First Generation

1. REVEREND JOHN DAVID SIBERT (say 1755 – 1820/30)

In 1762 some twenty thousand acres on Hard Labor Creek in present-day Greenwood and McCormick Counties in South Carolina were laid out as a buffer between the Cherokee Indians and low-country plantations. Land was granted to 56 people, and by autumn 1765 there were about 250 settlers, mostly German Palatine immigrants. The colonial government ordered a log house built for the colonists, and it appears that as early as 1769 the congregation of the St. George Lutheran Church was organized there. It petitioned the Commissioners of Trade and Plantations for a Lutheran minister. It is not known what the result of this request was; perhaps it was not immediately granted, and the congregation was forced to rely on clergymen from other denominations.

Luther J. Beeson claims that the Reverend John David Sibert came to America not long before the Revolutionary War. He married a Miss Wilmore of Virginia and bought a farm on Hard Labor Creek in Abbeville District, now in McCormick County, and at some point, he became the minister of St. George’s Lutheran church. After the Revolutionary War, the church opened as a Lutheran church with John David as its pastor. [1]

According to John David’s son David, John David was a soldier in the Revolutionary War. Probably he was a soldier in the local militia; his son David recounts how on one occasion he was forced to hide from the British in a hollow log until he was almost famished. [2]

It is not known how long after the war John David remained with St. George Lutheran Church, but he left before 4 January 1788, when the church was incorporated with a different pastor. Apparently, John David and some of the congregation had converted to Methodism, and moved down the road to form the Tranquil Methodist Church in Troy which was built about one mile northwest of the St. George’s Church on the Troy-Edgefield road. According to Beeson, [3]

John Cook of Jasper Co., Miss. stated that when he was a small boy he heard the Reverend Sibert preach in this church and that his German accent was so strong that he could hardly understand him. Harmon Gable who lived to be over one hundred years old, told his son who is now living in this locality that he often heard the Reverend Sibert preach, clad in long hose and knee breeches with silver buckles at the knees.

Hard Labor CreekHard Labor Creek

It might seem implausible that John David was first a Lutheran minister and then a Methodist minister, but we have corroboration from G. D. Bernheim. [4]

St. George's Lutheran Church on Hard Labor Creek was also visited by Rev. R. J. Miller in his missionary tour in 1811, and the following is his report concerning this church: "Sunday, November 10th. I preached in a German meeting-house on Hard Labor Creek, where my appointments were to commence; here was a formerly Lutheran congregation, but no remains of it are found; here the Methodists and Baptists have pulled each other out of the pulpit. Every person seemed attentive; here is the full proof of the necessity of missionary preaching. The former Lutheran minister became a Methodist."

Little else is know about John David. It seems likely that he received his theological training in Germany, and was sent to America to be a minister to the German colonists. He may have arrived in America before the Revolutionary War, as Beeson asserts. Fighting continued in the South Carolina backcountry through 1781, and he had surely arrived by then as his son said he was a soldier.

Beeson claims that John had nine children: John H., who died in Lincoln County, Georgia on 19 March 1860, leaving his large estate to the children of his brother Frederick and his sister Susan Crooks; David, born in October 1793; George, born in 1798; Frederick; Rosa, who married a man named Galloway and moved to Alabama; Rachel, who married a man named Lee and died at an advanced age in Alabama; Leah, the twin of Rachel, who died young; and Susan who married a man named Crooks. [5] Beeson, however, is confused. John David Sibert of Abbeville had two sons. One was David, who referred to John David as his father. The other was George, with whom John David and his wife are said to have lived after David moved to Alabama. John David is probably the father of Rosa, Rachel and Leah, who are not named in John H.'s will.

Abbeville County was created within the Ninety-Six District in 1785. In 1800 Abbeville County was renamed Abbeville District and in 1868 it again became Abbeville County. In 1897 it lost parts to the newly formed Greenwood County. It lost more parts to Greenwood in 1898 and to the newly formed McCormick County in 1916. Probate records exist back to 1772 but most other records were lost in fires in 1872 and 1873. The old map at the top is from 1886; the modern Google map depicts Hard Labor Creek and its surroundings.

