Bibb, Peyton, planter and Methodist minister, was born May 26, 1784, in Prince Edward County VA, and died October 13, 1840, at his home near Robinson Springs, Elmore County. [He was the] son of William and Sallie (Wyatt) Bibb; [and] brother of Gov. William Wyatt Bibb; Gov. Thomas Bibb; John Dandridge Bibb; and Benajah Smith Bibb. He removed to Alabama from Abbeville District SC in 1820, settling in Autauga, now Elmore County, and built a residence called "Spring Hill", about 8 miles north of Montgomery. He built a tanyard and on a nearby creek a grist mill, and navigated the Alabama River to Mobile for supplies by means of flat-boats. He placed on the river two steamboats, the "Morgan" and the "Caroline", the first is thought probably to have been the second to ascend the river as high as Montgomery. For a time he lived in Montgomery and for the last fifteen years preceding his death was a Methodist Protestant minister. [He] married... [in 1804 in Columbia County GA], to Martha Cobb... [Their] children [were]: 1. Nancy, m. James Terry; 2. Edna, m. Zachariah Watkins; 3. Harriet, m. Dr. Albert Gallatin Goodwyn, parents of Albert Taylor Goodwyn; 4. Peyton Dandridge; 5. Joseph B.
