General Notes: Husband - Thomas Gibson


He was a native of Ireland, and immigrated to America about 1800, stopping in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, for one year, and then moved to Allegheny County, and engaged in farming in Pine township. He was justice of the peace for that township for thirty years, and afterward moved to Allegheny City, where he died.

When William III., of England, distributed honors among his soldiers after the historic battle of the Boyne, one of those raised to knighthood was an ancestor of Robert M. Gibson, of Gibsonia, Pennsylvania. To this family belonged Thomas Gibson, a native of Ireland, who accompanied his mother to America when a lad of twelve years, locating in Pine township, Allegheny county, Pennsylvania, where he passed his entire life. His calling was that of a farmer. [GPHWP, 826]
