lt. Hybart served in Captain Joseph Smith's company. On 24 April 1781 the company was
at Augusta, but John Hybert was listed as recruiting in Charleston. On 24 October 1781 he was with the company at
Savannah. At this time his signature was fixed on the roll and spelled Hybart although spelled Hybert elsewhere
(probably by a clerk). The company was at St. Augustine on 1 November 1782 where he was listed as "absent since
5 October 1782." On 25 April 1783 he was listed as "on leave", the company was still at St. Augustine.
John Hybart was eligible to receive 2000 acres of land in Canada after the Revolution. Land was set aside near
Country Harbor in Nova Scotia for the Carolina Rangers, but many of them chose their land in other parts of Canada.
In a letter written 1 March 1791 from 7 Cartwright St. Westminster to Evan Nepean, John Hybart asked for
compensation for sufferings and property lost in America. He also requested passage to Nova Scotia or Canada and
the allowance normally granted to soldiers and refugees at the end of the war. A Government Bounty (not transferable)
to John Hybart for Canada was signed in London on 14 May 1792 by Henry Motz. Information in this Bounty showed
that John Hybart had a wife, two children under 10 years of age, and two servants. He was given passage, provisions,
bedding, clothing, implements and family lands agreeable to the General Plan with 500 acres of land for himself. A
gratuity of £26 was paid.
Land records in Canada show that John Hybart received grants totaling 750 acres in Loughborough Township,
Frontenac County, Ontario. This land is in the rear of Kingston in the Midland District east of Lake Loughborough
and is now in Storrington Township. On 29 April 1793 he was assigned lots 17 and 18 in Concession 1 containing 400
acres which was not transferable. On 17 May 1802 John Hybart was issued a Crown Patent for lot 18 containing 201
acres. On 4 December 1832 an Order in Council assigned lot 18 to John and Jane Campbell. Apparently, John Hybart
had not settled on the land and forfeited it. On 1 July 1794 John Hybart was assigned lot 23 containing 200 acres and
3/4 of lot 25 containing 150 acres in Concession 5 which was not transferable. All of the land assignments were made
by Alexander Aitkens, Deputy Surveyor.
On 31 July 1794, Basil, son of John and Mary Hybart of Charlottenburgh Township (Glengarry County, Ontario)
was baptized in Cornwall by Rev. John Langhorn (Anglican) of Ernestown Township (Addington County, Ontario).
One source indicates that the Florida Rangers, King's Rangers, and Carolina Rangers were part of the East Florida
Rangers which were raised on the Georgia-Florida border in June 1779 and merged with the Georgia Loyalists in June
1782. Afterwards they were disbanded in New York.
During the early years of the American Revolution many who were loyal to the king moved from the Atlantic
colonies and settled in West Florida. Many settled as planters along the Alabama and Tombigbee Rivers in what is now
Alabama as well as in the towns of Pensacola, Mobile, and Natchez. Many of the records of British West Florida were
destroyed by fire, piracy, and war so that little can be found of the everyday activities of the people of this colony.
The next record found of a Hybart in America is the following advertisement which appeared on 15 May 1807
in the "North Carolina Intelligencer", a newspaper published at Fayetteville, North Carolina.
MRS. HYBART
Formerly Midwife to the Middlesex Hospital, London... Respectfully begs leave to inform
the Ladies, that she is just arrived in Fayetteville (and taken a house near to Mr.
Leod' [McLeod]) where she intends following her profession. Therefore humbly solicits the
attention of those that may require one in her line. She farther begs to say, that she has,
scientifically, studied midwifery: consequently acquainted with the various operations
necessary to be known in that art: as her different Diplomas will sufficiently evince.
Middlesex Hospital, founded in London in 1745, became England's first maternity hospital in 1747. At first
women were prohibited from acting as midwives, but on 26 September 1752 the first female students were introduced
into the hospital for the purpose of following the practice of midwifery.
On 10 March 1810, in Fayetteville, Cumberland County, North Carolina, Mary Hybart was appointed
administrator of the estate of John Hybart. Since she was the head of her own household in the 1810 census, it appears
that she was the widow of John Hybart. She was also appointed Guardian of the following minor children: Sophia
Williams Hybart, Jane Hybart, John Hybart, Thomas Hybart, and Eliza Hybart. The names appear to be in order of
birth as was customary. The facsimile shown of her
signature taken from the Guardian's bond appears to
be that of an educated person and her diplomas
indicate a degree of education unusual for a woman in
those days.
