Book excerpt: Excerpt from John Gibson of Cambridge, Massachusetts and His Descendants, 1634-1899 It is not certain whether our Gibsons are of English on Scottish origin; England, however, is generally the ascribed birthplace of John Gibson, the pioneer of 1634 in Cambridge, Massachusetts, an ascription which, if not based upon proof, may be based upon the fact that migration from Scotland to America was not common at that date. Although several families followed James VI of Scotland (James I of England) to England in 1603, and during his long reign others settled on the confiscated lands in Province of Ulster, northern Ireland, and were the ancestors of the Scottish-Irish element, it was not until about the beginning of the 18th century that Scottish immigration into the American colonies fairly set in, either direct from the mother home or by way of Ireland where many families had taken refuge from the religious persecutions in Scotland under Charles II (1660-1685). Another significant fact is that John's children married into English families, hardly the case had he been a Scot cherishing a Scot's love of clan and native heather.
