After completing his term in government, at age seventy-six Gibson and his wife Ann returned to private life, briefly remaining in Vincennes. He returned to live with his daughter and son-in-law, George Wallace, in Braddock's Field near Pittsburg, where he died on April 10, 1822, at age eighty-two, having suffered two years from an "incurable cataract".[24] Gibson County, Indiana, was named in his honor.[23]

Was Ann Means the 2nd wife of John Gibson, Acting Territorial Governor of Indiana? Which John Gibson is not identified in the source reference, and he’s only known to have had one surviving child, the daughter (Jane) who married George Wallace.

Possibly the same as Anna, surviving widow, but that Anna was born 1762, making it unlikely that Anna was Jane’s mother.

Disambiguation

Not Ann Ball. That Ann was the wife of John Gibson of Philadelphia, son of James Gibson of Glasgow & Virginia, with a substantial inheritance from the estate of Joseph Ball, Ann’s brother.

Annie Ball had a rich brother with no children of his own. When he died, there was a massive effort by anyone who could reasonably INVENT a connection to the Gibson/Ball family of Philadelphia to cash in on a potential inheritance of millions. Some of John C. Gibson’s grandchildren tried saying they were actually related to Annie’s sister. That’s where a bunch of inaccurate family records have come from — created by greed rather than historical accuracy. BTW, the lawyers ate up most of the estate trying to figure it all out and the “descendants” they decided to pay got about as much as would buy a coffee and a donut.