Mary Hybart was listed as head of a household
in both the 1810 and 1820 censuses for Cumberland County, North Carolina. On 3 November 1820 a newspaper, "The
Raleigh Register", carried a notice of the death of Mrs. Mary Hybart. She had died on 24 October 1820 in the 57th
year of her age. She was born in Wales, but had been an inhabitant of Fayetteville [North Carolina] for a number of
years.
The family must have achieved some prominence in times past in Fayetteville. St. Thomas' Episcopal Church is
located on Hybart Hill and a stream known as Hybart's Creek flows from the Seventy-first Township into the southern
part of Fayetteville where it changes name first to Branson's Creek and then to Blount's Creek before joining Cross
Creek.
It seems likely that the Hybart family moved from Canada first to South Carolina about 1805 and then to
Fayetteville, North Carolina, in 1807.
A brief history of the Hybart family was published recently in addition to some history published over 50 years
ago.37
Children: 1. Henry Hugh Hybart; 2. Sophia Williams Hybart; 3.Basil Hybart; 4. Jane Hybart; 5. John Hugh
Hybart; 6. Thomas Lewis Hybart; 7. Eliza Hybart 11 HENRY HUGH HYBART born about 1790, died 6 February 1846 Monroe County, Alabama, married 2 September 1821
at Claiborne, Monroe County, Alabama, to Charity Bethea, born about 1792, Marion District, South Carolina, died
3 September 1859, daughter of Jesse and Celia {Harrelson} Bethea. Both buried in the Hybart Family Cemetery near
Bell's Landing, Monroe County, Alabama. It has been reported that they were first buried in the Bell Family Cemetery
approximately one-half mile to the west of their final resting place and their graves were moved by their son about
1870.
Some of Henry Hugh Hybart's grandchildren have indicated that he was born in France, graduated from Oxford
University with high honors, and practiced medicine. However, in the 1880 census, his daughter, Mary Finklea, living
in Panola County, Texas, indicated that he had been born in Canada. His other children living in 1880 in Monroe
County, Alabama, (William Lewis Hybart, Mariah A. McCall, and Annie E. Hybart) indicated that he was born in
Canada W. This is believed to mean Canada West, the popular name for Ontario after the Act of Union in 1840. If
Henry had been born as early as 1790 as indicated by the census records, he may have been born before his parents
went to Canada since his father was in Westminster in March 1791. Records of Oxford University do not list any
student with the name Hybart or similar sounding name for the time period of interest. The law first licensing
physicians in Alabama was enacted in December 1823. This law set up five medical boards to examine and license
physicians. Lists of physicians licensed by the boards at Cahaba, Claiborne (Monroe County), and Huntsville were
published in the spring of 1825. The name of Henry Hugh Hybart does not appear on these lists. Records of the other
two boards located at Mobile and Tuscaloosa have not been found; but it is doubtful if a physician practicing in Monroe
or Wilcox Counties would have registered with the boards in Tuscaloosa or Mobile.
Census records for 1830 and 1840 suggest that H. H. Hybart was born about 1790. He was listed on the 1813
personal tax roll for Baldwin County, Mississippi Territory, taxed for one poll, indicating that he was born no later
than 1792. There was no tax paid on land or slaves. Baldwin County at that time consisted of what is now the northern
third of Mobile County and the southern half of Washington County in Alabama. Tax records for earlier years are
fragmentary and do not list him.
Henry H. Hybart served as a private in the War of 1812 in Carson's Regiment of the Mississippi Militia (Captain
Charles H. Devereux's Co. of Volunteer Mounted Gunners) from 23 September 1814 to 10 November 1814. He was
present on 6 October 1814 at a muster at Ft. Montgomery (on the Alabama River a few miles above its junction with
the Tombigbee River). On 9 November 1814 he was present at a muster in Mobile of the same company under the
command of Ensign Theophilus Toulmin.
