Hebbardsville
From The Walker History of Athens County
A large family of Hibbards, originally from Vermont, came to Athens county at an early day. Elisha and John in 1816,
Alanson and Elias and their sister Pamela (afterwards Mrs. Sabinus Rice) in 1817, and Dr. James Hibbard in 1823.
The Rev. Ebenezer Hibbard, eldest brother of this family, who was pastor of a church in Vermont for forty years, came
to Alexander township in 1831, and settled in Hebbardsville, giving his name slightly altered, to the village. He preached
in this neighborhood for some time, then removed to Amesville and preached until his death in 1835.
