| History | A Colorado Argonaut, Isaac Van Bibber, was in business with David McCarty on Larimer Street in 1859. By June 5, 1859, Isaac Vanbiber entered a farm claim of 160 acres, which was not filed for record until Oct. 15, 1861. He was listed on the 1860 Kansas Territory U.S. Census as John Bibber, age 42, Kentucky miner. The census also noted that he was located in the Enterprise District of Arapahoe County, Kansas Territory, on September of 1860, Post Office Quartz Valley. Isaac Vanbibber sold his property in Jefferson County, Colorado Territory to Gilbert N. Belcher on May 1, 1862. Isaac Van Bibber's name was spelled in various ways on legal documents. |