About 1816 H. H. Hybart purchased Lot #84 in the town of Jackson (also known as Pine Level), Clarke County,
Mississippi Territory. In the 1816 census for Clarke County there is a listing for a household headed jointly by Henry
and Clarke Hilbert with two white males over 21 years of age and one slave. In 1819 he served on a coroner's jury
in Clarke County.
On 19 June 1820, Dr. John Roberson, a graduate of the College of Edinburgh advertised the establishment of his
practice of medicine in Jackson, Alabama, noting that he had rented Mr. Hybart's house. On 30 June 1821 there were
letters remaining in the post office at Jackson, Clark County, Alabama, for Henry Hugh Hybart and John H. Hybart.
There was also a letter remaining for H. H. Hybart at the Jackson post office on 30 September 1821.
On 1 October 1821 in Clarke County, Alabama, H. H. Hybart proved the will of Archebald McAlphen (who had
purchased Lot #83 in Jackson in 1816). On 22 June 1822 he gave a deed of trust for three lots (Nos. 67, 84, and 126)
with improvements in the town of Jackson, Alabama, to James Moreland (believed to be the same James Moreland who
had been a partner earlier with John Hybart). Although the lots had improvements, they were heavily mortgaged so
that the settlement price was $1.00 with James Moreland assuming their mortgages.
Henry H. Hybart purchased land from the U. S. Land Office at Cahaba at the prevailing price of $1.25 per acre
in Township 10, Range 7, Section 10 just north of Belleville in Wilcox County, about 4 miles north of his home in
Monroe County. He purchased 40 acres on 15 November 1832 and 80 acres on 13 June 1836. Land in the area
continued to be sold at $1.25 per acre as late as 1857 when William L. Hybart made a purchase in Section 28 of the
same township.
One descendant indicated that Henry H. Hybart lived and died in Wilcox County.12 However, he was listed in
Monroe County in both the 1830 Census and the 1840 Census and his estate was probated in Monroe County. His
widow, Charity Hybart, was appointed administratrix, and his son Louis William was appointed administrator,
indicating that he died intestate. They posted a performance bond of $16,000 with T. B. Bethea, brother of Charity,
as surety. An inventory of the estate has not been located. However, the 1850 Census listed Charity with real estate
valued at $19,100, which included farmland (120 acres improved and 240 acres unimproved) valued at $1500.
While the Hybarts were apparently not owners of large numbers of slaves, they did own them. The 1830 and 1840
Censuses both list Henry H. Hybart in Monroe County, Alabama where he was listed with 2 slaves each time. In 1850
his widow is shown with 4 slaves and his son with one slave.
The following obituary is believed to have appeared in the New Orleans "Christian Advocate" (a Methodist
publication) on 2 November 1859:
Mrs. Charity Bethea Hybart was born in Marion District, S. C., about the year 1792 and
died at her residence in Monroe Co., Ala., Sep. 3rd 1859. She joined the M. E. Church,
South, in the year 1851 ... In her death her children have lost an affectionate mother; the
community, a good citizen; the needy, a ready friend; the sick, a kind visitor; the Church
a worthy and pious member.
What church, if any, she belonged to prior to joining the Methodist Church is not known. Celia Bethea, her mother,
had joined the Franklin Street Methodist Church in Mobile by letter of transfer on 17 April 1853. Her brother,
Tristram B. Bethea, was an elder in the Montgomery, Alabama, Presbyterian Church some years later. A diary kept
by William Kennedy Norton, a Methodist preacher, spoke of visiting her and her mother in 1852 and 1854 at Bell's
Landing. William K. Norton was the son of John Wesley Norton, a first cousin of Charity Bethea Hybart. John W.
Norton had been a member of the South Carolina Conference of the Methodist Church before locating and moving to
Barbour County, Alabama, about 1828. His mother was Patience {Harrelson} Norton, wife of William Norton, and
sister of Celia {Harrelson} Bethea (mother of Charity Bethea Hybart). John Wesley Norton was also the great great
grandfather of Mary Ellen Lee who married William C. Stapleton, Jr. (111 771). It was the discovery of this
relationship after some fifteen years of marriage which led the compiler to undertake this work.
