Father*Michael Gibney1 d. Mar 1804
Mother*Anne Gerrard1 d. 6 May 1818
Birth*William Gibney M.D. was born in Dormstown Castle, Dormstown, County Meath, Ireland.1 
(Eldest Son) Will13 December 1817William's mother made her will dated 13 December 1817 naming her deceased husband Michael, their children, William, Mary Anne, Frances Eliza, Eliza and James, and her husband's trustees Thomas Hinds and Michael's brother John Gibney. A transcription of Anne's will read:

"In the name of God Amen! I Anne Gibney, widow of Michael Gibney, late of Dormstown in the County of Meath do make this my last will and testament. Whereas by a certain deed of settlement hearing date the fourth day of July, one thousand seven hundred and ninety-four my said beloved husband did agree to invest the sum of three thousand pounds, part of my fortune therein mentioned in Thomas Hinds and John Gibney, therein mentioned, and the survivor of them, his heirs, executors, administrators and assigns to, for and upon such uses, trusts, and purposes as therein mentioned. And by said deed, it is agreed that in case the said Michael should die in my life time, leaving more than one child living of our marriage, that it should be lawful for me to devise said three thousand pounds or the rents, interest or produce thereof to and among such children, in such shares as I should appoint and for want of such appointment to be equally divided among such children. And whereas the said Michael Gibney disposed of said sum of three thousand pounds to such uses as he thought proper, without handing over the same to the said trustees, or either of them. And in order, as far as in him lay, to secure the said sum of three thousand pounds pursuant to the intent of said recited settlement, did by deed, dated the eighth of October, eighteen hundred and three, assign all his interest in and to the lands and premises therein mentioned to said Thomas Hinds and John Gibney, and the survivor of them, his executors, administrators and assigns, for the terms of lives and years by the leases thereof, granted to, and for the uses and purposes therein particularly mentioned. And whereas the said Michael Gibney is since dead, having made and published his last will and testament (all in his own handwriting) and after mentioning therein, that he had not handed over said three thousand pounds to the before named trustees. He after desiring his lawful debts to be paid, devised to me all his freehold and leasehold interests, as also all his personal property, to be disposed of, to and among myself and children as therein mentioned but by said will made no specific appointment of said three thousand pounds.

Now, I therefore, in case of the property so left, and devised shall extend thereto, give and devise onto my eldest son William Gibney M.D. twenty pounds, to purchase some trifle to remind him of me. It is not from want of the greatest affection for him, he ever and always deserved my warmest love and approbation, but he knows, and approves of the disposal of my property amongst the rest of my children. I give and bequest to my beloved Mary Anne Gibney five hundred pounds there out and to my beloved Francis Eliza Gibney, five hundred pounds thereout. And to my beloved Eliza Gibney, five hundred pounds thereout. And to my beloved son James Gibney, three hundred pounds thereout. But, if before I die, he the said James Gibney, should procure (thro: the interest of his Uncle Gibney or other relatives) a permanent situation so as to enable him to do without it, I devise him (like his brother William) to give up all right to what I leave him to his three sisters, Maryanne, Francis Eliza and Eliza Gibney, said respective legacies to be paid my sons and daughters, upon their attaining the age of twenty one years, or days of marriage, which shall first happen, And it is my will and desire that in case the property, wherein of my said husband has died possessed of, shall not extend to the entire sum of three thousand pounds, the share, or proportion of each of my said children, shall bear a proportion of such diminution, thereof as may happen. And it is also my will that in case any of my children shall die before attaining his, her or their respective ages, as aforesaid, or being married, then the share of his, her or them so dying shall go and be divided amongst such survivors and share alike and I do hereby constitute my said three daughters Maryanne, Frances Eliza and Eliza Gibney or the survivors of them as the case may be, residuary legates of all such worldly substance as I shall possessed of. And I do also nominate my brother-in-law John Gibney Esq. M.D. and my son William Gibney Esq. M.D. Executors of this my will. In (page part torn off) witness whereof I set my hand and seal this thirteenth day of December one thousand eight hundred and seventeen."

Her will was signed and sealed by Anne Gibney; and her sister Catherine (Gerrard) Small, her sister's husband John Small, and J. Byrne all signed and sealed as witnesses.1 
(Eldest Son) Deed Memorial4 May 1818William was a witness to a memorial of an indented deed of lease dated 4 May 1818 made between his mother Anne Gibney of Paradise Row, Dublin, widow of the one part and Richard Gore of............. in the county of Kings (now County Offaly) Esq. of the other part.

