Surname Saturday -- GIBSON (England to colonial Massachusetts)

It's Surname Saturday, and I'm "counting down" my Ancestral Name List each week.  


I am working in the 9th great-grandmothers by Ahnentafel number, and I am up to Ancestor #2115 who is Mary GIBSON (1622-1658). 
[Note: the earlier great-grandmothers and 9th great-grandfathers have been covered in earlier posts.]

My ancestral line back through two generations in this GIBSON family line is:


1. Randall J. Seaver

2. Frederick Walton Seaver (1911-1983)
3. Betty Virginia Carringer (1919-2002)

4. Frederick Walton Seaver (1876-1942)
5. Alma Bessie Richmond (1882-1962)

8. Frank Walton Seaver (1852-1922)
9. Hattie Louise Hildreth (1857-1920)

16. Isaac Seaver (1823-1901)
17. Lucretia Townsend Smith (1827-1884)

32. Benjamin Seaver (1791-1825)
33. Abigail Gates (1797-1869)

66.  Nathan Gates (1767-1830)

67.  Abigail Knowlton (1774-1855)

132.  Simon Gates (1739-1803)
133.  Susanna Reed (1745-1833)

264.  Amos Gates (1706-1783)
265.  Mary Hubbard (1712-1754)

528.  Simon Gates (1667-1752)
529.  Hannah Benjamin (1669-1754)

1056.  Stephen Gates (1634-1707)
1057.  Sarah Woodward (1643-1706)


2114.  George Woodward, born about 1619 in Ipswich, Suffolk, England; died 31 May 1676 in Watertown, Middlesex, Massachusetts, United States.  He was the son of 4228. Richard Woodward and 4229. Rose Stewart.  He married before 1641 in probably Watertown, Middlesex, Massachusetts, United States.
2115.  Mary Gibson, born about 1622 in Suffolk, England; died 17 August 1658 in Watertown, Middlesex, Massachusetts, United States.

Children of George Woodward and Mary Gibson are:

*  Mary Woodward (1641-1718), married 1664 John Waite (1639-1691).
*  Sarah Woodward (1643-1706), married 1664 Stephen Gates (1634-1707)
*  Amos Woodward (1644-1679), married 1666 Sarah Patten (1645-1677).
*  Rebecca Woodward (1647-1727), married 1666 Thomas Fisher (1636-1707).
*  John Woodward (1649-1732), married (1) 1673 (1649-1696); (2) 1686 Sarah Bancroft (1652-1723).
*  Susanna Woodward (1651-1676).
*  Daniel Woodward (1653-1713), married 1679 Elizabeth Dana (1662-1702).
*  Mary Woodward (1656-1713), married 1676 George Barstow (1652-1726).

4230.  Joseph Gibson, born about 1595 in Suffolk, England.

Child of Joseph Gibson is:

Mary Gibson (1622-1658), married 1641 George Woodward (1619-1676).

I can find no published book or periodical article that discusses Joseph Gibson.  There was a John Gibson (1601-1688) who married Rebecca --?-- in 1634 and settled in Cambridge.  There is a published book for the descendants of John Gibson.  , but a relationship between Joseph and John is not known, even though they are contemporaries.  

I have done no original research on this Gibson line.
