Sabin Gibbs (October 3, 1823 – March 25, 1905) was the son of Joel and 
Elizabeth (Root) Gibbs of Benson, Rutland County, Vermont.  Sabin’s first wife 
was Harriet Watts (January 14, 1827 – December 28, 1863), daughter of William 
and Rachel (Horner) Watts of Norfolk, England.  In 1836 Harriet emigrated from 
England to Washtenaw County, Michigan with her parents and siblings, one of 
whom was Elizabeth Watts who married Orren A. Gibbs, a brother of Sabin 
Gibbs.  Sabin and Harriet had three children:  Helen E. Gibbs, who married 
Jeremiah Hooper; William A. “Ami” Gibbs, who married Emma C. Swinehart; and 
Cora B. Gibbs, who never married.
