"They left Liverpool on a sailing vessel that took six weeks to make the crossing to Montreal. They had got within a few days of Montreal when a storm from the west blew them back out into the Atlantic. During the voyage the two older girls , Mary and Sarah, prepared the meals. From Montreal they made their way to Brockville, Ontario where they spent the winter and then went up to Perth area where they rented farms for a number of years, including Bromley, a hamlet about 5 miles NW of Perth(sic, actually in Renfrew county) (where their youngest son James was born).The Bromley place may have been rented from the McNabs and if so, it would mark the beginning of a long-standing inter-family association.

On the 13th of May 1867 John purchased, for 800 pounds, the SW 1/2 and NE 1/2 of Lot 16, Bathurst Twp. Lanark Co. from Thomas Wilson, son of John's uncle George Wilson. George had settled there in 1816 and had encouraged John to emmigrate to the Perth area. George Wilson* built the wood frame portion of what we call the "Gibson family home" in the 1830's on the SW 1/2 of lot 16. John later acquired the adjoining southern portion of lot 17 (see photo of 1850's map), giving him a total of about 300 acres. In the 1880's John's son William built a larger brick house, attaching the old wood frame building to the rear of it.
