A genealogy of the descendants of Joseph Bixby, 1621-1701 of Ipswich and Boxford, Massachusetts, who spell the name Bixby, Bigsby, Byxbie, Bixbee, or Byxbe and of the Bixby family in England, descendants of Walter Bekesby, 1427, of Thorpe Morieux, Suffolk . on until revisited his old home the year of his grandfathers death. Hemade the positive statement that Jonathan and Riley Bixby ofRoyalton were sons of Samuel Bixby, brother of my grandfatherJoel, also, that on the way West in 1844 his father and himself,while in Buffalo, went to see a cousin of his (i. e. of Levi) by thename of Daniel Bixby; his fathers name was Daniel,* my grand-fathers brother. This letter was written in 1898. In 1886 hewrote he had never heard his father say much about his grand-fathers brother, referring to some former communication. Joel Bixby was born eight years earlier than Samuel, son of Jona-than, who was the father of Jonathan and Riley. Daniel, anolder brother of Joel, in 1840 was living in Chazy, N.

The referenceto the two Daniels is most puzzling, the more so as the other state-ments of Ira Bixby have been found to be accurate in most particu-lars, even more so than other accounts of the family. 12731 V. Samuel Bixby (Samuel, Mephibosheth, Daniel, Joseph), bornprobably at Shrewsbury, Mass., prior to Dec, 1739, perhaps inthe preceding year, although family tradition asserts that he wasborn in 1740; died 1820, at Bainbridge, Chenango Co
