Christopher (0Research) Kilbee of Middlesex Co VA
Research Note: Christopher was the brother of John Kilby who immigrated to Boston MA before 5/1662.
Christopher Kilbee was born in about 1645 in Ware, Hertford County, England. Christopher's date of birth is set from his father, Humphrey Kilbee's date of birth in 1620.
Sometime before 12/1664, Christopher immigrated to Lancaster Co VA and then married Kathryn Hill b. c. 1644 in Virginia. Kathryn was the daughter of Charles Hill and Audrey Hill, who married second William Frizel. After Kathryn's marriage, William Frizel, Kathryn's guardian, delivered her dowry of cattle to the new bride.
The family attended Christ Church Parish of Middlesex Co VA. Unfortunately, there are few records to be found. Christopher and Kathryn lived their lives in Middlesex Co VA where they died.
There is one additional record for a Christopher Kilbee in 1718. That Christopher was surety for young Catherine Kilbee, daughter of William Kilbee, deceased. It is possible that this was Grandpa Christopher who would have only been about 73 at the time.
