(Gibson Coat of Arms: Three stork's wings expanded argent CrestOut of a coronet, a lion's gamb holding an arrow gules, feathered ox. Although Gibson is believed to be of Scotish origin, the surname Gibson appears in many old English records, dating back to 1379. The moto accompanying the coat of arms well befits those who bear the name, Gibson, "Courage, Charity, and Virtue".)
The GIBSON surname ranks 116 for the most common name in the United States.
I have added a link to "Gibson Photographs" page. This is a new project of mine. It will be a collection of Gibson photographs of my family.
