Welcome to the Thomas
Knowlton Gibson Genealogy Page.
Our branch
of the Gibson family is directly descended from many well known early
colonial
families.

and Delia,
and great uncle, Dr.
John Shackelford Gibson.

["In
July of 1690,
William Gibson, a leader of a
Clan, was with King
William III of England during the Battle
of the
Boyne in Ireland,
against
James 2nd, the dethroned King of
England. His
gallantry in the battle caused King William, known as William of
Orange,
to make him a
Lord. William of
Orange also gave him a castle
and grant in Yorkshire, England. He took the name of Lord
Durie, (ref.)
the
title his descendants maintain to this day." William "Lord

"The
life of
Ambassador, Lord William Gibson was recorded in a charter
by Sir John Moubray, of Barnbougle, knight, in favour of his
son, William de Moubray, in 1511."
The life of Lord
Thomas was the beginning
of a well
documented era of Barony, Knighthood,
Heraldry, Landed
Gentry, Peerage, and other designated
nobility.
Our Gibson
ancestors descended from Kenneth
I MacAlpin, Eochaid King of the Picts, the High
Kings of Ireland
and nine centuries of Scottish
Royal
Families.
[As more old
world
ancestral
records are placed on line, we now have access
to records that were very difficult and expensive to obtain

emigrated
to Virginia in 1696. Their son, Jonathan Catlett, married
Elizabeth Thornton and was the first of five generations of
Jonathan Catlett Gibsons.

Gibson-Craig
with his son William
Gibson-Craig,
both having served high
positions in the Scottish Parliament.
A descendant of Thomas is Thomas
Milner Gibson, 1806-1884, a member of the British
Parliament. Many Canadian Gibson also descended from this
branch.
The image is Lord
Alexander
Gibson, Fifth Baron,
First Lord Durie

during the reign of King Charles I, and
then Lord
Protector, Oliver
Cromwell.]

University

Ireland.]
Many Gibsons served
in the Parliament
of Scotland until the Acts of Union formed
the Kingdom of Great Britain
in 1707. Their
descendants then served in the Parliament of Great
Britain,
which sat at Westminster in London from 1707 until 1999. Two descendants, Kenneth Gibson and Robert Gibson continue to serve

[It
was very uncommon to have negative ancestral information
published. A reader would have to "read between the
lines" to find out
what actually occurred.
Genealogist
Frederick
Clifton Pierce
Esq, politely discussed witchcraft, when in 1883,
he
published "The
Gibson Family of Cambridge", cited on
page 388.
"Due to
the Rebecca Gibson witchcraft fiasco,
"certainly no eligible man, widowed or
single, would consider sister in law
Rebecca
(Errington) Gibson for a wife".]
John
Gibson Jr.
1641-1679 Born in Cambridge,
Middlesex, Massachusetts, the oldest son and fourth child of John Sr.,

experienced "financial
difficulty" and received a small amount of financial assistance from the church, after the death
of John in 1679.
She struggled to raise her young family
alone and in 1680 was identified by church elders as an
"unsuitable mother". (ref.)
After a brief session in court, her children were taken from her
and placed with "suitable church families".
Rebecca was then "put out
by the selectman to families in the country", obviously an extremely
difficult time for her with no record of her death.

Oct, 1669-1788 Daughter Rebecca was a "troubled child",
never married and died young. (ref.) There are obvious

1675-1731 on Oct 17, 1700. (ref.)
John III 1676-1751
It
would appear that
young John, obviously intelligent and well educated, had a different view on life and
was
apparently quite unhappy with his life in Cambridge.
"Under a
bad influence, he was
excommunicated for
his radical views". This
was not a good time to
be a Quaker
in the Mass.
Bay
Colonies.
Similar
incidents a few years earlier resulted in a swift
execution. The church elders then attempted to erase all records of his existence.
Timothy 1679-July 14,1757 Timothy
grew up with the family of Stephen Gates of Stow Massachusetts.
He

Gibson
III, proudly fought in the revolution with honor
and distinction.
Descendants
of Timothy include, shipping merchant Captain
Nehemiah Gibson, Boston merchant Charles
Gibson
and Gibson Girl artist Charles
Dana Gibson.
Well
known living descendants
of Timothy are artist William
Gibson, writer and Jeopardy star Hutton
Gibson, and his famous son's, actors Donal and Mel Gibson.
[Hollywood producer
and director, Mel Gibson
is very aware of our family history with many of his movies
recording events of our ancestors.]
[Obviously,
some of the Gibson family members were very independent in their
thinking and NOT active
members of the Cambridge community or the established church.]
[Contrary
to popular belief, the Massachusetts Bay Colonies were NOT
founded on
religious freedom, a few years earlier many Quakers
were
executed for their belief.]

Quakers
and with community antagonism toward his
religion, departed the hostile
Bay Colony area
as a young man, arriving in
the Quaker
friendly city of Philadelphia, some time between 1690 and 1693, and possibly indentured.
John might have lived
with his cousins William or Patience upon his arrival in Philadelphia,
the children of his uncle William Gibson.
An early teacher

administrator of Friends
Select School in Philadelphia, he was called by Attorney
General David
Lloyd in 1696,
