Sarah Gibbons was born May 5, 1742 Winchester, Frederick Co. Va. died September 16, 1832 Winchester, Frederick Co. Va.
In the spring of 1756 (probably April) Indians attacked at North River Mill. It is believed that Sarah's father, James Gibbons, was killed in this attack. Sarah was captured by the Indians and lived with them for about 9 yrs, during which time she reportedly was the wife of the son of a chief and gave birth to a half-Indian son whom she named Abraham Gibbons.
Sarah and her son were returned to her family in 1765.
On Oct 9, 1774, Sarah's son, Abraham aged 10 years, was bound to Daniel Sowers. A few months later Sarah filed a suit against Sowers for mistreating her son. Abraham rejoined his fathers people and nothing more is known of him.
Sarah was known as an "Indian Doctor" because of the healing skills, using herbs, which she learned from the Indians.
