Joseph Gibson lived in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. After the death of his wife, he wrote to his sister and brother-in-law in England, Alice and John Gindall, asking if they would send their daughter Sarah to care for him. Though they refused on the grounds of her young age, Gibson wrote again with the same request in 1754 to Sarah's husband, John Barker, insisting that he would make her his heir if she accepted. Sarah agreed and migrated to New England in 1755 with her son from her first marriage, William Hall, leaving behind her husband and a daughter, Alice. Gibson died sometime after 1770.
