Thomas Collier - To all Whose These It May Concern
Jacques BILBO was born in France. He immigrated to Virginia in 1700 and settled in Manakin Town. His and Susanne/Susanne Duty/Dutoi`s son, Jean Pierre (Peter) BILBO, was born in Manakin Town, Virgina, in 1706 and died in Lunenburg (later Mecklenburg) County, Virgina, in 1751. Jean Pierre married (1) Susanne Pankey, who died in 1739, and (2) Elizabeth ------. Jean Pierre (Peter) BILBO probably moved to Lunenburg (later Mecklenburg) County, Virginia, between 1747, when his son, William, was born in Manakin Town, Virginia, and 1751.

Notes for JOHN PETER BILBO:
In 1723, his son Jean Pierre Billiebeau was living in the house with Pierre Dutoi, which indicates that his parents were probably deceased. The fact that he was taken in by the Dutoi family, and later they left a tract of land to Isaac Dutoi in his will, might surmise that his mother was a Dutoi.
In 1747 or 1748, Jean Pierre {John Peter} sold his land in Manakin and moved to Lunenburg County in southern VA. He was listed as a tithable in Lunenburg Co., VA. in 1748. In 1750 he obtained 1626 acres of land on Allen's Creek near the Roanoke River. (Patent Book 29, Page 305)
Bilbo was a leader in his Church and affluent for the time. He owned 162 acres of land in King William Parish in 1732. The previous year he was appointed processioner for lands. March 15, 1734 he took oath as Vestryman and October 30, 1742 he took the oath of Church Warden. Birth records indicate that John Peter Bilbo stood as godparent to many born in the area.
John Peter Bilbo died 2 April, 1751 in Lunenburg County, Virginia. His will bears the date 15 November, 1750 and is recorded in Lunenburg Co. in Deed book 1, page 496.

Notes for E.A. WHITE:
14. MATTHEW BILBO (JAMES3, JOHN PETER2, JEAN JACQUES1) was born Abt. 1762 in Virginia, and died 1798 in Mississippi Territory. He married EDNA GEORGE April 30, 1788 in Halifax County, Virginia, daughter of JOHN GEORGE and FRANCES. She was born Abt. 1767 in Pittsylvania County, Virginia, and died Bef. 1870 in Greene County, Georgia.
Notes for MATTHEW BILBO:
In 1790, John GEORGE migrated from Pittsylvania County, Virgina, to Greene County, Georgia, where he died the same year. The 1785 tax list for Pittsylvania County, Virginia, shows 10 whites in the John GEORGE household. Based on the research of Marty Grant, the known children of John GEORGE were Mary, who married Daniel ROBERTS in 1786, Edna, who married Matthew BILBO in 1788, and William, born about 1771. Matthew BILBO and Edna (GEORGE) BILBO went with John GEORGE to Greene County, Georgia. Mary and William are unaccounted for. John, Richard, Thomas, and Benjamin GEORGE, who were later noted in Lincoln County, Tennessee, could account for the remaining members of the John GEORGE household. Together with William GEORGE, we would have the right number of families, in the right age group, and with the right family associations. There is no firm proof for this assumption, but the circumstantial evidence is strong and makes this area the best choice for further research.
In 1790 Matthew was in Wilks County, court records. We next find him in Greene Co., GA in 1795 court records. On Dec 03, 1797, Matthew was given permission to go through the Creek Nation and arrived at the Tombigbee River settlement in present day Washington Co., AL. He built his home on an island in the Tombigbee River, and claimed in addition a tract of land west of the island which was bounded by the river and by Bilbo creek. The island and creek were named for Matthew Bilbo, and are known by the name Bilbo today.
On Oct 23, 1802, Thomas Bates, a neighbor, entered the land claim for Matthew, which leads us to believe that he was ill at the time and unable to enter his own claim. Having a neighbor transact business for one was not at all an uncommon practice at the time.
