Tullytown, was born in Falls township, Bucks county, June 
13, 1831, and is a son of Joshua F. and Sarah (Stockton) 
Hibbs.  They were natives of Lower Makefield township, but 
spent most of their lives in Falls township.  His father was 
a farmer and was the father of four children, of whom Joseph 
S. was the second.  He was reared on the farm, receiving his

business, but has spent considerable time as a veterinary 
surgeon.  Financially he has been successful, and is the 
owner of a well-improved farm consisting of one hundred and 
seventeen acres of land.  He was married in 1855 to Miss 
Eliza, daughter of George and Hannah (Healey) Dennis.  This 
union has been blessed with eight children:  George D., 
deceased; Ella M., deceased; Frank W., farming; Albert S.,
