Jeremiah Gibbs has been a brick wall for years yet we do have land records of sale and a few census reports. We also have his children’s lineage and know we connect to Giles Gibbs through the Gibbs Dna Project. Historically see Abercorn Memorial his name. Need help with parental lineage or maybe a project that can help manage his profile. Any help is appreciated in trying to connect him to the wikitree family. Thank you

Jeremiah Gibbs WikiTree profile shows his marriage to Deborah Covey in 1807, however, that profile shows firstborn son Samuel Elmer born in 1803 and firstborn daughter, Susannah born in 1805.

Looked for but did not find his parents.
