Henry Gib

His [John Gib of Knock’s] younger son Henry Gibb also had a bedchamber position. He was first a groom of the bedchamber to Prince Henry.[25] John Gibb obtained the lands of Kilcroft and Carriber and transferred them to Henry Gibb.[26] In September 1613 Henry Gibb and Mr May travelled to Veere and Sluis to prevent Henry Howard, a son of the Earl of Suffolk fighting a duel with the Earl of Essex over issues concerning his sister Frances Howard and the annulment of her marriage.[27][28]

Young Gibb was part of an incident in 1615 connected with the fall of the Scottish favourite, Robert Carr, 1st Earl of Somerset, who had married Frances Howard. He passed a letter and message from Somerset's message to Anne of Denmark's servant, his kinswoman Elizabeth Schaw, Mrs Murray. This caused the queen offence and difficulties for Scottish courtiers including Schaw's husband John Murray of the Bedchamber. The Countess of Eglinton heard about the affair and she wrote to the Murrays about Somerset, who she described as the "errant liar", who "wret to you and message sent with that ungret fullich cousing of yours, Herie Gib." He lost his place at court for a while.[29]
