I am trying to straighten out the Gibsons in my line.I have a Thomas Gibson married to a Rebecca Dungan (dau ofJeremiah Dungan and Mary (Hendrix?).Thomas and Rebecca were parents of Thomas Jr. who married Sarah Pearce.I have Thomas Gibson Sr. marrying Mary Polly White as second wife. Does any of this fit with your Gibson info? I descend from the Thomas Gibson Sr.'s second marriage.....is Thomas who married Dunganthe same Thomas who married White....I have no proof.Thomas Jr. who married Sarah Pearce was involved in helping Sarah's mother, Margaret Dungan Pearce, widow ofJames Pearce apply for a widow's pension (Revolutionary War participation by husband James). Margaret Dungan Pearce wassister to Rebecca Dungan, Thomas Gibson, Sr.'s first wife.