John David appears as John Sybert, aged over 45, in the 1820 census. He was living in Abbeville in a household with four other people: a male aged 16 to 25 and three females, one over 45, one aged 16 to 25 and one aged ten to 15. These may have been his wife and George and two daughters, perhaps Rosa and Rachel. Listed immediately after John in the census is David Sybert, no doubt his son David. David is described as between 16 and 18. This is probably an error as David was 26 at the time. He was living with two free white females 16 to 25. As David was not yet married, it is unclear who the young women were. Perhaps they were housekeepers or relatives. [6]

John David's birth date is unknown. If he was born in, say, 1755, then he would have been 26 at the end of the war, 38 when David was born and 43 when George was born. A much later birth date seems inconsistent with being a minister at the end of the war and possibly having arrived in Hard Labor Creek some years before the end of the war. A much earlier birth date is possible but would make him an unusually old father. Beeson says that John David and his wife were alive and living with their son George when David Sibert married on 29 November 1820 and then left for Alabama. [7] They were probably dead by 1830 when they do not show up living with George in the 1830 census.

To summarize, John David Sibert was born say 1755. He probably died between 1820 and 1830, probably in Abbeville County. He is said to have married a Miss Wilmore. She probably died between 1820 and 1830, probably in Abbeville County.

Children of John David Sibert and Unknown Wilmore (order uncertain):

+ 2. David Sibert was born in October 1793, probably in the Ninety-Six District. He died on 11 July 1873 near Keener Alabama. He married Elizabeth Cook.
+ 3. George Sibert was born in 1798, probably in the Ninety-Six District. He died on 15 July 1865 in Abbeville County. He married Adeline Lasseter.

  4. Rosa Sibert (probably) married Unknown Galloway. She moved to Alabama.
  5. Rachel Sibert (twin) (probably) lived to an advanced age and died in Alabama. She married Unknown Lee.
  6. Leah Sibert (twin) (probably) died young.

John Sybert of Lincoln County Georgia

It is useful to consider the source of Beeson's confusion with respect to John David's children. At the time that John David was living in Abbeville, there was another John Sybert, living across the Savannah River in Lincoln County, Georgia. This John was probably the John Sebert who was a Revolutionary Soldier from Georgia. [1] He had 200 acres in Captain Sybert’s district in Lincoln, Georgia, and was taxed there between 1799 and 1806. He owned 450 acres in Captain Glay’s district in Lincoln and was taxed there in 1818. [2] He appears in the 1820 census in Lincoln. [3] He was probably the father of the John Sibert who married Peggy Wellmaker on 21 February 1828 in Wilkes County, Georgia. [4] This younger John is undoubtedly the John H. Sybert who was living in Lincoln in 1830 and 1840. In 1850 John H. Sybert, born about 1798 in Georgia, was living in Lincoln with his wife Margaret, born about 1808 in Georgia. [5] In 1855, John had 425 acres and 13 slaves in Lincoln and was referred to as the executor of the estate of Thomas N. Jones, deceased, the agent for Henry J. Crook and Job Wellmaker and the administrator of the estate of William Nichols. [6] He wrote his will on 18 March 1860 and it was probated on 2 April 1860. He left his estate to his wife Margaret and the children of his brother Frederick Sybert and his sister Susan Crook. He called two of Susan’s children Lucinda Jones and Mary Ann Nichols. He named Eli Wellmaker and Henry Crooks his executors; Henry Crooks was appointed administrator. [7] Frederick E. Sybert, born about 1802 in Georgia, was a farmer who died of pneumonia in Morgan County, Alabama in 1850. [8] He married Rebecca Wade on 22 January 1821 in Warren County, Georgia. [9] He died intestate, but his estate papers name various children. [10] This family can be summarized as:

JOHN SYBERT of Lincoln County, Georgia died after 1820.

Children of John Sybert (order uncertain):

i. John H. Sybert was born about 1798 in Georgia. He died between 18 March and 2 April 1860. He married Margaret (Peggy) Wellmaker on 21 February 1828 in Wilkes County, Georgia. She was born about 1808 in Georgia.

