We have documentation that Elizabeth's father, William Gibson died in Bedford County, Virginia in 1792. We have a copy of his will in which he names his childen: Nancy, John, Patty, Elizabeth, Polly, Sally, and William.

His wife was named Mary. His will began, " Being weak and low in body". His land was to be sold and "land bought" where his wife would choose to live. At her decease the land would go to William, his son.
