The Sibbie community, near the Wilcox-Ben Hill County line, was named for Sibbie Wilcox Land. Other than that, I know virtually nothing of its history. It is a ghost town now, surrounded by the large farming operation of the Luke Family, and was probably never much more than a trading post for local farmers. The earliest reference I've found is on an 1899 Georgia railroad map, though I suspect it was settled a bit before then.