One of John and Peggy's slaves gave an interesting account of her life with the Sybert's in Slave Narratives: A Folk History of Slavery in the United States from Interviews with Former Slaves (Washinton, D.C.:Library of Congress, 1941). Available online: search for Arrie Binns.

ii. Susan Sybert married Unknown — perhaps Henry J. — Crooks. She died before 18 March 1860.

iii. Frederick E. Sybert was born about 1802 in Georgia. He died in 1850 in Morgan County, Alabama. He married Rebecca Wade on 22 January 1821 in Warren County, Georgia.

An earlier southern census entry is also relevant. The 1790 federal census has a John Sybert living in Orangeburg, South Carolina in a household consisting of one free white male 16 and over, two free white males under 16 and two free white females. [11] It is unlikely that this is John David, but it might be John Sybert of Georgia, or it could be some other John Sybert, related or unrelated.

Second Generation

2. DAVID SIBERT (John David1) (1793 – 1873)

David Sibert was probably born in October 1793 in Ninety-Six District, Alabama. He died on 11 July 1873, age 79 years and nine months, and is buried in the Duck Springs Cemetery in Duck Springs, Etowah County, Alabama. He married Elizabeth Cook on 29 November 1820 in Abbeville District. [1] Elizabeth is said to be the daughter of Henry Phillip and Margaret Susanna (Lightfoot) Cook. She died on 8 August 1863 and is buried in the Duck Springs Cemetery. [2] The inscription on her gravestone says she was 80 years old when she died. This is undoubtedly an error, as it would make her in her mid-fifties when her last child was born, and it is inconsistent with census entries that have her born in 1788 or, more plausibly, 1792. Elizabeth's father may have been Henry Cook of Abbeville. Inventory was taken on the estate of Henry Cook of Abbeville on 13 October 1801, and it amounted to 5,559 dollars. The estate was probated in 1807. His administratrix was Susanna Cook, presumably his widow. In 1800 Susannah Cook, aged between 26 and 45, was living in Abbeville with a boy under ten, two boys 10 to 15 and two girls under ten. [3]

Beeson says [4]

David Sibert in the year 1819 went to St. Clair Co. Alabama took up land in the neighborhood of the present site of Asheville and built a house. He returned to Abbeville District, South Carolina, and married Elizabeth Cook, oldest child of Henry Phillip Cook and his wife Margaret Susanna (Lightfoot) Cook on 29 Nov. 1820. He began his long journey to his farm in St. Clair Co. Alabama, with his wagons, household goods, cattle, and the necessary tools for pioneer life. He took with him his mother-in-law, Margaret Susanna (Lightfoot) Cook Clark, then the widow of her 2nd husband, Henry Clark, and their charming young daughter Martha Clark. They stopped in Georgia in 1821 and made a crop, arriving in St. Clair Co., Alabama early in the year 1822. At their first meeting Curtis G. Beeson fell in love with Martha Clark, and they were married on July 29, 1822 at the home of David Sibert. David Sibert and his brother-in-law, Curtis G. Beeson, lived near neighbors in St. Clair County. The widow Clark lived with the Siberts until they moved to Big Wills Valley, DeKalb co. about 1836. Then she lived with Curtis G. Beeson and family until her death April 11, 1847 at age 83. David Sibert purchased from the Cherokee Indians a village with about 80 acres of cleared land around it, located in Big Wills Valley about two miles west of Keener, Ala. The pride of the village was a large log house covered with thatch. The trees for this house had been hacked down by the Indians with stone axes and the bark peeled off. David Sibert and his family moved into this house and began a pioneer life again. He and his two oldest sons, John W. and Henry built the first mill in Big Wills Valley on Will's Creek. The mill stones for grinding wheat and the bolting cloth were purchased in France and shipped to Mobile and up the river to Wetumpka and were hauled about a hundred and fifty miles to the mill site. The mill stones for grinding corn were made from the millstone grit rock found in Lookout Mountain nearby. The building was a two-story structure made of hewn timbers and sided first with split laths. The mill had turbine wheels which were made by John W. and Henry Sibert. In order to supply the inhabitants of Wills Valley with flour and corn meal the mill had to be operated day and night and frequently on Sundays. Flour was turned out by this mill until 1918 when it was abandoned by the owner.

