About Agnes Gibson
At this point, no documented information has been found for the parents of these two sisters. Most sites either list no parents or just a father named John with no other information on him and no wife listed for him as the mother of the sisters. Sites that have listed parents for them have nothing validating the connection.
Agnes Williams was a sister of Sarah Williams who married Nelson Gibson, brother of Agnes' husband Thomas Gibson

Thomas married Agnes Williams in 1756 according to the Three Rivers Historical Society Marriage List G. Agnes was born Abt. 1740 and died Abt. 1804 in Richmond County, North Carolina. https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Williams-4679
------------------------------------------
Some sites list her mother as Agnes Bullock who was the widow of George Keeling and who married a John Williams as her second husband. This seems highly unlikely to be the wife of the John WIlliams who was father of Sarah and Agnes Williams because this link doesn't mention any children for the Bullock / Keeling - Williams marriage and that John Williams who married that Agnes left his entire estate to his adopted daughter Agatha Keeling:

(Edgar MacDonald, Ph.D., "A Merchant's Account Book: Hanover County, Virginia 1743-1744," MAGAZINE OF VIRGINIA GENEALOGY, V. 34, No. 3, pp. 185-202).
George Keeling may have been a neighbor of the Williams family in Hanover Co., VA. However, according to notes found in Folder 9A of the Lewis Bullock [M.D.] Collection, Thornton Library, Oxford, NC, George Keeling died in Halifax Co., NC and not in Granville Co., NC. He made his will 9 June 1759, and it was proved September court 1759. Witnesses were Abner Andrews, Absolom Rogers, Jurat, John Rhodes. In his will, he named his son John Keeling, and his daughters, Elizabeth, Ann, Francis [sic], Agatha. Executors were Thos. B. Smith and Jas Smyth. (Document not verified by this writer.)
From the will, it is determined he was the father of the youngest child Agatha, who seemingly was adopted by John Williams, Esq., of Granville Co., second husband of Agnes Bullock. The latter couple were married 1759, soon after Keeling's death. At any rate, Agatha and her husband Robert Burton became sole heirs of Judge John Williams of Granville Co. NC. Apparently Williams considered her his daughter. Burton had long been associated with Williams as records of Transylvania Colony reveal.
