Thank you to everyone trying to help. I live in Oregon so have no idea what the country side was like or the history of the area. Does anyone know of a good local history book that would give me some insight to the settlement?? The family I am researching is GIBBS, also GIB, GIBB, etc. I have the will of Robert Gibbs dated 1776, Westmoreland County. The ex. are his wife Elizabeth and son Hugh. I am interested in trying to locate records from the Orphan's Court, as he had young children. In 1780 Elizabeth and Hugh are in Cumberland Co. and sell the land in Westmoreland. There are two Hugh Gibbs I believe in Cum. Co. at that time. By 1792, Elizabeth and children are in Logan Co., KY. Was there a good road between Westmoreland and Cumberland Co. I believe Robert and family may have lived in Cumberland Co., even Lancaster before Cum. county was divided, went to West. co., and after he died the widow and children moved back to Cum. County. I anxious await any comments from people familiar with the area and what records are available. Thank you very much. Stephanie, Oregon "It is not in the stars to hold our destiny but in ourselves."
