I recently purchased a book "THE STORY OF THE GIBBS...From One Generation to Another or Family Album"
This book was written by Lettice Milne Rae. It was privately printed by T. & A. Constable LTD., Hopetoun Street, Edinburgh in 1961.
This book is about the GIBB/GIB family, not GIBBS as I had thought when I purchased it online. If anyone is interested in information from this book please let me know.
It begins with THE GIBS OF CARRIBER 1428-1613,
which were the GIBS in Scotland, chiefly in the counties of Ayr, Dumfries, Fife, Linlithgow, and Lanark before the sixteenth century. Later on, some Gibbs went to London.
In the back of the book is a family tree beginning with William Gibb(1736-1791) who married Alison Gilbreath Nov. 27, 1760.
Other Gibb(s) in this book include William's son John Gibb(1776-1850), John's son Aleander Gibb (1804-1867) and Alexander's son Easton Gibb (1841-1916). There are pictures also of these four Gibb men. I wish that they WERE my ancestors because of the vast amount of information, but maybe I can help someone else.
