The only death record I could find was this; "Massachusetts Deaths and Burials, 1795-1910", database, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:FH1V-859 : 14 February 2020), Mathew Gibbs, 1731. (Not 1732). Can't find a birth record in Familysearch.

Also he has a child listed Elizabeth Gibbs whose birth record says her mother was Sarah. Is he missing a wife or she incorrectly attached?

Kim,

Matthew III, was married to Sarah Page. Matthew II, was too old to father that Elizabeth! DG

Gloria, Sorry! The information is correct and has been verified by a professional researcher with the New England Historic & Genealogical Society. Michael LeClerc writes "2. Matthew2 Gibbs (Mathew1) married 12 Nov 1678 at Sudbury Mary Moore.*3 She must have died shortly after their marriage as he married second her sister Elizabeth Moore and the first child of his second marriage was born 2 MAR 1680.*4 There are no known children of his first marriage"
