Welcome.
If you’re a Kimber with family ties to Orange County, New York, I’d be willing
to bet you belong with the Casper Kimber family.
7th
Great Grandfather Casper Kimber was an Orange County, New York pioneer arriving
in the county by 1739. Earlier records place Casper in Jamaica, Queens County,
New York and New York City.
I
have two 3rd Great Grandmothers that were Kimber’s—each lineage from
my maternal grandparents. Charity Kimber is a documented Casper Kimber descendant.
She was my Grandma Viola Lillian (Wilson) Doty’s Great Grandmother. My Grandpa
Frank Leroy Doty’s Great Grandmother was Phebe Maria Kimber. I haven’t yet
established Phebe Maria as a proven Casper Kimber descendant but hope to.
For
many years I’ve been trying to find evidence that Casper was the son of George
Kimber and Mary (or Maria) Nixon. They married in Brooklyn, New York 1685 and
afterward were Jamaica, Queens County, New York dwellers. I’ll discuss my theory at a future date with
you.
