John married Mary Eliza Porter.

John died from typhoid on 23 March 1861 at Rosby, Marshall County, Virginia.¹ Alternatively, his death as recorded on his gravestone was one day earlier on the 22nd.³ He was interred in the Oak Grove United Methodist Church Cemetery, Fork Ridge Road, Moundsville, Marshall County, West Virginia; his name appears on the gravestone as "John L. Gibson." The inscription reads, "Died Mar. 22, 1861."^4,3

Birth date: about 22 October 1814 (Calculated date based on the reported transcription from her gravestone that her age at death was 51 years 3 days.)³ It has also been reported that Mary was born about 1813.⁴ As a further complication, another source reported that Mary was born about 1808: her age was recorded as 59 in the Death Register, which would calculate to a birth year circa 1808. However, that year is not supported by any of the census records that I have found, so I suspect that her age at death was simply recorded incorrectly.⁵
Birth place: Maryland.⁴

Commonly known by her middle name, Eliza.⁵

Mary married John L. Gibson.

Eliza died from heart disease on 25 October 1865 in Clay District, Marshall County, Virginia. The informant was Miles Bonar.⁵ Eliza's body was interred in the Oak Grove United Methodist Church Cemetery, Fork Ridge Road, Moundsville, Marshall County, West Virginia; her name appears on the gravestone as "Mary E. Gibson." The inscription reportedly reads, "Aged 51 Yrs. 3 Ds." Note, however, that the transcriber stated that the stone was hard to read.^6,3
