  Notes	Monumental Inscription in the church at Clyst St. George. Will dated 6 March 1682-3 proved 1 August 1683 in Devon. Rated for a moiety of Court in Clyst St. George in 1650. Among the title deeds of William Carnegie Barnes there is (1930) one of 1 October 1633 in which this George is described as 'George Gibbe of Pitt yeoman brother of John son of John Gibbs of Pitt'. And one of 20 April 1634 in which he is 'George Gibbes brother and heir of John Gibbe deceased late son of John Gibbe of Pitt yeoman'. In this last deed Philip, son of the last named John, is mentioned also. George was also 'party to deeds of 1666-7 concerning Pytt' (Gibbs Pedigree, 1904). He was assessed in 1650 to church rate for a moiety of Court Farm in Clyst St. George, fo which the other moiety had been held by William Gibbe of Claypitt, and after him by his nephew John Baker which facts Lord Hunsdon regarded as indicating that this George and William had a common ancestor and thereafter as evidence that George of Claypitt and John of Pytte were related; see 'Gibbs of Fenton', pp. 56 and 156. Court or Court Place, now Courtbrook, likes about half a mile northward of the church. George's great-grandson George Abraham Gibbs owned (by purchase) the whole of Court. George was a Collector of the Poor, 1646; an 'Overseer', 1660 and 1671 (Clyst St. George 'Booke of Accomptes' - copied in Aldenham General Collections', Volume A, 397 in which also is the assessment of 1650 referred to above); Churchwarden, 1652-1659 (Clyst St. George Registers). His will mentions brother Robert, sons George, Abraham, Samuel, daughters Elizabeth Brinley and Sarah Goldsworthy, and sons of the latter (Henry and James). The Memorial Inscription to him and his wife, and their children Samuel and Anstice, is on the floor of the North aisle of the church.
