HISTORICAL SXETCH OF Ancestry The name Hibbs, according to a book of Welch names, dates from the tribal days and means the sons of Herbert and Isabella, but Ferguson disputes this by saying that the line was founded by Queen Hebba, who ruled in So. Saxony in 671. She was one of the first Christian queens, and established the first convents in Coldingham. Burke's Armory tells of the family having lived in Tunbridge Co., Kent, England, and gives the following: "a coat of arms a cheveron engrailed between three salmons argent- on a chief gules, as many storks of the second, ducally crowned-crest a demi-stork wings expanded, ducally crowned, holding in beak a salmon."
