General Notes: Husband - William Gibson


He was born in County Sligo, Ireland, and in 1841 emigrated to the United States, making the voyage, which was a very stormy one, in a sailing vessel, and spending three months on the ocean. He landed in New York and from that city came directly to the neighborhood of Bolivar, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, where he made his home. He was a farmer and, going into the forest, hewed timber with which he constructed a log house, barns and other buildings. He was active in the Republican party, and was a member of the Methodist Episcopal church known as the "Schawley Church."

He and his wife both lived to the age of eighty-four, the former being one month the elder, their deaths occurring one month apart.
