She married Isaac Gibbs, son of Richard Gibbs and Sarah, on 22d 8m 1696 [22 Oct 1696].[2]

According to renowned genealogist, Elizabeth Pearson White, Isaac Gibbs was born in Kings County, New York on 18 Sep 1669, the son of Richard Gibbs.[1] There is not much information about Isaac to be found. We know that he married Hannah Dickinson in 1696 in Oyster Bay, Nassau, New York.[2] Although there is some discrepancy with regard to when in 1696: Clemens, in American Marriage Records gives a date of April 1696,[3] While Torry, in New England Marriages,[4] and Hinshaw, in the Encyclopedia of American Quaker Genealogy give 22 Oct 1696.[5] Their marriage was recorded by the New York (sometimes called Flushing) Monthly Meeting

Isaac and Hannah had the following children:

1. Richard Gibbs; b. abt. 1697, Burlington, Burlington, NJ; d. 1737, Mansfield, Burlington, NJ;[7] m. 1721, Rebecca Cowgill, daughter of Ralph Cowgill.
2. Francis Gibbs; b. abt. 1699; d. 1750, Mansfield;[8] m. Elizabeth
3. Isaac Gibbs, Jr.; b. abt. 1701, Mansfield, Burlington, NJ; m. 1) Mary Shreve; 2) Susannah (Godwin) Davis.
4. Sarah Gibbs; b. abt. 1705. Referred to as Sarah Dickinson in her father's will.
5. John Gibbs; b. bef. 1708, Mansfield; m. 18 Oct 1729, Hannah Lucas, daughter of Robert Lucas of Burlington.[9]

Hannah appears to have died before 2 Feb 1716, when, according to White, Isaac married Hannah/Anna Pope.[1] It is unclear whether Isaac and Anna had any children.
