Will pull what I can from the census and Cemetery records.

1850 Whiteside County, IL

Simeon Bliss 32 M Farmer NY
Mary 30 F NY
Henry 7 M NY
Katherine Gibler 39 F PA

1860 Whiteside County, IL
Newton Township

$3800-$445
Gibler, Christian 76 M PA Farmer
Ester Ann 73 F PA
Catherine 49 PA Domestic $3200-$57
Kurtz, David 29 M Gr Farmlaborer

This Catherine seems from the age to be the one in the 1850 census, now joined by her parents. I included the property estimate as it would appear that she owned significant farmland, nearly as much as her father. One wonders if the Bliss family were related, but the birthplaces don't indicate that.

A few pages away are
Gibler, Obediah 35 M OH Farmer
Pheba 33 F OH
William 10 M OH
Easter 8 F IL
Rebecca 5 F IL
John 3 F IL (the book says F, will check the images on Ancestry)
Amanda 1 F IL

The birthplaces would indicate moving to Illinois from Ohio around 8 to 10 years earlier.
Living next door is:
Gibler, Jeremiah 48 M PA Farmer
Mary 34 F OH
Amanda F OH Domestic
Isac N. 15 M OH
Christian 13 M OH
Amos 11 M IL
James 8 M IL
Disberry 6 M IL
Rhoda 4 F IL
Joseph 6m M IL
Fisk, Nelson 23 M VT Farmlaborer

This indicates a move in the 11 to 13 years earlier time, but Jeremiah did not show up in the 1850 census...they have been know to miss people...With Catherine and Jeremiah born PA, but Obediah in OH, It would appear that Christian moved from PA to OH around 1810 to 1825, and that the families moved to Illinois around 1850.

Still in 1860, and in Fenton Twp. is:

Gibler, William 50 M En Farmlaborer living in a McCline household.

With the England birthplace it does NOT look like William is related to the other Giblers.

1870 Newton Twp., Whiteside CO., IL

Gibler, Jeremiah 56 M PA Farmer
Mary 44 F OH
Isaac 24 M OH
Amos 20 M IL
James M. 17 M IL
Disbury 15 M IL
Rhoda S. 12 F IL
Joseph 10 M IL
Mary E. 7 F IL
Caroline 4 F IL

on the next page

Gibler, Obediah 45 M OH Farmer
Phoeby 42 M OH (yes it says M, another image to check!)
William 19 M OH
Esther A. 18 F IL
Priscilla 16 F IL
Rebecca 14 F IL
John 12 M IL (John is male this time!)
Mandy J. 10 F IL
Almira 8 F IL
Thomas 7 M IL
Phoeby 4 F IL
Mary 1 F IL

A few houses away, Esther Gibler was living with a Finicum family...will list some

Finicum, Davie 47 M OH Farmer
Rebecca 47 F OH
Esther A. 20 F OH
Thomas 18 M IL
Five more children
Gibler, Esther 51 F OH

This Esther does not appear earlier, but with the name Esther A. (Christian's wife's name) appearing in the Finicum family and in Obediah's I suspect there could be a relationship.

Christian and Esther A. do not appear, and in the Minta Cemetery are:
Gibler, Esther A., wife of Christian, d. Sept. 23, 1862, Age 75 yrs.
Gibler, Christian D. July 26, 1866, age 83 yrs.
There are a lot of other Gibler burials here...might be best to just copy and mail this to you.
