Our Gibson Family Saga began in 1725 when our earliest known ancestor, James Gibson, was imported to Virginia. He made this statement during a court proceeding on April 6, 1736 (Middlesex County Wills and Inventories, and Other Court Papers, p. 267). Most Indentured servants were bought over anywhere from a lad old enough to work to a young man. So James was probably born between 1705 - 1713. We still do not know where he was born or who his parents were. A few years after being released from his bond of service, James met Elizabeth �Isabel� Crosby and they were married at Christ Church in Middlesex County, Virginia. James and Isabel had three sons: John, Henry and Churchill. These events were recorded in the Church Register. |
