Jonathan Catlett Gibson was born perhaps in Fauquier Co, Virginia, ca. 1761 [date estimated in order to accommodate his being a Rev. War veteran] He was probably the first of many generations of Jonathan Gibsons to actually have had the middle name Catlett. His wife is said to have been ___ Mallory. [per Alice E. Trabue in “The Gibson Family,” pp. 71-77, Virginia Historical Magazine (Jan. 1, 1920). Ms. Trabue’s source was his grand-daughter Lucy (Gibson) Buckner (1827-1920)]
The 1773 will of his grandfather Thomas Harrison 2nd named among his heirs grandson Jonathan Catlett Gibson; he was also an heir named in the 1788 will of his father. [both wills abstracted in John K. Gott, Abstracts of Fauquier County, Virginia Wills Inventories and Accounts 1759-1800, 1976, Harrison’s on pp. 55-58 and Gibson’s on p. 204]
Also according to Lucy Buckner, he was a captain in the Revolutionary War, enlisted in Orange Co., Virginia. He was probably the Orange County taxpayer of 1782, whose household that year had five whites and, among his property, were eight blacks. [Appendix B of A History of Orange County by Scott]. His presumed enlistment in Orange County and being the taxpayer there tend to indicate his residence in that county, at least in the early years of his adult life. He died 1809 or later. [estimate based on the approximate birth date of his youngest daughter]
His offspring [per Ms. Trahue, citing Lucy Buckner were: John, Jonathan Catlett Gibson 2nd (War of 1812), Thomas, Edwin, William, Frances, Nancy, Susan and Betsy.
