William Gibbons was the 9th of 11 children of Thomas Gibbons Sr (III) and Anne Eppes, born in Albemarle Parrish, Surry County, Virginia; his birth was listed in the parish register. He married Agatha Smith 27 Aug 1806 in Rogersville, Hawkins County. William served in the War of 1812 in Capt. James Cummings militia, for which he received 2 bounty land grants. He also purchased 60 acres of land from William Hord in Hawkins County on Big Creek (near his parents) in August 1814.
