James Bybee, son of David and Nancy Ann Bybee, was born about 1766 in Fluvanna County, Virginia. Family records mention that he married Margery Emerson, but we doubt this. The marriage records of Amherst County, Virginia, indicate that James Bybee, bachelor, married Margery Baber, spinster, on September 30, 1786. Richard Burnett provided the surety, and David Witt stated that Margery Baber was his wife's sister. James Bybee was listed in the 1787 tax list for Fluvanna County. He indicated that he was of the age 16-21. He and Margaret moved to Kentucky in 1792, when the rest of the family moved, and continued to live and farm there until their deaths. On November 9, 1831, he bought a tract of land from Alexander McKinney for $77.50. On September 27, 1832, James bought more land from Travis Adams. James died on December 28, 1837.
