Title
Manusrcipt about the Gibbons Family
Description
Anonymous, six-page typewritten manuscript with narratives about James Gibbons, Daniel Gibbons, and Dr. Joseph and Phebe Gibbons. Some of this material appears in Marianna Gibbons Brubaker's 1911 paper on the Underground Railroad and the Gibbons family, but comments near the end of the piece indicate that she did not write this. Marianna Brubaker, in her typewritten "Beechdale, the home of the Gibbons family... and some of the people connected with it'' collection of family information (the historical society has a copy), suggested that it was written by "a friend who lived in Bird-in-Hand and was of the generation of Joseph's children".
1. "James Gibbons Sr. and the Division of his Real Estate.''
2. "Daniel Gibbons and Constable Hughes.''
3. "Daniel Gibbons and Rebecca Evans.''
4. "Bird-in-Hand Lyceum.''
