ELISABETH BIBLE, aka BIEBEL, was born in Augusta County, Virginia and married JACOB VANDEVENDER on February 21, 1777 in Brocks Gap, Rockingham County, Virginia, according to the William and Mary Quarterly Historical Magazine that recorded Marriage Records of Rev. John Alderson, Sr. Alderson was the pastor of the Linvill Creek Baptist Church in Rockingham County County, Shenandoah Valley, Virginia and founded the Greenbrier Baptist Church at Alderson in Greenbrier County, Virginia, now in Monroe County, West Virginia. ELISABETH is the daughter of JOHANN HANS ADAM BIEBEL (surname later changed to BIBLE) and MARIA EVA MARGARETHA MUELLER.
She died before her husband, JACOB, who died on 19 May 1835 intestate in Pendleton County, Virginia. ELISABETH was not named in the Indenture of the settlement of JACOB's property, therefore she had predeceased him.

CHILDREN OF ELISABETH AND JACOB ARE:
(1) Christopher Vandevender born 15 Dec 1777; died 10 Nov 1862 in Scooba, Kemper County, Mississippi; married Mary Akers.
(2) Eve Vandevender born circa 1779; died probably in Ohio; married Jacob Conrad.
(3) Adam Vandevender born circa 1783; died in Indiana; married Elizabeth Trumbo on 10 Aug 1820 in Pendleton County, Virginia.
(4) Susanna Vandevender born circa 1785; married William Baker.
(5) Elisabeth Vandevender born 27 Apr 1790; married Solomon Phares, on 12 Jan 1808 in Pendleton County.
(6) Philip Vandevender born circa 1791; died in Missouri; married Elizabeth.
(7) George Vandevender born circa 1792; died Randolph County, West Virginia; married Susannah.
(8) Lewis Vandevander born circa 1795; died probably in Indiana.
(9) Henry Vandevender born circa 1796; married Mary Magdalene Kuykendahl.
(10) William Vandevander born 31 May 1797; died in 1841; married Mary Cuberly.
(11) John Vandevender born unknown date; died Pendleton County; married Sarah Baker in 1806.

Elisabeth and her family were living at Fort Hinkle during the American Revolutionary War. Her father did patriotic service and was on a muster roll that is recorded in the Joseph Louis Cheuvront Bible, serving in Johann Justus Henckel's Militia created on 6 June 1775. He served in Capt. John Skidmore's company. ADAM is established with the Daughters of the American Revolution. Because the fort was located in the very southwest corner of the state of Virginia, they sent troops there to be trained for duty. It was also speculated that a spy ring operated from this fort but no records were kept for obvious reasons.

A story came down through the generations: It was said that the Bible family built an enclosed walkway from their house to the barn, so they could feed the cattle and other animals during the winter months without being subjected to the cold rain and blizzards.
