  Gibbens-Butcher Genealogy (1894): "It cannot be said that the stock, as it exists on American soil, came over in the Mayflower, nor among those who landed at royal Jamestown, nor in the Spanish Colonies, to the South, nor from the sunny clime of imperial France, but nevertheless the family reached this Continent from Trans-Atlantic soil. The first trace our limited research discovers is the arrival of two brothers of Irish descent. One, Benjamin, had wedded an English lady of the Dent family, and located, before the close of the Indian wars, upon the South Branch of the Potomac rivers, in Hardy county, Virginia, and there were born of this union two sons, James and John. How many, if any other children, is not known.
  
  "...The name of the father of Benjamin Gibbens is conjectured to be either Thomas or William."
