John Gibbon (pictured above with his grandson, William F. Ogden, and his second wife, Isabella) emigrated from Scotland to Canada around 1836. He then moved to South Dakota between 1871 and 1880. His first wife died in 1842 and he married Isabella Davidson, possibly the sister of his late wife, in 1849. He probably came from Aberdeenshire as that's where the Gibbon surname is most common. Some on-line family trees link him to a John Gibbon who was a shoemaker in Aberdeenshire in the 1841 Scotland Census, but he was already in Canada by then, based on the birth of his daughter, Hanna in Ontario in 1837. He first appears in Canada in the 1842 Ontario Census.
Having 2 Scottish great-great-great-grandparents makes me 1/16th Scottish. Now I just need to know what tartan I should get my kilt in.
