The chancery petition ("bill of complaint") transcribed below lists the following children of Heinrich (Henry) and Mary Kibler:
Adam Kibler
John Kibler
Martin Kibler
Philip Kibler
Molley Kibler (married Jacob Baker)
Barbara Kibler (married Lewis Pence)
An ancestry.com tree gives the following info:
Heinrich Kibler (Kublar) 1746-1801 (born Germany)
Mary Amelia Pierce 1744-1799 (born Germany)
Magdalene Kibler 1760-1830 (Jacob Baker)
Barbara Kibler 1762-1825 (Lewis Pence)
Adam Kibler 1764-1815
John Kibler 1765-1841
Philip Kibler 1768-1847
Martin Luther Kibler 1772-1852
Heinrich (Henry) and Mary married 1759, Shenandoah Co, Va. The above ancestry.com dates for deaths of Henry and Mary are unconfirmed. There is dispute on whether Mary died in 1799, but she did survive her husband. There is also dispute on Mary's maiden name.
The LVA Chancery Index has two Shenandoah County cases dealing with the estates of Henry and Mary: Index numbers 1801-012 and 1812-008 (below). (Index year is not the year the case began--as is modern practice--but the year the case ended). Under then Virginia law, a surviving widow had a dower right by law that trumped the rights of child heirs, so a widow's omission from a case dealing with a husband's estate could indicate that she predeceased him.
