I am interested in anyone with connections to a GIBBONS family in Newark (1880's - 1920). Martha Gibbons (born in Ireland) had 2 sons and a daughter (all born in England) Thomas E. Gibbons Daniel Gibbons Gertrude Gibbons Now the Gibbons married into my DEMPSEY family via a colateral line. Gertrude Gibbons married Daniel Dempsey (my great-grandfather's brother) in 1907. Daniel Dempsey died in 1918. Here's the reason I'm interested in finding a descendant of the Gibbons: A few years ago I found out where Daniel Dempsey was buried in Holy Sepulchre. On a trip there in 2003 I went to the cemetery to see if there was a headstone and I literally tripped over the stone. The stone had sunk down into the earth so that only about 4 inches was sticking out of the ground. I was with several of the grounds people and they offered to pull the stone out for me. The next thing I know they have driven over a backhoe and they slowly pulled the stone from the ground. I was expecting to see my Daniel Dempsey on the stone but instead it was Thomas Gibbons. He died also in 1918 while serving in the Army Corp of Engineers during WWI. I spoke to Kathy at the Holy Sepulchre office and she confirmed for me that Daniel Dempsey and Thomas Gibbons were buried in the same grave. I'd like to contact any Gibbons decendants to let them know what I have found. The stone is a nice military headstone and I think Thomas E. Gibbons deserves a chance to be "found" by his family again. Shawn
