Hi Mike, I wish I knew!!! The only Gibbs I know of in NY were: Joseph Sylvester b. 1832 NY, m. 1858 in TN Theodore H. b. 7/3/1806 Rensselaer, m. 10/7/1824 NY, d. TN So they were in NY between at least 1806 and 1832--beginning in Renssalaer, but I don't know after that. I think Theodore's wife was from Massachusetts--so how did they find each other? Anyway, good luck with yours--let me know if you think we can link! Cyndi in Baltimore
