The Gibson branch starts with Elizabeth GIBSON(1373) who married Abraham FIRTH(1372). H. Travis Clay says that the Gibson name is frequently found in connection with Southowram, and its neighbourhood. In 1524 Richard Gibson of Northowram is in the subsidy roll (taxation records), and the name is also connected with Shibden Mill and Slead Hall.
