Edward Kibbe

Edward Kibbe (c.1611–1694) was an early settler in the Massachusetts Bay Colony and an early resident of Dorchester, Massachusetts. He is regarded as the ancestor of the Kibbe/Kibbey family in New England.[1]

Kibbe is believed to have immigrated from England by 1639.[2] He appears in Dorchester town and church records during the mid-17th century.[3] His wife is unidentified in surviving documents.[4]

Kibbe died in November 1694, with his death noted in colonial records from Massachusetts and Connecticut.[5]
