  • Notes 
    • Baker says that Nathaniel grew up as a member of the Congregational Church, and Society, in the North Parish (Montville) and was active in the affairs of the Church and Town. The Church records say "adm. ch. after 1739". It is surprising therefore to find no church or vital records on his marriage, or births and baptisms of his children.

      Nathaniel inherited "The Vibber Place" from his father and lived and farmed there.

      H.A. Baker says that Nathaniel died in 1781 and that his estate was distributed on October 9th, 1781. However, probate court was made up on November 3rd, 1773, which indicates that Nathaniel died sometime in 1773, probably October 1773. The land involved in the estate, however, was not divided up until October 1781, which H.A. Baker took as the year of his death. Nathaniel apparently died withouta will. Desire (Brown) Vibber appears to have been alive.

      "May 1 Sunday fair (1720)

      I was much indisposed in the aforen. aftern at Meeting. Mr. ad. pr. al. d. Richard Douglas a Son Baptizd Richd jno Vibbert 1 Nathaniel and Jno. Coit Junr one John."

      II. NATHANIEL (6), b. 6 Feb., 1720, son of John Vibber and Joanna Williams; m. Desire Brown. He was a
      member of the church and society in the North Parish, was active in the affairs of the church, captain of the training band, and was a farmer, living on tho farm formerly occupied by his father. He died in 1781. Estate distributed 9 Oct., 1781

      In the Colonial Records of Connecticut 1751-1757, under date of May 1755 we find the following entry: "This Assembly do establish and confirm Mr. Nathaniel Viber to be Lieutenant of the 3d company ortrainband in the town of New London, and order that he be commissioned accordingly."

      A division of the land involved can be found pp. 46 Ruth Staples Vibber - Vibbery Family.

      "Viber, Nathaniel, s. John & Johanna (Williams) b. Feb 6, 1720; m. Desire Brown d. of Sameul."
