General Notes: Husband - John Bebout
The Bebout family was originally of French derivation, they having been Huguenots who fled from the persecution in France at the time of the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes and went to Holland. From that country they set sail to America, where for a time they settled in New Jersey and were living there at the time of the Revolutionary War. A number of the Bebouts served in that historic struggle and proved their devotion to the land of their adoption by their gallantry and courage. It was soon after the Revolution that one of the sons of the family made his way to western Pennsylvania and settled in Washington County, becoming the founder of the family of that name in that part of the country. Members of this branch of the family also served in the War of 1812 and still later in the Civil War.
