Notes |
- Officer in the Navy, baptised at Topsham 19 June 1757. Died 1830 and buried there.
His home after marriage was in Shapter Street., Topsham, but a different house to his father's. He and his brother John and their father are described as 'mariners' in a deed of 1788 ('Aldenham Genealogical Collections, p. 165) and he and his brothers John and Thomas in the deed of 1789 referred to below under Lieutenant George Gibbs. He certainly was a trading ship-captain, but the evidence is missing on which (following the old editions) he is described in the chart as an officer in the navy. His death in 1830 ended the family connection of five generations with Topsham.
