GLEANINGS OF VIRGINIA HISTORY.
At the opening of the Revolution he formed a company of a hundred men at Fort Pitt, and marching to Williamsburg, Va., was commissioned a captain in the Virginia line. Owing to the scarcity of powder and lead, he was selected by the governor to negotiate secretly with Spain, for a supply of these materials. He was successful in procuring supplies not only for Virginia, but for the other Colonies. For his ser- vices in this matter he was subsequently appointed colonel of the first Virginia regiment.
His men, known as " Gibson's lambs," were skilled sharp- - shooters ; and being distinguished for independence and per- sonal bravery, assisted in repelling Lord Dunmore's attack on Hampton, October 25, 1775.
He served with Washington through much of the Revolu- tion, his command of the first regiment extending from June 5, 1777, to January, 1782. As a supernumerary officer he con- ducted the march of the British captured at Yorktown to the town of York, Pa., where they remained under his command until they were sent to England.
The war being over, Gibson retired to his farm in Cumber- land county, Penn., where, for a time, he held the position of county lieutenant. He was not permitted, however, to remain in retirement. In 1791 he was made Colonel of Penn. and New Jersey troops, and participated in St. Clair's Defeat near Fort Recovery, Ohio, on the 4th of November of that year. In this battle he was mortally wounded, and his death occurred on the 14th of the following December.
Col. Gibson was a brave and meritorious officer.
