General Notes: Husband - James Gabby

---

He emigrated from Scotland with two brothers, John and William, to Maryland, thence moving to Washington County, Pennsylvania, in the year 1787. He located on a farm in Franklin township and became one of the pioneer settlers of the county. Washington County was then almost an unbroken wilderness, inhabited principally by the natives, who often wreaked their fury on the daring pioneers who presumed to invade their domain. One night they attacked the house of Mr. Gabby and burned it to the ground, the family, who had barely time to escape with their lives, saving nothing but a Bible and a rifle. James Gabby was originally a Federalist, and then a Whig. In religious faith he was a member of the Covenanter Church.

In one version, he was the brother of John and William. In another, he was the son of John.

He and his wife were cousins.
