A true matriarch of the Gibbs family - Anne Barnett Gibbs
Anne Barnett Johnson Gibbs 1740–1831
Birth 30 NOV 1740 • Orange County, Virginia Colony, Death 23 MAY 1831 • Union, Union, South Carolina, US
Wife of Col James Gibbs (see Blog HERE), mother of Hiram Gibbs.
She was my fourth great grandmother on my father George Rogers' tree.
I'm re-posting this before her birthday of Nov.30.
When Anne Barnett was born on November 30, 1740, in Orange, Virginia, her mother, Marran Frances Gibbs Barnett, was age 36, and her father John Barnett was age 35. Her father passed away on May 15, 1750, in Orange, Virginia, at the age of 45, when Anne was just 9 years old. Her mother lived until she was 78, dying when Anne was 42 (but Anne herself lived to be 90.)
Anne Barnett married William Johnson in Orange, Virginia, on February 10, 1770, when she was 29 years old. Her husband William Johnson passed away in 1770 at the age of 68. There are several other William Johnsons who also died in 1770, but had different wives. So far, I've found no probate records for this William Johnson.
Anne Barnett Johnson Gibbs married Col. James Gibbs in Orange, Virginia, on July 8, 1771, when she was 30 years old and he was 31. I haven't checked to see how they might have already been second cousins, because her mother was a Gibbs. There were many Barnetts and Gibbs who married, so I'd say at best guess that she and Col. James Gibbs were second cousins, maybe in two ways...they had a lot of great grandparents in common!
They had six to nine children together, (some of whom died early) though it's possible her first daughter, Agatha Gibbs White, was fathered by Johnson since she may have been born before the marriage to James Gibbs...Agatha's birth date is unknown. But Gibbs might well have adopted her since Anne was a young widow, (without papers and lawyers.)
Her husband Col. James Gibbs died on August 7, 1794, in South Carolina at the age of 54, having fought in the American Revolutionary War. They had been married 23 years. She died on May 23, 1831, in Union, South Carolina, at the impressive age of 90.
Their graves are in The Gibbs Cemetery, Union County South Carolina.
Their son, Hiram Gibbs, my ancestor, emigrated to Miss.His children went further west to Louisiana and Texas, and several of them married into my Rogers family tree.
Some information on Anne's Husband, Col. James Gibbs, from the DAR (Daughters of the American Revolution).James married Anne "Ann' Johnson Barnett, on July 8, 1771, in Orange Co VA...
They are buried in their old family garden, at the Gibbs Cemetery. Today, this place is known as the "C. T. S. Wilburn home place", Mrs Wilburn was the Gr-Gr Grand daughter of James Gibbs.
James & Ann had 9 known children:
Zachariah, John, Ambrose, James, Hiram, Agatha, Susan, Mary and Anna. Some are buried at the Gibbs Cemetery.
He was the son of John Gibbs Esq. of Middlesex Co VA, and Susanne Phillipe. It has been said, that his father died in 1770 in Charleston SC, his mother died in Spartanburg Co SC about 1786.
James moved from VA to NC and SC, they arrived in Union Co SC, then Old 96th district, before the Revolutionary War, building their first home near the Lower Fairforest Baptist Church. His father had recieved a land grant of 500 acres on Fairforest Creek in 1768. James received a grant of 640 acres on the Fairforest in 1772.
James left a will SPT Book 1, p.34, book 2, p.43 and book C, p.251. He left his son Zachariah as administrator, and names his living children in the Will.
