- --- "The Gentleman's Magazine" Vol. 82, 1797, page1108:
Alice, the 2d wife of Thomas Gibbon; the mother of these nine last children, was buried at Westcliffe May 31, 1648; and her husband married, a third time, to Mary, daughter of Robert Osborn, of Hartlip, gent. who survived him, dying Oct. 22, 1678. On this marriage, Thomas Gibbon resided at Hartlip, probably giving up his mansion at Westcliffe to his eldest son. He lived to the great age of 81, and was brought to Westcliffe to by buried Nov. 19, 1671. His property was considerable: I find him sometimes written "Thomas Gibbon, gent." and sometimes "Thomas Gibbon, esq." On Dec. 20, 1647, he bought the manor of Kingston, on Barham-downs, of Sir Anthony Aucher, of Bourne, for £2,850 and this estate still belongs to his descendants. In 1698, he sold to the trustees of Lady Maynard's settlements, lands in Ivychurch, Medley, &c. in Romney-Marsh, for £2,754.