Children: 1. William Lewis Hybart; 2. Mary Martha Hybart; 3. Ann Eliza Hybart; 4. Mariah Antoinette
Hybart; 5. Sarah Jane Hybart
12 SOPHIA WILLIAMS HYBART born 1789-1794 died 15 August 1822 Fayetteville, North Carolina, married (marriage

(Anglican). At the time his parents were living in Charlottenburgh Township, Glengarry County, Ontario.
14 JANE HYBART born 1795 Canada died after 1850 married (marriage bond dated 6 April 1814 Cumberland County,
North Carolina) to Calvin Weeks born 1787 Massachusetts died 12 October 1816 Fayetteville, North Carolina. He had
lived in Fayetteville the last eight years of his life.
Children: 1. Sophie H. Weeks; 2. Mary Weeks
15 JOHN HUGH HYBART born about 1800 at sea died 13 May 1884 buried at Richland Baptist Church Cemetery about
five miles east of Brundidge in Pike County, Alabama, married 1st 11 April 1841 Pike County, Alabama, by W. B.
Peterson. J. P., to Mary Warrick born 29 March 1816 North Carolina died 16 February 1873 buried next to her
husband daughter of Dempsey and Sarah {DeKalb} Warrick, married 2nd 28 March 1878 Pike County, Alabama, to
Susan Leddon born 1840 in Alabama died prior to 3 Febnruary 1908.
Census records in Pike County, Alabama, in 1850, 1860, 1870, and 1880 indicate successively the year of his
birth as 1804, 1806, 1807, and 1810 and the place of his birth as Canada, E. Canada, and Atlantic O. Canada. One
of his descendants indicated that he was born about 1802. His tombstone shows the date of his birth as 3 March 1810.
Descendants have indicated that he was born at sea, North Carolina, Canada, and England.
A newspaper notice dated 1 June 1821 announced the dissolution of the co-partnership between John Hybart and
James Moreland (believed to be the same James Moreland who received a deed of trust to three lots in the town of
Jackson, Alabama, from Henry H. Hybart on 22 June 1822) known as the firm of Moreland and Hybart which had
existed at Jackson, Alabama. The business of the firm is not known. No other advertisements of the firm have been
found. Subsequently, there were letters remaining in the post office at Jackson on 30 June 1821 for both Henry Hugh
Hybart and John H. Hybart46 and on 31 March 1822 for John H. Hybart. To have legally entered into a partnership,
John H. Hybart would have had to have been 21 years old, placing his birth no later than 1800.
Advertisements of unclaimed letters for John H. Hybart appeared in Mobile, Alabama, on 1 January 1824 and
on 31 March 1824 (3 letters) and in Claiborne, Monroe County, Alabama, on 1 March 1824 and on 1 October
1829. He was probably living in the household of his brother, Henry H. Hybart, in Monroe County when the 1830
census was taken. He is listed as head of a household living alone in the 1833 State census taken in Barbour County,
Alabama. He purchased land about three miles east of Clayton in Barbour County from the U.S. Land Office, 80 acres
on 29 December 1837 and an adjoining 80 acres on 5 March 1838. He is listed in the 1840 census of Pike County,
Alabama, living alone and operating a school with 13 scholars. Some of his descendants have indicated that he was
trained as a lawyer, but did not practice. He presented the claims of some widows of Confederate soldiers in 1865.
He was appointed Notary Public on 10 July 1856 in Pike County and is said to have been a Justice of the Peace and
was known as Squire Hybart.
In 1895, Susan L. Hybart filed a claim (No. 6065) for a widow's pension for John H. Hybart's service during
the Creek Indian War. The claim indicated that he served as a private in Captain Turner's Company, in Captain
William Beachamp's Company of the 1st Alabama Regiment, and Captain's Bush's Company, enlisting about March
15, 1836. Information found in the files of the War Department showed that he had served from 15 May 1836 through
31 May 1836, a period of 20 days. This was less than the 30 days service required for her to be eligible for a pension.
The claim stated that John H. Hybart was about 5 feet and 5 inches in height, with grey eyes, light brown hair, light
& fair complexion, by occupation a Bookkeeper & clerk, and that he was born in Canada. He had also received Bounty
Land Warrant No. 14188 for 160 acres under the Act of 1855. The claim stated incorrectly that John H. Hybart had
not been married prior to marrying Susan Leddon in 1878.
