Why did you join the Lost Colony project? I
am fascinated with the very early history, of the development of the
colonies and the people involved.
There was suppose to be a John Gibbes, assumed to be from
County Kent, England in this Lost Colony. There were very early Gibbes/Gibbs
from County Kent, England who settled in Barbados, Virginia, and the
Carolina’s and in the Massachusetts Bay Colony.
I am a 10th generation American, a descendant of an
assumed County Kent, England, immigrant Mathew Gibbs.

How is your Y-line DNA line connected to the colonists, the
surnames, Native people or the location? The “Gibbs” name has been crossed to both native people (as in
John Gibbs of Nantucket Island) and to imported African American
slaves.
The
3 sections of the website are divided into genealogy, research and
history.
Genealogy
– typically this would be the specific genealogy of the line listed
here on the site….so the mtdna for you.
I
am including a mini-genealogy form below for you to complete which
should help you to document your maternal ancestry.
Alternatively, you can upload a gedcom to either your personal
results page at Family Tree DNA or mitosearch and let us know that you
have done so.

Please provide a brief writeup (2 paragraphs to one page in
length) on your line! My “GIBBS” Surname line first
appears in the Massachusetts Bay Colony sometime between 1629 and
1638, supposedly aboard the vessel the Lions Whelp.
Mathew Gibbs, was a Planter in Charlestown, MA – and sold
these land in 1654; which is the first official record of him being in
the colony. He had to be a very early settler, because his name does
no appear between 1634-1650 for purchasing the lands, he sold.
Mathew fought in the King Philip’s War. Mathew’s last son
John Gibbs; relocated for Sudbury, MA to Hopkinton. John Gibbs first
Son Thomas, helped resettle Brookfield, MA and was awarded lands in
the Quabin Plantation (Narragansett #4).
Thomas Gibbs first son, Abraham was about 15 years old when
they started the migration from Brookfield to Quabin.
Abraham, met and married one Keziah Atwood. It was assumed that
this couple were the parents to my Great, Great, Great-grandfather
Joshua. Joshua Gibbs at 16 years old, was a patriot in the First New
Hampshire Regiment of 1776. He
was listed as one of the British prisoners released to Benedict
Arnold, on his acceptance of a Cartel for Exchange… Joshua Gibbs
married Anna, and over a 27 year period had 12 children, my Great,
great-grandfather Solomon was the last child born, in Canada in 1812.
Solomon’s journeys started as a very young child. They
relocated back into the states on account of the War or 1812, and by
1817 Joshua and Anna had finally settled in Toby township, Armstrong
Co., PA. Solomon and Rebecca (Gibson) Gibbs relocated to Wayne Co.,
Iowa. My Great-grandfather Milton Cameron Gibbs continued West,
settling in Laramie, Wyoming; which
is where I was born in Dec 1956.

Do you have a family website that includes this line?
If so, please provide the
link. No.
I have worked very hard to keep this within the family and not
out in the public where it can be copied.
Research
– this would include such items as papers you’ve written about the
family, deeds you’ve extracted, or other things relevant to your
particular line.
8.
Do you have research items to contribute?
If so, paste here or send separately. I
will consider this, if we
find a link between my Gibbs Line and the assumed John Gibbs of the Lost
Colony.
History
– this would include any general history of the area or a tribe or
something not included above.
9.
Do you have history to share?
If so, paste here or send separately.
No.
All the “history” is about events in New England and the Rev. War.
10.
Are you willing to have your e-mail address and first name listed
as a contact for your kit? If
so, what is the e-mail you want listed?
Yes
11.
Are you willing to be a coordinator or resource for any of the
Lost Colony surnames? If
so, which ones? Yes,
Gibbs.
We
are working to be sure that everyone who should be included in the Lost
Colony, is in fact included, and that folks who don’t have a potential
link to the colonists have the opportunity to join a project more suited
to their needs.
If
possible, please reply within the next week or so.
Thank
you very much,
Roberta
Estes
Lost
Colony Project Volunteer Administrator
PS
– I have periodically had problems with my e-mail.
If you send me information and do no hear from me, please resend
or try my alternate address at [email protected].
