Notes:

Marie Case says Sarah visited them in the Bronx, NY. She was a large, busty woman who scared all of them. Marie felt she didn't approve of her mother and criticized everyone and everything. Marie thought Gib was happy to leave home. Sarah was a very stern person.

Keith Whigham has Sarah m. to a Clark previously.

Notes:

Marie Case thought August's family had something to do with inventing Venetian Blinds (or a type of them). August was disinherited because of marrying outside his religion (thought to be Catholic).

Gus was raised in the Bronx and worked for Gibson for awhile at the store. Gibson was crippled by burns in a linament fire which boiled over. He had locomotor taxia. He walked with a cane. He then became Superintendant of Inco in New York.

Johannes married Catherine Jane Post in 1830 in Linlithgo, Columbia Co., NY. Catherine was born on 17 Mar 1812 in Linlithgo, Columbia Co., NY; died on 4 Oct 1897 in Linlithgo, Columbia Co., NY. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

James McNeilly Gibson was my grgrandfather's brother and executor of their father,William's, will. I am trying to get someone to see if there is a letter of transfer for the family at Gilchrist Memorial Presbyterian Church.
There were SEVEN brothers and they all came over from N.Ireland. I have information on them from the 1830's on because they all show up in the census. You once told me that you had a reunion book for the James Gibson family. Are there any other McNeilly's listed there? I have been to LDS but N. Ireland is a hard place to find information. I'm guessing that Isabelle, the mother was either a McNeilly or a Craig. A Craig was also an executor of William's will.

At Genforum:
It is possible that your Amelia (1819) is the daughter of Gideon Wickham. Gideon, the son of John Wickham and Thankful Briggs died in Harpersfield I think around 1809. I do not have the information with me now, so apologize for the uncertainty. He did leave a will however.

A couple of weeks ago someone was enquiring about the townland of "Whigamstown" in Bright, Co Down. Well, I have lived in Bright all my life and I had'nt a clue where it was. I assumed it was an old and obsolete name which would be difficult to find. However, I happened to put a laminated copy of the following map:

Discoverer Series - Strangford Lough 1:50000 Sheet 21 (Ordnance Survey of Northern Ireland)

on my "study" wall yesterday. Then I looked at it to see all the familiar names and places. There, right in the middle of this area I thought I knew so well, was the word "Whigamstown". I've never heard my family use the name, but it is there all the same. It can be found in Ordnance Survey Sheet 45 (that's the traditional OS sheets). In Griffiths Valuation of 1863 it had 17 properties listed. The names are; Fitsimons(1 mention), Lavery(1), Starkey(3), Stewart(4), Hynes(1), Lowey(1), Ross(1), Denvir(1), McIlheron(1), Hanna(1), Ennis(2). The
immediate lessor (agent or landlord) for 13 of the 17 properties was Aubrey De Vere Beauclerk. The family names mentioned in the Tithe Applotment of 1833 for this townland are very similar if not exactly the same.

From this map it is possible to see exactly where Whigamstown is. There are other Griffiths evaluation maps with property lot numbers on them which often allow one (if one is prepared to put in the time and effort) to identify the precise location of the properties of individual families. I have done this with my "own" townland and been able to identify all the properties or locations of
families who once lived there in 1833, from the information available. This included the identification of family properties that my family either did not know about or had forgotten.