David Sibert was an enterprising citizen, a good farmer, and he owned several slaves. He was a local Methodist preacher. He died in his home 16 July 1873, and is buried beside his wife, Elizabeth Cook, in Duck Springs Cemetery in Big Wills Valley about 12 miles north of Gadsden, Alabama.

David was appointed Justice of the Peace in St. Clair County on 18 March 1829 and again on 14 May 1832. In 1830 he was described as being between 30 and 39 years old and living in St. Clair County. His household consisted of three free white males and two free white females under five years of age, two free white males between five and nine and a free white female between 30 and 39. These were probably his wife Elizabeth and his children John, Henry, Martha, George, Jasper, Hiram and Mahuldah. He also owned one slave. [5]

In 1840 David Sibert lived in DeKalb County, Alabama. His household consisted of one free white female under five, two free white males and one free white female between five and nine, one free white male and two free white females between ten and 14, two free white males between 15 and 19 and one free white male and one free white female between 40 and 49. These were probably his wife Elizabeth and his children John, Henry, Martha, George, Jasper, Mahulda, Julia, William and Mary Ann. On 1 May 1845 four certificates were deposited in the land office at Lebanon showing that David had purchased four plots of land, one of about 160 acres, one of 80 acres and two of 40 acres in what was later Etowah County. On 2 September 1850 he bought a fifth parcel of 40 acres. [6]

 

In 1850 David was a farmer living in DeKalb County with Elizabeth and Julia A, age 18., William, age 16, and Mary A, age 11. He owned real estate worth 3,000 dollars. According to the Alabama state census, in 1850 D. Sibert was living in DeKalb County in a household consisting of one free white male over 45, one free white male 18 to 21, one free white female over 21, two free white females under 21 and eight slaves. In 1860 David was living in Duck Spring, DeKalb County with Elizabeth and Julian, age 27. He had a personal estate of 3,500 dollars and real estate worth 18,969 dollars. He was a farmer, and in 1860 he owned 480 acres of land, four horses, one mule, three milk cows, four oxen, 17 other cattle, 25 sheep and 100 pigs. He grew wheat, corn, oats and cotton. He owned 15 slaves. [7]

David Sibert registered to vote in Baine County [a temporary name for Etowah] in 1867. In 1870 David was living with his daughter Mary H. Beeson and her family in Attalla, Etowah County. He had a personal estate of 4,000 dollars. He owned a farm with 480 acres; he had a horse and grew corn and oats. [8]

David is described as a leading man in the Methodist Church in Wills Valley in the early years of its existence. [9]

3. GEORGE SIBERT (John David1) (1798 – 1865)

George Sibert was probably born in 1798 in Abbeville District, South Carolina. He died there on 15 July 1865. He married Adaline Lasseter in 1823. Adaline was the daughter of Isaac and Faithy Lasseter. She was born in 1808 and died in May 1889. [1]

In his will, probated on 25 June 1834 in Edgefield County, South Carolina, Isaac Lasseter left his substantial property to his wife Faithy and his children, except for Adaline. He said [2]

I give to my son in law George Seybert husband of my daughter Edaline the [sic] of five dollars to be [smudged] my executors paid to him or his heirs if demanded he having been by me heretofore apportioned.

Beeson says [3]

[George] married Adeline Lasseter when she was fifteen years of age against the wishes of her parents who gave her no property. She was from a prominent wealthy family … He began life a poor man cultivating his father’s farm but by industry and good management he amassed a fortune and became one of the wealthiest and most influential men in that part of the state.