Whereby the said Anne Gibney for the considerations therein mentioned, devised, granted and set unto the said Richard Gore all that and those the lot of ground situate in the northeast side of Paradise Row in the Lordship of St. Mary’s Abbey in the county of the city of Dublin with the dwelling house built thereon by one James McDermott containing in breadth in the front to said Row 16 feet one inch and a half, in breadth in the rear 21 feet 2 inches and in depth from front to rear 124 feet, be the same more or less, bounded on the southwest by Paradise Row aforesaid, on the northeast by a pasture and stable lane, on the northwest by a house and garden now or lately belonging to Daniel Ryan, and on the southeast by ground belonging to the Right Honorable John Viscount Mountjoy.

To hold said devised premises with the appurtenances to the said Richard Gore, his executors, administrators and assigns from the first day of May just past for and during the term and space of 992 years, from thence forth fully to be completed and ended subject to the rent of £30 sterling payable as therein mentioned, which said deed of lease contains the usual covenants between landlord and tenant.

The deed and memorial were signed by Anne Gibney and witnessed by Samuel P. Barrett of the city of Dublin, attorney-at-law, and William Gibney M.D. of said city, gentleman, eldest son of the said Anne Gibney. It was registered on 5 May 1818 between the hours of one and two o'clock.2,3,4

Christian Gierhart1

b. 15 January 1808, d. 17 February 1870
Birth*15 January 1808Christian Gierhart was born on 15 January 1808 in Maryland.1 
Marriage*He married Mary Polly Strong.2,1 
Census US 1850*23 September 1850Polly and Christian Gierhart were enumerated on the 1850 census taken on 23 September 1850 in Milton, DuPage County, Illinois. Christian was 40 years of age and a farmer with real estate valued at $200, and Polly was 37 years of age. Their six children were enumerated with them in 1850. Alfred was 18 years old, worked as a laborer on the family farm, and had attended school within the census year; Susan and Olive were ages 15 and 14 years, respectively, and had attended school within the census year; and John W., Mary Jane and Laura were ages 10, 8, and 6 years, respectively. Also enumerated with the family in 1850 was David Crumb, who was 30 years of age, had been born in Ireland, and worked as a laborer on the farm.3 
(Father) Research Notes The name Robertson has been found, both as a surname and as a given name, in our research of Susan Gierhart and Henry S. Godfrey. In an early transcription of Susan's name in the record of the couple's 1853 marriage, and then subsequently recopied in other indexes of that marriage, she was identified as Susan Robertson. Her parents were not named, and we don't know if Robertson had meaning or was an error in transcription. Had she been married before to a husband with the surname Robertson? She was 17 years old when she married Henry Godfrey, so an earlier marriage, while not impossible, seems unlikely. Our research, through census and Find a Grave records, indicates her maiden surname was Gierhart, and that her parents were Christian Gierhart and Mary Polly Strong, and when her daughter, Emma, married in 1878, Emma's parents' names were reported as Henry S. Godfrey and Susan Gierhart. Then, when Susan and Henry's son, Charles, married, also in 1878, his marriage record identified his father's name as Robertson Godfrey. It was actually Henry Sheldon Godfrey, so therein lies our dilemma. Two marriage records, 25 years apart, and both including the name Robertson, which may be a clue to something significant. We don't believe in coincidences, and wonder if somewhere, in the Gierhart or Godfrey family, or an earlier marriage, there is a Robertson. We'd very much like to know, and would appreciate hearing from anyone who is able to help us resolve our Robertson conundrum.4,5,6,3,7,2,1 
Census US 1860*23 June 1860Mary and Christian Gierhart were enumerated on the 1860 census taken on 23 June 1860 in Toulon, Stark County, Illinois. Christian was 51 years of age and a farmer with real estate valued at $3,200 and a personal estate valued at $300, and Mary was 47 years of age. Two of their children were enumerated with them in 1860. John was 18 years old, and their second Laura, who had been given her deceased sister's name, was 2 years old. The couple's eldest son, Alfred Gierhart, was enumerated with his wife and children in the next household on the same census page.8 
(Husband) Death1868Christian became a widower when Polly (Strong) Gierhart died in 1868 at about age 55.2 
Death*17 February 1870He died of an abscess of the liver on 17 February 1870 in Toulon, Stark County, Illinois, at age 621,9 
Burial* and was buried with his wife in Plot C-425 of Toulon Cemetery, Toulon.1,2

