THE GIBSON FAMILY

Is said to be of English origin, and two brothers, James and John, when coming to this country, are said to have lost their father on the passage. A doubtful legend is also related, that one of these brothers from England married the daughter of a nobleman, against the will of her parents, and that he was the father of Jeremiah Gibson, an early settler of Canterbury. The name appears as " Gipson " on the "Petition of 1768," which was signed by the oldest of the five broth- ers, who early gained possession of Lot No. 58; 2d Div., on which Union Bridge village now stands, and gave their original name (" Gib- son's") to the falls below the Bridge. Only the two oldest and youngest of these brothers ean now be traced to any extent. It is certain that their father did not settle here, though supposed, at first, to have been the "John of 1708." Perhaps he was the " Jeremiah of Canterbury," above. The five brothers were :

1, 2. JOHN [G]. JAMES [10].

3. JEREMIAH (Jerry), who lived near the south end of the lot where now Capt. Jacob Samboru (Lakeman place) ; m. Eleanor Forrest, sister of Jaue [19], and rem., with four children, quite curly, to Canada. Children, b., but not in. in S., were : - 1. Robert. 2. Jolin. 3. Judith. 4. Comfort.

4. ENOCH, was here with his brothers, umu., and also went to Canada.

5. THOMAS, the youngest, and the last who came to this region, located directly across the river, on the Gilmantou side, at Uniou Bridge. having pre- viously settled in Canterbury, and m. Jemima Shepard, dau. of James, of Revolutionary memory. (Their record coming late, must here be introduced in full. ) Children : - 1. Abigail. 2. Martha. Both d. young. 3. Euoch, b.

G. JOHN [1], was the earliest of the brothers in town; lived on the north end of the lot, near the present Rollins place, and being subject to fits, was drowned in one of them in early manhood, while going down to bis mill in a boat.

Was ensign, and so called to distinguish him from James [19], his nephew. Like all the Gibson raee, he is described as being of a very easy disposition, kind and good-natured, but exceedingly strong and athletic physically. In early times, when " all the town " had assembled, on one occasion, at the Falls, for the purpose of constructing " weirs " (sve Gen. Ilist.), after they had become well " warmed," Ensign Gibson gave out word that he " could put every man in Sanbornton under the water." The challenge was accepted, and he succeeded in carrying every man
