Another GIBBS researcher shared with me a story about WASHINGTON GIBBS who settled in the MATTAMUSKEET area of Hyde County, NORTH CAROLINA.It seems that Washington Gibbs along with two other gentlemen were given land grants from the king of England.I was given no dates but it would have probably been 1600s-1700s...
Washington Gibbs settled in the DARK WOODS area of Mattamuskeet and Mr. PETTIGREW settled on LAKE PHELPS.
No idea who the third gentleman was....
Would like more on this story if it is true!