In 1830 George Sybert lived in Abbeville. His household consisted of one (free white) male and one female between 30 and 39, one male and two females under five and two females between 20 and 29. He owned nine slaves. In 1840 G. Sybert lived in Abbeville. His household consisted of two (free white) males under five, one male and three females between five and nine, one female between 30 and 39 and one male between 40 and 49. He owned 14 slaves. [4]

In 1850 George and Adaline Sibert lived in the Savannah River Regiment in Abbeville. They were living with Isaac, Elizabeth, age 16, John, age 14, George, age ten, Louisa, age nine, Sarah, age seven, Martha, age five, Isabella, age three, Wesley, age two, and Mary, age 18. George owned 19 slaves. He owned 697 acres with a value of 3,000 dollars. He had eight horses, one mule, eight milch cows, 16 other cattle, seven sheep and 100 pigs; he grew wheat, corn and oats. [5]

In 1860 George and Adaline ("Ann") lived in Indian Hill, Abbeville with Elizabeth, Jas. H., Geo. M., Louisa, Sarah, Martha, Isabella, Wesley and Victoria. George was a farmer with a personal estate of 8,960 dollars and real estate worth 68,205[?] dollars. He owned 42 slaves. [6]

In 1880 Adaline was living with her daughters Elizabeth and Vickie in Indian Hill. [7]

Third Generation

7. JOHN WESLEY SIBERT (David2, John David1) (1822 – 1868)

John Wesley Sibert was born on 1 February 1822, probably in St. Clair County, Alabama, and he died on 10 May 1868. [1]  He married Nancy Unknown. She was probably born about 1826 in Tennessee.

An excerpt from a letter from Hamilton P. Sibert, written 6 November 1959, says

I found the old David Sibert bible. IT IS NOT FOR SALE OR TRANSFER. It is not written in German. It is an American bible printed in 1825. It has written in large ink letters in the front and in the back, "DAVID SIBERT. HIS BIBLE." There is listed therein the birth dates and dates of death of all of the children that died before David did. Someone entered his date of death. Also date of his wife. Also that David was 79 Yrs 9 mos. old. … The name on this bible is spelled "SIBERT". ... I have been asking you about John Wilmore Sibert, first child of David, born 2-1-1822. [Beeson] says died in Ark 5-10-1868 leaving a small family. This death date is in the above bible, but does not show where he died. Wonder how Beeson got the Ark reference? The David Sibert bible lists the first born on that date, 2-1-1822, as John Wesley Sibert in the first birth date column. In the 2nd column on the same page he is listed as John W and on the death column page he is listed as John W. Wonder how Beeson got the Wilmore? All of the other names tally in succession as now shown in the book. Your "Grannys" name is spelled in two places as "Martha Jain".

In 1850 John and Nancy were living in Division 25, DeKalb County, Alabama with Elizabeth M. and Malissa J. John was a farmer with real estate worth 2,000 dollars. On 1 December 1852 a certificate was deposited in the land office at Lebanon showing that John W. had purchased a 40-acre plot of land in what was later Etowah County. On 15 July 1854 he bought a second parcel of 40 acres. In 1860 John and Nancy were living in Lebanon, Division 2, DeKalb County with Elizabeth M., Malissa J. and William J. John was a farmer with a personal estate of 4,200 dollars and real estate worth 6,000 dollars. In 1860 he owned 280 acres of land; he had two horses, one mule, three milk cows, four working oxen, eight other cattle, three sheep and 30 pigs; he grew wheat, corn, tobacco and cotton. He owned two slaves. [2]

John was commissioned Justice of the Peace of DeKalb County on 10 June 1856. [3]

John was a Confederate soldier. [4]   He was a private in the Ninth Regiment, Alabama Cavalry (Malone's). [5] He was a private in Company E of the 12th Regiment of the Alabama Infantry. He enlisted on 20 July 1861 for a period of 12 months, but was discharged on 7 October 1861 for disability due to rheumatism. He described himself as 5'10" with a dark complexion, blue eyes and black hair. [6]

John owned Sibert’s Mill, the first mill in DeKalb County, Alabama. [7]

  29.

Elizabeth M. Sibert was born about 1847 in Alabama.

