Frederick GIBBENS and Ann FERRIER were both born in Harrison Co, OH and both died in Williams Co, OH. Andrew is supposed to be born in Branch Co, MI and married his first wife in Hillsdale Co, MI.   I think Frederick had a sister named, Elizabeth GIBBENS, who married Andrew FERRIER. Andrew was born in Harrison Co, OH, married there and then moved to Williams Co, OH.  I also think Frederick had a brother named Thomas GIBBENS born in Harrison Co, OH. If I am right, then James GIBBENS  is their father. I think James is from PA. 
Frederick GIBBENS remarried in 1863 Sarah MUNDAY/MUNDY. They had a son, Jefferson, born in 1866. Sarah was the widow of John MUNDAY/MUNDY Andrew had a child, Francis A., born 1868. He/she might have been born in MI or OH. He also had a daughter, Bertha Jane, born 1872, also, either in MI or OH.
