Lyons, Mich. 188_ ]



"Jemima Gibbs was born Nov 9th 1794 in Warwick County district Montreal in
Lower Canada, in the township called Dunn's Pattent. The nearest place of
business in Canada Slab City, nearest place in Vermont, Dunham. When quite
young her parents moved to Penny Scenery fifty miles north of Montreal,
then back to Dunn's Pattent for a short time, from there to Montpelier
Vermont, then to Williston Vt, then to Groveland Ontario County N. York
near Mt Morris. From there they moved to Toby Township, Armstrong County,
Penn, where she was married March 18th 1818 to Stephen Peck from Grafton,
N. H."

I believe that Jemima Gibbs and Stephen Peck are the same couple mentioned
in Mrs. Gertrude Van Resselaer Wickham, ed., Memorial to the Pioneer Women
of the Western Reserve (Cleveland, Ohio: 1896), in the section concerning
pioneers of the township of Bedford: "Jemima GIBBS, a sister of Mrs.
TURNER, married Stephen PECK, and used to assist him in finishing the
coffins that he had made."

I have other documents to give to any direct descendant of this couple.
