m. Isabel McLaughlin 16 Mar 1780[2] at Litchfield, Hillsborough, New Hampshire,

Marriage Note: JAMES GIBSON NH/ME m Isabell McGlothlin 16 Mar 1780 by Rev. Sam'l Cotton, Litchfield NH town ... Deer Isle ME, attest Jane Borbour who stated widow's name was Isabel McLaughlin.

An Historical Sketch of the Town of Deer Isle, Maine:[3]
JAMES GIBSON was another Revolutionary soldier who came here from Massachusetts prior to the year 1800. It seems probable that he might at one time have occupied an island north of, and near, Stinson's Neck, which is still known as Gibson's Island, but he resided for some time on this island, where he died many years ago ; but a very few now know anything about him. He had two sons, Samuel andJames, who died at sea when young men. Two of the daughters married here; one, the wife of Mr. John Barbour ; the other, the wife of Captain Nathaniel Bray, Jr. and the mother of the present Captain James G. Bray. Mr. Gibson was engaged in the battle of Bunker Hill, and before they came here they resided not far from Newburyport. I perfectly recollect his widow, who was blind for many years. She once informed me that when General Washington was on his tour North, he and his escort passed them while going from Newburyport to Portsmouth. He was recognized by Mr. Gibson, who had served under him and who spoke to, and saluted, him. The salute was returned and the General, finding that he was one of his soldiers, stopped his company, shook hands, and conversed with him, seeming pleased to have found one of his fellow-soldiers. She said that General Washington was one of the most noble appearing men she ever happened to see.
