I'm trying to find out more information on where my ancestor, Hugh Gibbs, originated. Hugh is listed in the 1820 Census as living in Tate Township. I have found on the Clermont Ohio list a posting of Tate Township property holders 1826: Gibbs, Hugh, No. 762, Henry Moss, original proprietor. Three Gibbs children were born in Ohio. The oldest, W. W. Gibbs was born in Clermont County, May 4, 1824; then Andrew abt. 1827; and B. F. abt. 1829. These might be Hugh's children or grandchildren. I'm descended from Hugh's daughter or granddaughter, Lydia Gibbs, who might have been born in Ohio too since her birthday is December 28, 1822. In 1837 Hugh Gibbs bought property in Hancock Co. IN. The deed listed him as Hugh Gibbs of Clermont Co. Ohio. That's how I've traced him back to this county. Then someone sent me a history of Hancock Co. and it mentions son or grandson W. W. Gibbs born in Clermont Co. Ohio. I was hoping that possibly the same type information would be on a deed record or history record in Clermont County. Would anyone have access to this type of information? Or could possibly find a birth record for Lydia Gibbs? I would appreciate any help with more information on Hugh or Lydia Gibbs. Sincerely, Gwen Brooks
