General Notes: Husband - George Gibb
He was born at Mt. Pleasant, Pennsylvania, and passed his childhood, up to his sixteenth year, in Ravenswood, West Virginia. What education he had was self-acquired, as he had little or no schooling, and at the age of fifteen years he removed from Ravenswood to Nevel Island. He quickly found employment as a riverman under Captain Joseph Anderson, of West Virginia. He did not, however, continue long in this aquatic life, but became a gardener, September 3, 1852, on Seven Mile Island, an employment which remained his principal occupation for thirty-two years, although he also dealt successfully in real estate. He eventually settled in Leet township, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, and there spent the remainder of his life. He owned considerable property both in Leetsdale and in Edgeworth, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, and was very well-to-do at the time of his death. He was a Republican in politics, and a member of the Presbyterian Church.