  30. Malissa J. Sibert was born about 1848 in Alabama.

8. HENRY SIBERT (David2, John David1) (1823 – 1892)

Henry Sibert was born on 4 April 1823, probably in St. Clair County, Alabama. He died on 27 November 1892 and is buried in the Plunkett Cemetery in Collinsville in DeKalb County. [1] He married Dorcas Edwards. She was born on 17 February 1821 and died on 1 March 1901 in Collinsville. She is buried in the Plunkett Cemetery. Dorcas is said to be the daughter of Jesse and Elizabeth (Carleton) Edwards. [2]

On 13 April 1897 the heirs of the estate of Henry Sibert were F.I. Beavers; J.A. Chaney, wife of J.M. Chaney of Collinsville; D.J. Sibert of Thirty Nine in DeKalb County; J.D. "Jeff" Sibert of Tuckerman, Arkansas; James and Cassie, the children of Robert E. Sibert; Dave and Burmah, the children of David Sibert; and Dorcas, his widow. [3]

In 1850 Henry and Dorcas were living in Division 25 in DeKalb County with Fadeva I,. age three, and new-born Nell. Henry was a farmer with real estate worth 400 dollars. In 1860 Henry and Dorcas were living in Lebanon, Division 2 in DeKalb County with Fadeva, age 13, Robert, age 12, Dolphus, age ten, David, age six, and Julia, age two. He had a personal estate of 2,000 dollars and real estate worth 1,000 dollars. Henry was a farmer, and he had 204 acres of land. He owned four horses, three cows, four oxen, three other cattle, 16 sheep and 54 pigs. The value of his livestock was 800 dollars. He grew wheat, corn, oats and tobacco. [4]

Henry enlisted as a private in Company G of the 31st Alabama Infantry Regiment. This regiment was organized on 16 March 1862 and on 6 to 7 April 1862 it was part of Brigadier General J. C. Breckinridge's First Brigade (under Colonel R. P. Trabue) at Shiloh. Henry was captured on 7 April and was held as a prisoner of war at Camp Douglas, Illinois. He was sent to the prison hospital. He suffered from erysipelas from 14 June to 20 July and from debilitas from 20 to 27 July. [5] Camp Douglas was noted for its terrible conditions and high death rate. Almost all of the prisoners were gone by September; most because they had taken an oath of allegiance to the United States, had been exchanged or died. Henry later enlisted as a private from DeKalb in Company K of the Third Confederate Cavalry. It appears that Henry was part of the group of Confederates who raided a Union wagon train on 28 December 1863 in Charlestown, Tennessee as Henry was captured there on that date. He was sent to Louisville, Kentucky on 14 January 1864 and to Rock Island, Illinois three days later. He was released on 19 June 1865, and his name appears on a list of those who signed an oath of allegiance. He was described as 45 years old, six feet tall, having a "fresh" complexion, dark brown hair and gray eyes. [6]

In 1866 Henry lived in Township 9 in DeKalb County. His household consisted of one male over 20, three males aged ten to 20, one male under ten, one female over 20, one female aged ten to 20 and one female under ten. In 1870 Henry lived in Collinsville with Dorcas, Robert, Rodolphus J, age 18, David E., age 16, Julia A., age 14. and Jeff D, age eight. He had real estate worth 2,000 dollars and a personal estate of 1,000 dollars. His farm included 200 acres of land and had a value of 200 dollars. He owned two horses, one mule, two cows, two oxen, eight other cattle, five sheep and 25 pigs. He grew wheat, corn, oats and tobacco. In 1880 Henry was a retired merchant in Beat 6 in DeKalb County. He is described as "maimed, crippled, bedridden or otherwise disabled." He was living with his son Robert, age 28. He had 160 acres worth 800 dollars. He had two horses, three cows, three other cattle, 36 pigs and 24 poultry. His livestock was worth 800 dollars. He made butter and grew corn, oats, wheat and sorghum. He had an apple and peach orchard. He and Dorcas had possibly divorced, and Dorcas was living with her daughter Julia and Julia's husband. [7]

William Joshua Sibert16. WILLIAM JOSHUA SIBERT (David2, John David1) (1833 – 1909)

William Joshua Sibert was born on 17 October 1833 in Gadsden, Etowah county, Alabama. He died of bronchitis associated with malaria on 29 July 1909 in Gadsden. He and his wife are buried together in the Forrest cemetery in Gadsden. He married Marietta Ward on 28 September 1856 in DeKalb county. [1]

