Misc. Notes
James Gibbons, eldest son of Thomas and Mary Gibbons, was born about the year 1776. He received a good ordinary English education at John Forsythe’s school at Birmingham Meeting-house, and paid some attention to the Latin language under the tuition of his uncle, James Gibbons.
About the year 1799 he commenced the study of medicine with Dr. Jacob Ehrenzeller, of West Chester, and attended a course of lectures at the University of Pennsylvania. He practiced medicine about two years in West Chester and vicinity, as a successor of Dr. Ehrenzeller, having purchased the residence of Dr. Ehrenzeller, in West Chester, in 1803, when that physician retired to his farm in West Goshen.
His failing health induced him to retire from practice. In 1805 he sold his residence to his brother-in-law, Dr. Moses Peirce, and after a lingering illness died Jan. 13, 1808.3004
