Anyone have the genealogy of the below George Gibson? Deciding to exercise my brain some, I've decided to grasp at straws. I have a George Gibson born Ireland 1732, son of a Robert and Isabella Gibson. Considering the dates might he (BIG grasp) be a grandson of the below George? >From the history I have, we're stuck in 1732 Cork Co. Ireland. Cork Co is southern Ireland yet this Gibson family were members of the Tinkling Spring Meeting House, Augusta County, Virginia in 1743. 1. Mary, baptized 15 Mar 1743 2. Elisabeth, baptized 17 Mar 1745 3. William, baptized 3 May 1747 4. Isabella, baptized 3 May 1747 5. James, baptized 19 Mar 1749 15th May, 1754. Beverley to Robert Gibson, 370 acres in Beverley Manor.

Domestic Annals of Scotland Reign of Charles II.: 1660 - 1673 Part D ________________________________________________________________________ 1668, May 7 John Gibson of Durie had a petition before the Privy Council regarding his niece Anna Gibson, daughter of the deceased Sir Alexander Gibson of Durie. His complaint was, that Anna had been unwarrantably carried away into the Highlands by certain persons unknown, but for no other imaginable purpose than to acquire an influence over her mind in the choice of curators. We learn through other channels that the young lady was an orphan, scarcely eleven years of age, and that she was living at Perth at the time of her abduction. Her deceased mother was Marjory Murray, a sister of the Viscount Stormont, and we are informed by Lamont, as part of the gossip of the day, that it was by this nobleman’s means that the young lady was carried off, his aim probably being to prevent her paternal relatives from acquiring an exclusive influence over her. The Council, on the supplication of John Gibson, issued warrants for a search after Anna Gibson, and the taking of her from the hands of any into whose power she had fallen; also threatening punishment for her detention, and decreeing a fine of £20,000 Scots to any man who should marry her. We hear nothing more of this case till the ensuing 11th of February, when the Lord Chancellor acquainted the Council that Anna Gibson had been brought to his lodging that forenoon. She was ordered to be placed in the family of Mr Alexander Gibson, one of the clerks of the Council, ‘ay and while she shall make choice of her curators after her age of twelve years complete.’ Apparently, the relatives on both sides had afterwards come to an agreement about this young heiress, as Lamont tells us that, on the 28th of August 1669, ‘Mistris Anne Gibson, Dune’s niece, remaining at Dune for the time, did choose her curators; among whom were the Earl of Rothes the chancellor, Sir Andrew Murray, and the Tutor of Stormont, her uncles on the mother’s side; Dune and his brother George Gibson, her uncles on the father’s side, &c. They dined that day at David Johnston, in Cupar, his house.’ Mrs Anna Gibson afterwards became the wife of John Murray of Touchadam and Polmaise. It is worthy of observation that she was the great-granddaughter of Lord Dune who was kidnapped by George Meldrum of Dumbreck; see under September 1601.
