| Notes |
- Will dated 17 Nov. 1691, proved 24 Nov 1691, in London
The seal on his will of 1691 contains the earliest recorded use by a member of the Clyst St. George branch of the arms of Gibbs of Fenton in Dartington, viz., argent, 3 battle axes sable. It also shows for crest on an esquire's helmet, an arm embowed, in armour, holding a battle axe. These same arms and crest were placed by his first cousin George Gibbs of Pytte in Clyst St. George on the monument which he erected in 1708 to his father and grandfather, John Gibbs of Exeter, nephew of the first named George, sealed his will of 1741 with the same arms and crest, and John's son-in-law Adam Pierce impaled the same in a seal of his arms. On the arms see also Preface to the Third Edition of the Gibbs Pedigree and the opening to the earliest recorded Gibbses, i.e. John Gibbe (taxed in goods 1524).
