16 February 1624 Francis Gibson is listed
among the living on February 16, 1623/24 at James Cittye,

"Thomas" -- having not seen the original is it possible this is Thomas
Gibson who came with Christopher Newport in 1608, or perhaps his wife,
Francis?

In the Lightfoot cemetery at
Sandy Point, Charles City County is buried; Thomas Gibson, Gibby Gibson and
Francis Gibson. It seems likely this Gibby Gibson is son of Thomas and the
Godson of Edmund Howell and the same Gibson Gibson, son of Elizabeth
Chavis. Many researchers have listed Elizabeth as the daughter of Thomas
Chavis/Shavers but it seems more likely she may have married as a widow to
William Chavis, son of Thomas Chavis/Shavers.[jp]

some years past by the s'd Gilbert's Father, John Gibson, deceased, as also some
part by himself and notwithstanding the illegal Acquisition of the land, the

24th July
1768, A Petition, of William White, was presented to the house, and Read
in the words following (viz) That on the 24th day of July 1768, your Petitioner
was summoned by George Thompson, Sergeant of the Company of Militia, to which
your Petitioner belongs, to assist him, who was also a Constable, in serving a
warrant of Robert Weaver Esquire for relieving Joseph Holland, Lieutenant of the
said Company of Militia, who was taken and forceable confined by a number of
disorderly People. That he being ready and desirous to shew his affection for
the Laws and Liberties of his Country, did meet at the place appointed by the
said Sergeant, and did on the next day, march under his Command towards the
house where Mr. Holland was confined, near which they were met by a great number
of People of different Colors (viz) Whites, Blacks and Mulattoes, who formed two
Lines, into which as soon as the Constable and four men had entered, the rioters
immediately surrounded, and knocked them down.
That when this was done, one of the chief
of the Rioters, Gideon Gibson, called shoot down Billey White, for I have got
Reubin, and if you kill Billey we will manage the rest easy enough. Your
Petitioner finding several armed Men surrounding him, drew his Cutlass, desired
them to keep off, and endeavoured to defend himself, but was soon knocked down.
That by his Fathers help (James Taylor White - EC), he got up, and tried to get
his Father away, but in a very little time, the latter being again knocked down,
he turned to his assistance, when several Guns were discharged at your
Petitioner, a Ball from one of which passed thro the skin of his Hip, and a
second entered the Bone of his right arm, about five Inches above the Elbow, and
going along the said Bone, came out a little below his Elbow, totally shattered
and destroyed the bone of his said arm. That your petitioner finding himself
thus disabled, either to help his Father or himself, endeavoured to make his
Escape, but after running a little way, fainted and fell; after some time
recovering, he found several of the Rioters about him one of which said shot him
thro' the Head at once; but another replied, no Damn him he can't live long, let
him feel himself Die.
That they carried him into the house,
and threw him on the Floor, where he lay weltering in his own blood; when after
having whipped his brother and others of the Party whom they had taken, they
permitted your Petitioners Brother to take him away. That your Petitioner by
this Melancholy accident, hath not only lost the use of his right arm, but finds
his Constitution greatly weakened and impaired by the great quantity of Blood
which he lost. That your Petitioner is by Trade a Cooper, and did usually earn
thirty shillings per day, by working at the Trade, by which he was enabled to
support his large Family, consisting of his wife and eight young Children,
besides three poor Orphans, Relatives of his wife, who have not any other Person
to take care of them. But that by loss of his arm, he is not only totally
disabled from working at his Trade, but also in a very great measure to do
anything in the Planting business. Your Petitioner therefore humbly Prays your
Honors to take his Malancholy case into Consideration, and to grant him the
Annuity allowed by the Militia Act, to such as are maimed and disabled in the
Public Service,

Capt. John Utie, Esq. arrived
at Hogg Island Virginia in 1619, about 7 miles from Jamestown. In 1623 John
Utie, Ensign, was living with his wife and son John at Hogg Island. In 1628 he
received a land grant at Archers Hope. In 1629 he was a Burgess for the area
between Archers Hope and Martin's hundred. Governor Harvey added him to the
Council. In 1630 a resolution of the Council said he and John West, (brother of
Lord Delaware West), had "seated" the first settlement on the York River and
gave each 600 acres.
