ROBERT B. HIBBS farmer, P.O. Bristol, was born in Bristol 
township, January 20, 1820, and is a son of Mahlon and 
Margaret (Brodnax) Hibbs, natives of Pennsylvania, and of 
English origin.  His father was a mason by trade, his family 
consisting of five children.  Robert B. is the second, and 
was reared on the farm, attending the common schools at 
Hulmeville in Bucks county.  He chose farming as the 
business of his life, in which he has met with success.  His 
financial success is due to his industry, economy, and 
determination to succeed.  He is the owner of a 
well-improved farm of 145 acres.  He was married in 1844 to 
Sarah B. Hutchinson.  Their children are:  Charles Willis, 
who is married, and engaged in farming; and Evaline W., wife 
of William Milner, also a farmer.  Mrs. Hibbs is a member of 
the Methodist Episcopal church.
