  "To Gidron Sallonstal Esq. Judge of the Court of probate for one of the Districts of the County of New London Greeting These may Certifi that Thomas Viber of New London Son to William Viber Deceased now in his fifteenth year personally appeared before me the Sixth Day of April 1753 and made choice of his grandfather Mr. John Veber of New London to be his gardian. Joshua Raymond - Justice Peace Mr. Viber is appointed Gardian to Thos. Viber To Clerk of Probate N.L. district N.L. April 8, 1754" No record has come to hand as to whether Thomas married. However, a Thomas Vibber is listedin the 1790 census and the following information with regards to his household: 3 Free White Males of 16 Years and Upward (Including head of family) 2 Free White Males under 16 Years 5 Free White females Sometime between 1790 and 1800 the entire family left New London County, as no further record of this family can be found in any census from 1800 to 1850. In the section on John II and John III it was noted that no John was listed in the 1790 census of New London County. But a Thomas was listed as shown above. The theory of the move by John II and JohnIII to Buckland or Charlemont, MA is further enlarged to include the theory that Thomas also moved to that area. The following death notice, tends to strengthen the theory: "Veber, Abner, ae 70 yrs., 7 mos., 20 days, widower, farmer, b New London, Conn; d. old age at Charlemont, 27 Nov., 1859." Not that Abner Veber would necessarily be the son of Thomas, but a connection between New London and Buckland and Chlaremont does seem to exist. Aletter to New London regarding the birth of Abner Veber or Vibber was kindly responded to, but New London has no record of Abner being born there. The dates of deaths (probably NY State) of Thomas, or his wife Mercy is not known. "Guilliam's references to Thomas Vibber are in Colchester Deeds; 5 Nov. 1764, Thomas and Mercy Vibber of New London, CT., for L20, Sold to Benjamin Randall of Colchester, CT., all the rights and interests they had in a track of land in Colchester, containing 31 acres purchased by Lemuel Fitch of Samuel Meacham, and adjoining Fitch's farm." "5 May 1789, Thomas Vibber and Mercy his wife, of Colchester, for L70, conveyed to Lemuel Fitch Vibber, Anne Vibber, and Sally Vibber (all of Colchester,) all the Grantor's right in the land which belonged to the Grantor's Brother Mr. Daniel Fitch of Colchester, deeded which, had descended to Mercy (Mary) Vibber, as heir to said deceased." "5 July 1799, Thomas Vibber and Mercy, his wife sold to Hezekiah Abel, four acres and 24 rods of land in Colchester, lying by Norwich Road, near Deep River, which they had derived from the estate of Lemuel Fitch; and also to John and Timothy Tenant, two pieces of land in Colchester, derived from the estate. Also, on the same day, to Ransford Comstock, about 39 acres in Colchester, with dwelling house and barn adjoining the above." New York Genealogical and Biographical Society Library - Researched by Anne (Durand) Logan in 1950's In Memory of Thomas Veber Who died Dec 16, 1811 in the 72nd year of his age