The will of John Hugh Hybart, signed 4 May 1884 and probated 30 June 1884, Pike County, Alabama, left the
use of his property consisting of the NE¼ of the NE¼ of Section 12 Township 9 Range 21 and the NW¼ of the NW¼
and the W½ of the NE¼ of the SW¼ of Section 7 Range 22 (total of about 100 acres) for the use of his wife Susan,
during her lifetime and to be sold with the proceeds divided among his children living after the death of Susan. Final
settlement of the estate was recorded on 3 February 1908 with each of the 6 heirs receiving $7.50 after legal and other
fees had been paid.

16 THOMAS LEWIS HYBART born about 1803 in Canada died 1 January 1847 buried Cross Creek Cemetery, Fayetteville
(spelling of name taken from tombstone), married (marriage bond 16 February 1843 Cumberland County, North
Carolina) to Eliza Moffitt born 1823 died after 1880.
Thomas L. Hybart was a lawyer, newspaper publisher, and representative from Fayetteville in 1835 to the North
Carolina House of Commons who was said to have "a ready tongue and a trenchant pen". He was a strong supporter
of General Andrew Jackson. He was one of the managers of a subscription ball in 1829, indicating that he was active
in the social life of the area. When a fire destroyed a great part of Fayetteville in 1831, the house of T. L. Hybart,
Esq., located at the intersection of Union and Mason streets, was saved only by great effort.

while on sick furlough from 3 August 1863 to 14 September 1863. In Monroe County on 18 August 1865 he signed
the Oath of Allegiance to the United States. On the back on this document appears the notation that he had served in

25 February 1864 Pike County to J. H. McLenden. Her age indicates that she may have been the child of an earlier
marriage of her father when he lived in Barbour County, Alabama. Most records of marriages in Barbour County prior
to 1840 have been lost or destroyed and there is none among the remaining records for John H. Hybart (15). Further
records of Jane have not been found. There does not appear to be a tombstone for either her or her husband in Pike

John McLendon, Jr. age 3 born in Alabama not far from John H. Hybart, her father.

During the Civil War William M. Hybart enlisted on 16 June 1862 at Fayeteville and was mustered into service
on 19 June 1862 as a private in the 63rd North Carolina Regiment (5th Cavalry, Company A) which was known as the
Gordon-Barringer Brigade. His cousin, Thomas H. McLean (141 3), joined at the same time. He was described as
being 17 years old, 5 feet, 7¼ inches in height, by occupation a farmer, and he brought with him a horse valued at
$150, horse equipment valued at $50, and arms valued at $75. They joined General Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern
Virginia in May 1863. On 3 June this army of about 75,000 men began moving northward toward Pennsylvania where
they would be stopped at Gettysburg in early July. On 9 June some 10,000 cavalry under Confederate General Jeb
Stuart which were shielding Lee's army met a similar number of Union cavalry under Maj. Gen. Alfred Pleasonton
near Brandy Station (6 miles northeast of Culpeper Court House), Virginia. In what has been described as the last great
cavalry battle of classic style, the fighting with sabers and revolvers went on for hours with Stuart's men finally
repelling the Union cavalry. On that day at Beverly Ford, 3 miles northeast of Brandy Station, William M. Hybart was
captured. On 25 June he was paroled at the Old Capitol Prison in Washington, D. C. On 7 July he had returned to his
company and was issued new clothing to replace his uniform lost while a prisoner. He was listed on various company
records thriugh December 186470 No records have been found of Barringer's Brigade for the year 1865, but it was
known to have been present at Appomattox although most of its men being on horseback escaped capture and went
home; thus, their names are not included among those paroled.
A few months after his marriage, William M. Hybart's relatives had him committed to the Asylum for the Insane
at Raleigh where he died. Considerable litigation took place between his wife and his blood relatives with at least three
cases reaching the North Carolina Supreme Court. Mentioned in the court records were his first cousin, Mary C.
Weeks, her niece, Mrs. James N. Smith of Fayetteville, and Eliza A. Jones. By 1902, all of his blood relatives in North
Carolina were either dead or had left the state.
