Sheaniqua, I am not sure if I have the correct information, as I googled "Gibbs Plantation" and was directed to a "Gibsland" in Louisianna. If you think that information is correct, I would go to the geographic index ,which is part of the Beatty 2000 project database and look at the lineages which are located in Louisianna, and see if you see any town or county names that seem reasonable. I would also suggest you go to the Beatty message board and search for "Gibbs" Plantation. I cannot tell you where, but I thought in the past I had seen something about that plantation. There are many James Beattys, as I have one that is thought to be a part of my ancestry, but I know that he was not part of the Gibbs Plantation. I am sending you these ideas, as I am thinking, but may be mistaken, that plantation owners passed their names to those who worked for them, and that you are looking for a James Beatty. If I think of anything else, I will post another message.