Susan Gierhart1

b. 1836, d. 1877
Father*Christian Gierhart2,3 b. 15 Jan 1808, d. 17 Feb 1870
Mother*Mary Polly Strong2,4 b. 1813, d. 1868
Birth*1836Susan Gierhart was born about 1836 in Ohio.2,5 
(Daughter) Census US 185023 September 1850Susan was enumerated on the 1850 census taken on 23 September 1850 in the household of her parents in Milton, DuPage County, Illinois. She was 15 years old and had attended school within the census year.5 
Marriage*13 February 1853 Two months after the death of his first wife, she married, as his second wife, Henry S. Godfrey, son of Thomas Godfrey Jr. and Mary Young, on 13 February 1853 in Stark County, Illinois. They were married by A. Grose, a Minister of the Gospel, and we note that Susan's surname was transcribed as Robertson.1,6 
Research Notes* The name Robertson has been found, both as a surname and as a given name, in our research of Susan Gierhart and Henry S. Godfrey. In an early transcription of Susan's name in the record of the couple's 1853 marriage, and then subsequently recopied in other indexes of that marriage, she was identified as Susan Robertson. Her parents were not named, and we don't know if Robertson had meaning or was an error in transcription. Had she been married before to a husband with the surname Robertson? She was 17 years old when she married Henry Godfrey, so an earlier marriage, while not impossible, seems unlikely. Our research, through census and Find a Grave records, indicates her maiden surname was Gierhart, and that her parents were Christian Gierhart and Mary Polly Strong, and when her daughter, Emma, married in 1878, Emma's parents' names were reported as Henry S. Godfrey and Susan Gierhart. Then, when Susan and Henry's son, Charles, married, also in 1878, his marriage record identified his father's name as Robertson Godfrey. It was actually Henry Sheldon Godfrey, so therein lies our dilemma. Two marriage records, 25 years apart, and both including the name Robertson, which may be a clue to something significant. We don't believe in coincidences, and wonder if somewhere, in the Gierhart or Godfrey family, or an earlier marriage, there is a Robertson. We'd very much like to know, and would appreciate hearing from anyone who is able to help us resolve our Robertson conundrum.6,7,8,5,2,4,3 
Census US 1860*13 June 1860Susan and Henry S. Godfrey were enumerated on the 1860 census taken on 13 June 1860 in Goshen, Stark County, Illinois. Henry was 39 years of age and a farmer with real estate valued at $2,000 and a personal estate valued at $175, and Susan was 26 years of age. Six children were enumerated with them in 1860. Matthew T., Permelia and Charles W., from Henry's first marriage, were ages 18, 14 and 8 years, respectively; and Susan C. and Josephine, from the couple's marriage were ages 5 and 3 years, respectively; and their baby, Emma, was five months old. Permelia, Charles and Susan had all attended school within the census year. Henry's youngest daughter from his first marriage, Armina, was enumerated in 1860 in the household of a widow, Elizabeth (Treakle) Wright, in Toulon, Stark County, Illinois. Armina was 7 years old and had attended school within the census year, and we don't know why she was living away from her family.9 
Census US 1870*9 July 1870Susan and Henry S. Godfrey were enumerated on the 1870 census taken on 9 July 1870 in Toulon, Stark County, Illinois. Henry was 49 years of age and a teamster with real estate valued at $900 and a personal estate valued at $500, and Susan was 36 years of age and keeping house. Five children were enumerated with them in 1870. Charles, Henry's son from his first marriage, was 18 years old and worked as a farm hand; Susan C., Josephine, Emma and Joseph F., all children from the couple's marriage, were ages 15, 12, 10 and 7 years, respectively, and all had attended school within the census year. In 1870, one census page before Henry and Susan, Henry's youngest daughter from his first marriage, Armina Godfrey, was enumerated in the household of her grandmother, Mary (Young) Godfrey, Henry's mother. Armina, who was enumerated as Minnie, was 17 years old and working as a school teacher.10 
Death*1877She died in 1877 in Stark County, Illinois, at about age 412 
Burial* and was buried in Toulon Cemetery, Toulon, Stark County.2
