General Notes: Husband - Samuel Gibson

---

In 1812, he emigrated to Oswego County, NY (then thickly inhabited by Indians), called the “far West.” Their mode of travel was on horseback and on foot along Indian trails. Samuel Gibson and John VanBuren, the brother of Martin VanBuren (subsequent President of the U. S.), purchased a large pine tract of land, put up mills, and shipped their lumber down the Oswego River to a French post on the bank of Lake Ontario, where the city of Oswego would be located.
