  • Notes 
    • BIRTH: 15 Jun 1781 per age on gravestone in Hamline Cemetery. 1850 Census gives born Pennsylvania.

      MAIDEN NAME: In a letter written in 1939, Sarah's great granddaughter Mrs. James (Della) W. Good states that her great grandma's maiden name is Davis. Her son Isaac's death certificate lists parents as Charles Gibbons and Catherine Davis.

      MARRIAGE: On the land grant application she gave a marriage date of 23 Feb 1806. No location was given.

      RESIDENCE: Sugarloaf until husband died, then moved into home of Isaiah Cole in Salem Township, Luzerne County per land grant application. Isaiah Cole b. 1800 is husband of Mary Gibbons b. 1809. It would seem probable that Mary is a previously unknown daughter of Sarah.

      DEATH: 8 Aug 1859 from gravestone.

      PROBATE: Probate case opened 14 Aug 1877. Samuel Gibbons, (I assume her son) as administrator swears and affirms that she died on 8 Aug 1859. I am guessing that this is related to her son Thomas's probate in 1876. I am suspecting that the status of the160 acres she received in a land grant warrant (due to deceased husband's War of 1812 Service) in 1859 had to be cleared up in order to close Thomas's probate case. The Land Warrant (for land in Larned, Kansas) was sold and assigned to Lizzie Boyd on10 Feb 1880. Letters of administration were filed 14 Aug 1877 Vol 4 Page 499. (Year of record 1877 File No. 44). No apparent will for her or Charles.

      I was researching Charles Gibbons online and found 20 documents relating to his widow’s application for a Bounty Land Warrant in regards to his war of 1812 service. These documents can be viewed at https://www.fold3.com/image/1/313139604 This database is free, but you need to register.

      Also the probate index page at https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3QSQ-G9SM-75BW?i=840&wc=9PMK-JWG%3A268497701%2C268527501&cc=1999196 (also a free site, need to register) shows wills on file for Thomas and Isaac (sons of Charles). Although nothing listed for Charles himself. The wills themselves can be looked up on the familysearch.org site by going to the appropriate volume and page number.
