I believe that my ancestors who came in 1833 to Kortright had been contacted
in County Down by a representative of the Kortrights, who were looking for
settlers. My grgrgrandparents, William and Isabella Gibson, arrived with
seven sons and two daughters-in-law. They later had another son. Strangely
enough, I haven't found any Gibson descendants with the surname still in the
area.
