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."
