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?
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"
