Mother: Uncertain
Husband: John Hibbert b.1682

Dorothy Hibbard b.1720
Notes:
-Dorothy has been assigned various fathers, including Thomas Graves and Ebenezer Graves. Her baptism in Beverly identifies her as "daughter of Goody Graves of Lyn Church baptized here in communion of churches"; but is the only baptism on the page that does not list a father. Perhaps this indicates her father was deceased at this time. Ebenezer Graves, mariner of Boston, lists in his 1719 will, a "Dorothy Hebourne" as a beneficiary, which is probably her; although his beneficiaries are more likely to be his sisters, rather than his daughters.
