Book Description
"Dr. Leonard Gibbs descends in a double line from the emigrating ancestor, Thomas Gibbs [1615-1692/3] through the latter's sons, John and Thomas. Thomas, his origin undetermined but probably Great Britain, is first noted in Plymouth, Plymouth County, Mass., on a 1643 list of those able to bear arms. By 1654, and possibly much earlier, he had moved to Sandwich, Barnstable County, Mass."--Page 5. Leonard Gibbs (1775-1824), son of Isaac and Lucy Gaines Gibbs was born at Lebanon Crank, Connecticut and died at North Granville, N.Y. In 1798, he married Betsey Robards (1780-1829) who was the daughter of William and Phebe Fuller Robards. Ancestors and descendants lived in Massachusetts, Connecticut, New York, Wisconsin, Oregon, Georgia, Louisiana, Florida, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Arizona, California, New Jersey, Minnesota, Ohio and elsewhere.
