I have learned that the Gibtons of Dublin intermarried with the Gunnings in the 1700. The Gunnings were a somewhat more prominent Anglo-Irish gentry family than the Gibtons. Two young Gunning women who lived around that time were so beautiful they went on to become (by marriage) a duchess and a countess, respectively, in England, and the duchess was made a baroness in her own right. How I know the Gibtons intermarried with the Gunnings is that one Robert Gibton is described in various probate records as the son-in-law of John Gunning and the nephew (probably nephew-in-law) of Robert Gunning the Elder. However, despite a plethora of records reflecting Gibton marriages, I have not found one marriage record showing that a Gibton married a Gunning, therefore, I think the daughter of John Gunning that Robert Gibton married was probably born out of wedlock. Later on, the Gunning-connected wing of the Gibton family got into legal disputes with the Gunnings and took out an injunction against them. If anyone has any information about who in the Gunning family Robert Gibton married and what the legal disputes were about, I'd be indebted to you. Furthermore, if anyone knows whether the arrest of a Robert Gibton in the 1700s for making threats to burn down someone's house was connected with the Gunning dispute, I'd be pleased about that too!