William was appointed postmaster in Porterville, DeKalb, Alabama on 29 October 1857. [2]

In 1860, William Sibert was a 26-year-old farmer with real estate worth 3,000 dollars and a personal estate of 2,767 dollars. He lived in District 3 in DeKalb County with his wife Marietta, age 19, his daughter Charlsie, age one, and Elizabeth Ward, age 44 and born in South Carolina. He owned one slave. He had six horses, two milch cows, two working oxen, three other cattle, 16 sheep and 14 swine. He grew wheat, corn, oats, cotten, potatoes and sweet potatoes. He produced wool and butter. [3]

William enlisted in Company I of the Tenth Regiment of the Alabama Volunteers when it was organized on 4 June 1861 in Montgomery, and was elected second lieutenant. He was promoted to first lieutenant on 2 September 1861, but resigned because of ill health on 1 October 1861. [4] On 10 May 1862, William enlisted from Gadsden as a private in Captain Moragnes's Company of Alabama Volunteers. The company was subsequently known as Company G, 48th Alabama Infantry. He fought with the 48th Infantry in the Confederate victories at Cedar Mountain on 9 August 1862 and Second Manasses on 30 August 1862. He was wounded at Manasses and appears, as a sergeant in Company G, on a 24 September morning report of the Alabama Hospital in Richmond, suffering from vulnus sclopetarium: a gunshot wound. He was furloughed for 40 days. William was listed as absent on detached service after 24 June 1863; his injury made him unfit for duty in the infantry. In November 1864 he was a private serving as a wagonmaster with the 48th Infantry near Richmond. [5]

"[William] and a few of his companions did not surrender at Appomattox, but concluded that since they were mounted they would make a run for it across country to Alabama. The General [William L. Sibert] tells of the horse that his father rode back from the scene of the surrender. The tip of one ear had been shot off and one eye was out." [6]

After the Civil War, William farmed for two years, but the wound he suffered during the war caused him to give up farming. He came to Gadsden in 1867 and was in the hotel business until 1879. He then turned to the mercantile business. His first business was called Barrett and Sibert, his next was Sibert and Ward. He was also a partner in Sibert and Blair, wholesale and retail hardward dealers.

In 1870, William was 36 and keeping a hotel in Gadsden. He had a personal estate of 500 dollars. His household included Marietta ("Mary E."), age 28, and Charlsie, age 11, Luther, age 8, Sam H., age 5, Martin D., age 3, and Elizabeth Ward, age 55. In 1880, William was a 46-year-old hotel keeper in Gadsden. His household included Marietta (37), Luther (19), Samuel (16), Martin (13), Fannie (7) and Olin (1). In 1900, William was a 66-year old merchant in Gadsden. Marietta W. was 58. They lived with Frances (26) and Olin W. (21 and working as a salesman). Marietta had had 10 children and five were living.

William married second Juliette Paschall Roberts in 1917. Juliette was the daugher of Thomas Paschall and Juliet Emma (Christy) Roberts. She was born in 1881 in Chambersburg, Franklin county and was baptized there on 18 December 1881 at the Holy Trinity Episcopal Church. She died on 1 October 1818 of pneumonia, after contracting influenza, at her home in Washington, DC. [5]

 

William married third Evelyn Clyne Bairsfather on 8 June 1922 in Bowling Green. Evelyn, the daughter of John Hugh Macintosh and Elizabeth Sharks (Waddell) Bairnsfather, was born on 1 December 1881 in Edinburgh, Scotland. She died on 22 October 1958 and is buried in the Forrest Cemetery in Gadsden. Evelyn emigrated to the United states on 8 September 1905 and was naturalized on 4 October 1919 in Cincinnati. She was a nurse and servied with the American Expeditionary Forces from 14 July 1918 to 15 March 1919. [6]

 

