David Jacob Stibbe, also known as David Jacobs Stibbe Sjoesjan, and as David Sjoesjan, took over the Stibbe Apothecary from Meindert Stibbe on 13 January 1738. Meindert, a protestant, died around the 1st of January 1738 without any descendants or heirs. David was employed by Meindert Stibbe at the apothecary. David subsequently used the name Stibbe. David was granted 'limited citizenship' in Zwolle on the 4th Feb 1738 and became a member of the Merchants' Guild (Sint Nicolai Gilde) the next day. About 1750 he was appointed Cantor and Rabbi in 1772. He carried out both these functions until 1802.

The name Stibbe probably came from a cough powder they sold with Antimony Chloride (Stibium Muriaticum) as an ingredient. Subsequent research revealed that the name Stibbe originates in Kreis Krone in Prussia (now part of Poland) where many Stibbe names occur together with derivatives of that name, such as Stbe, Stubbe,Steibert, etc. There was also a town Stibbe. Meindert Stibbe, or his ancestors may have come from this area.

Jacob Stibbe kwam op 20 augustus 1717 in Amsterdam als David Jacobs Sjoesjan ter wereld en verhuisde op jeugdige leeftijd naar Zwolle. Aanvankelijk was hij bediende in de drogisterij van de protestantse familie Stibbe. Na het overlijden van de eigenaar Meindert Stibbe in 1738 neemt David Jacobs de zaak en ook de naam over. Daardoor legt hij de basis voor het joodse geslacht Stibbe uit Zwolle. Behalve drogist was David Stibbe ook gazzan, leraar en vanaf het in gebruik nemen van de Librije van het Broerenklooster als synagoge in 1757, rabbijn. In 1772 wordt hij opperrabbijn vanZwolle en omstreken. Hij blijft in functie tot 1802 en overlijdt op 17 december 1806.
