    Son of Robert D. Bisbee Jr. (1825-1851) and
    Elvira Moses Bisbee (1823-1898)

  • Notes 
    • Died Age 87 Yrs. 20 Das.
      Various records show: Rev. Robert E. Bisbee, Methodist minister, Royalton, VT., 1891-1892. Rev. Robert E. Bisbee, minister, Carver, Mass., 1912. Rev. Robert E. Bisbee, minister, South Middleboro., Mass., 1938

      One Robert Edgar Bisbee was a member of the Massachusetts Minimum Wage Commission from 1913 to 1918. One Robert Edgar Bisbee was the author of "Essence of Christianity." Mr. Bisbee was from Calumet, Mass.

      One entry of Vital Records, Maine Secretary of State, gives Robert Edgar as the son of Robert Jr. and Elvira A. Moses. Robert d. "Aged 87 yrs. 20 das."

      There is a mix up in the book, or the father of Rev. Charles and Rev. Robert Edgar Bisbee is not Robert D. Jr. Bisbee #81704 page 295 of F. J. Bisbee book. Have information from Zella Elvira #10-941's son Alfred Bisbee Butler and Royal Daniel #10-942's son Royal Daniel Bisbee Jr. #11-962, both gave the same information. Alfred Bisbee Butler also sent a copy of a picture that his mother Zella #10-941 had written on it: "This picture was taken by my Father (Rev. Charles E. Bisbee), for the first and last time the six Bisbee children of Robert and Charles Bisbee were together. It was summer in Winthrop. The picture was taken on the steps of our house. Front row: cousin Edna, her brother Robert, my brother Royal. Back row: my Mother Luetta, my sister Lucia, Zella (me) and cousin Rena." Now these are the same children of Rev. Robert Edgar #92201 page 408 of F. J. Bisbee's book. Except, they had Robert and this is Joseph. These have to be the two brothers that Alfred Bisbee Butler had the picture of. [3, 4]
