Alexander Gibson petitions court that William McFarland, his son-in-law, has moved out of the colony & his children are not properly provided for: Isabella, Alexander, James, Mary, Daniel, Eleanor, John. They are to be bound out to said Alexander Gibson, grandfather.

Morton's Annals of Bath, referring to the adoptions of William's children by their grandfather Gibson, says he "absconded" It is believed the word is too ? and was used in-advisedly, since the records show he was in touch with his family after that time. The adoption papers refer to him as "having moved out of the colony."
