General Notes: Husband - Rev. John Gibson


When a lad of seven years he crossed the ocean, with his father, to America. He was educated for the ministry, and became a clergyman of the Reformed Presbyterian church. He possessed a large measure of intellectual ability and was a gifted and eloquent preacher. Old Covenanters from Vermont to the Carolinas, from Maryland to the Mississippi, loved, admired, and honored him. Besides ministering to his congregation, he had in charge for some years a large classical school. He was devoted to his work as a minister, and as a teacher of his people "from youth to hoary age." He passed away at the age of nearly four-score years.

He resided in Baltimore, Maryland, until 1837, and afterward in York, Pennsylvania; then in Frederick, Maryland, and again in Baltimore.


General Notes: Wife - Elizabeth Jameson


She was quite celebrated for her personal beauty. It was conceded in her day that the palm of beauty belonged to the Baltimore belles, "and there were
two Elizabeths that gave Baltimore its prestige of beauty, Elizabeth Jameson and
Elizabeth Patterson."
