Text source

Thomas Gibson was a Scotsman living in Sweden. He is listed as an officer in the Stockholmsstads tankeboker for 1622 as that year on 11 June he sold a wooden house on Sjalagardsgatan in Stockholm. He may have been related to Agnes [SSNE 6253]. In 1615 a Thomas Gibson had become godparent to Nils the hatter's child, but it is not known if this is the same man.

See also Captain Gibson [SSNE 6946], who may have been the same man.
