Welcome to the Thomas Knowlton Gibson Genealogy Page.

Our branch of the Gibson family is directly descended from many well known early colonial families.
Chris, Jon and I explored St. John's Episcopal Church Cemetery
in Norristown, PA, where many of our recent ancestors are buried.
The Gibson Family Coat Of ArmsThe final resting place of the Rev. Isaac Gibson.These pages record the genealogical research of ancestral information
 by my uncle Muscoe, his great aunt's
Ethel and Delia,
and great uncle,
Dr. John Shackelford Gibson.


The Knowlton and Gibson families have been recording ancestral information for hundreds of years with a plethora of books and documents available.  These records are amazingly accurate and correspond very well with information found on the Internet.  Our family history is exceptionally noteworthy, with a few emotional and tragic events, and many ancestors exhibiting a significant influence on the founding of our country, the development of Europe and western civilization.

    ["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 Durie", was the grandson of William b. 1576.] (ref.) (ref.) (ref.) (ref.)

  "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 just a few years ago.  (ref.)  (ref.) (ref.)  (ref.)
                       A superb reference is "The Scottish Nation,  A Biographical History of the People of Scotland" by William Anderson,  printed in London in 1877.]

       Mary      1514 -                With most daughters named Mary, Elizabeth, Jean or Margaret, it was obviously very confusing for late 19th century genealogists.

                                                                [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.

John Gibson Jr. 1641-1679 Born in Cambridge, Middlesex, Massachusetts, the oldest son and fourth child of John Sr., he died young just before the birth of son Timothy.

  b. 1643,  d. 4 DEC 1713.   Rebecca 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.

   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 was well educated,  became a church deacon and married  daughter Rebecca Gates. 
                                                                 Timothy's son, Captain Timothy Gibson II,  and grandson, Captain Timothy Gibson III,  proudly fought in the revolution with honor and distinction.

                                             [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.]

                                                   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 and administrator of Friends Select School in Philadelphia, he was called by Attorney General David Lloyd in 1696,
                                                   to help frame the Charter of Privileges, (especially his religious freedom writings in section one), the first Constitution of Pennsylvania.
                                                   It remained in effect until 1777 with some of his writing appearing in the U.S. Constitution, written in 1786, and still in use today.

  George was the father of the Honorable John Bannister Gibson, a highly respected Chief Justice of the Pennsylvania Supreme Court.
  He was also the father of Private George Gibson, a significant member of the Lewis and Clark expedition.
  Grandson Isaac was an officer in the Prince William Co. Colonial Brigade, and great grandson James Gibson, was a Colonel in the War of 1812.
  Another grandson, John Gibson, son of William, was an early colonial mayor of Philadelphia from December 5, 1772, to May 21, 1773.

   [It is a shame that Penny and O. D. Linder refused to use the Internet when writing their book. Yes, it is difficult separating the trash,  but a  vast amount of accurate old world information is available.
    I have discovered that there are significant errors recorded,  printed and passed on as fact by many of the 19th century genealogists with many of these printed mistakes listed corrected on the web.]
