Born circa 1843, probably the daughter of George Gibson and Martha nee "Deveney," and sister of Col John Gibson, Frances Gibson married widower Robert Callender 11 March 1766. After his death, she married James R. Reed circa 1770s. Because Mrs. Reed's name appeared in the will abstract at her son's death in 1802, it is suggested that she died sometime after 1802.
Brother John Gibson was the acting Territorial Governor of Indiana from July 4, 1800, to January 10, 1801 and from June, 1812, to May, 1813: Find A Grave Memorial# 11199.