William entered the University of Alabama in 1878. He entered the U.S. military academy from Gadsden and graduated in June 1884. He was commissioned a second lieutenant of the engineers on 15 June 1884. Following graduation he entered the Engineer School of Application at Willets Point. He was promoted to first lieutenant on 7 April 1888 He was assigned to oversee improvements in the lock and dam system on the Green and Barren Rivers near Bowling Green. Four years later he was assigned construct a new lock in the lock and dam system which enabled ships to travel between Lake Superior and the lower Great Lakes. Two years later he had an independent command in charge of the river and harbor district at Little Rock. He was appointed to captain on 31 March 1896. At the outbreak of the Spanish American War he was named chief engineer of the Eighth Army Corp; his primary responsibility was to oversee the rehabilitation of the Manilla & Dagupan Railroad. [7]

In 1900 William returned to the United States to take charge of rivers and harbors in the Louisville district of Columbia. He was soon reassigned to Pittsburgh to supervise improvements in the Allegheny, Monongahela an Ohio Rivers. He was promoted to major on 23 April 1904. The New York Times commented that, "[W]ithin a few years [he] came to be recognized as the most efficient river and harbor engineer in the country. There is hardly a navigable river east of the Rockies with the development of which one way or another he has not been identified." [8]

In 1907, President Theodore Roosevelt appoined Major Goethals to be the chief engineer of the Isthmian Canal Commission charged with building a canal across the Isthmus of Panama. Major William Sibert was appointed one his three engineers and assigned the the extremely complicated task of building the Gatun Locks and the Gatun Dam on the Chagres River.

In 1914 William was sent to China to work on flood control; he returned after a few months to be in command of the Pacific artillery in San Francisco. On 4 March 1915 a special act of Congress made William a brigadier general. Among those trained in warfare, the raising of an engineer to such a postion, caused some resentment. On 21 May, his wife Mamie died of meningitis in San Francisco. [10]

When World War I came in 1917, General Pershing found the supply of line generals limited and he selected William as his second-hand man and placed him in command of the the First Division, A.E.F.: "a man who knew about hydrodymanic pressure and the calculus of Pascal's law but had no battlefield experince." William was summed for active duty on 26 April and promoted to major general in June. On 12 December Pershing relieved William of his command and sent him back to the United States to be commanding general of the Southeastern Department of the Army at Charleston, South Carolina. [11]

In June 1918, William was named the commander of the newly formed Chemical Warfare Service. The New York Times wrote, "If an army officer was to have control and direction of the Chemical Services, which includes some of the leading scientists of the country, no more competent man than General Sibert could have been found." William was later awarded the U.S. Army's Distinguished Service Medal and the Legion of Honor from the French government for his work in the Chemical Warfare Service during the war. [12]

William retired from the army on 4 April 1920 and retired to his farm near Bowling Green. In 1923 in led Alabama State Docks construction project in Mobile. In 1928 he chaired an advisory board that was to investigate and report on the construction of the Boulder Dam—later the Hoover Dam—on the Colorodo River. [13]

Wilmoth Farmer came to China as a missionary in 1901 and he and Martha married on 26 January 1904 in Canton. On 31 April 1907—in hope of a rest for Wilmoth—Ada and Wilmoth set sail for home. In the United States, they visited Ada's family and in the spring they had a son who lived only briefly. On 17 January 1909 they departed Vancouver for China. On 5 January 1910 Ada complained of being ill with severe dysentery and on 14 March 1911 she died of the disease. She was buried in the foothills of the Western Mountains. [1]

Wilmouth, the son of James A. and Mary Elizabeth (Farmer) Farmer was born on 14 Ocober 1877 in Conyers, Georgia. He died on 30 October 1970 and is buried in the Santa Clara Mission Cemetery in Santa Clara, California. [2]

After Ada's death, Wilmoth returned to the United States. The Methodist church sent him back to China, but he found himself drawn to Catholicism there and the church dispatched him back home. In the United States he converted, and was later ordained a Jesuit priest, renamed Father Francis X. Farmer. He returned to China as a Jesuit missionary and served there from 1926 to 1949—he was held prisoner by the Japanese from December 1941 to August 1945. He spent the years 1949 to 1966 at Loyola University. [2]
