  1. 7.  Mary Gibbs Descendancy chart to this point (5.John2, 1.Anne1) was born in 1709 in Exeter, Devon; died on 4 Jul 1749 in Exeter, Devon.

    Notes:

    Married in the chapel of the Bishop's Palace 7 July 1734. Buried in Exeter Cathedral, Monumental Inscription there.

    Mary married Stephen Weston on 7 Jul 1734 in Exeter, Devon. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]


  2. 8.  Anne Gibbs Descendancy chart to this point (5.John2, 1.Anne1) was born on 6 May 1711; died in 1778.

    Notes:

    Will dated February 1747-8, proved same year in Principal Registry of the Bishop of Exeter.

    She is mentioned in the will of her mother's relation Margaret (born Lane and widow of Hunt), wife of Nicholas Prideaux (son of Nicholas Prideaux of Soldon, near Holsworthy, Devon). The wills of Anne and John and Anne Gregson mention her as their aunt, but Margaret Prideaux in her own will of 1698, proved 1704 (in the Principal Registry of the Bishop of Exeter), calls Isaac - the father of the first two - her cousin. It will be of interest to note the coincidence that the manor and advowson of Clyst St. George belonged to the Prideaux family from 1557 till it was sold in 1643 by Sir John Prideaux of Nutwell in the adjoining parish of Woodbury. Another coincidence to be mentioned is that in 1554 Robert Gibbes of Honington, co. Warwick, a family which like our own (the Clyst St. George) family claims relationship with Gibbs of Fenton in Dartington, married a Margaret daughter of Humphrey Prideaux of Thuborough, near Holsworthy, a relation of the Prideaux who bought the manor of Clyst St. George; see p. 15 of the Treatise by John Arthur Gibbs filed in 'Aldenham General Collections', Volume A, p. 621.
