NOTE:
Ord work has been done several times.
Verified and Corrected FGS in 1980.
Endhouse record identifies birth place as Redditch, Worcester, England while the Logan Temple Record identifies
Tuckingham, Worcester. (Tuckingham is not listed in Smith's Genealogical Gazetter of England.or "The Phillimore
ATLAS and INDEX of Parish Register")
Family researcher LaPriel Roberts made a note that Richard Gibbs, born 7 Jun1825 at Astwood Band, Feckenham
Parrish, Worcester. This was verified by a letter to Frances from Richards brother, Mark Anthony,
AF lists two spouses: Frances Gilson and Susannah Esther Singleton.
Richard was married in South Africa to Frances Gilson. They had a son, Heber, and immigrated to Zion. When they
arrived in Salt Lake Richard died of mountain fever.
Esther Susannah Singleton was the half sister of John Stock. She joined the Church in South Africa and immigrated to
Zion in 1857 just in time to join the Hunt wagon train associated with the Willie-Martin handcart companies. She died
and was buried at Fort Bridger. When John Stock immigrated to Zion he did not find Susannah. On learning that she had died he later had her sealed to Richard Gibbs. Both were dead when this happened,but, apparently this series of events has confused descendant members of the family who have them married in South Africa in 1838 which is in error.
**SEALING DATE PROBLEM.
FGS in family file show two other dates for sealing: 22 Dec 1860; 22 Sep 1887. (Feb 1995)-another sealing date from a form submitted for Temple work, 2 Apr 1938, by Susannah N. Stock- in red marking- 7 Dec 1861 with proxy John Stock in End. House. Sealings have been redone in several other temples.
