Is anyone on this list researching the GIBBS family in New Jersey? I am looking for the parents of Mahlon GIBBS. He was born 31 Aug.1793 in Burlington Co., NJ and died 1 Jan 1872 in Preble Co.OH. I think that he is the son of Richard GIBBS, born abt. 1778, Mansfield Twp. Burlington Co.NJ and died 24 Nov 1819 in the same place and his wife Mary ( have no last name). Mahlon married prior to 1825 to Julia Ann BRITTAIN in New Jersey. Richard's father was also Richard GIBBS, born 1740, Mansfield Twp.Burlington Co.NJ, died 13 Jan 1804, Burlington Co. NJ and his wife Mary Burroughs. This Richard's father was John GIBBS, born 6 Apr 1706, died 5 Jun 1785 and his wife Hannah Lucas. The ancestors of both Malon GIBBS and his wife Julia Ann BRITTAIN were Quakers but do not know if Mahlon was a practicing Quaker either in NJ or after moving to Ohio in 1830. I have no proof that Mahlon is the son of Richard and Mary - he was listed as a son in someone's family history. I know he was related to, or accociated with, the Newbold, Reading and Beck families because of the names given his children. Can anyone give me some help in establlishing the parents of Mahlon GIBBS, my gr gr gr grandfather. Betty McCollum Padilla
