He descends from a Robert Gibson m. to a Margaret Gibson. Robert Gibson is buried at the Arbroath Abbey with his inlaws. Margaret came, with her children. to central Illinois, USA. Interestingly, the family ends up in the same area belonging to the same church which was originally on the land of James Smith. James Smith's mother was Susannah Dorward, also from Arbroath, Scotland. At the present time, there appears to be some eight or ten families who came to this part of central IL from Arbroath. I would welcome learning more about this Susannah, if anything can be found on her. Carol Andris Dorward Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
