I'm giving you the heads up on something here, just so that you are aware, there are two different sets of Gibson's living in the same area and county. One is from Tyrone County, North Ireland (which is mine) Your line is from Cork County, Southern Ireland. Wether these two connect somewhere along the line, I do not know. A bit of initerest is this: My side(uncle) Robert Gibson, b 1717 m Mary McClellan Your side: Robert Gibson, b 1712 m Isabella Smith See what I mean, often times the two are mixed as the same when they are not. Take care, Karen

Well, no. Robert married Isabella ?(could be) Fortune. Fortune was somewhat common in County Wexford and County Carlow. We have that surname from a somewhat recently discovered history. Son George was married to Elizabeth Smith. Daughter of Zechariah and Rachell (?)Smith. Records of Augusta County, Virginia, 1745 - 1800, p.179 Page 150 (vid. page 63 infra.).--19th February, 1788.

Executors, son Mathew Smith and Zechariah Johnston. Teste: Margaret Caldbreath, Ann Johnston.
