John George Nathaniel Gibbes
Colonel John George Nathaniel Gibbes (30 March 17875 December 1873) was a British army officer who emigrated to Australia in 1834 on his appointment as Collector of Customs for the Colony of New South Wales, an appointment which gave him a seat on the New South Wales Legislative Council and which he held for 25 years.

Biography Phebe Gibbes possesses one of the most elusive histories of the 18th-century women writers.

One can conjecture that she spent part of her life in British India, as some of her novels, particularly ''Hartly House'', avow a markedly accurate knowledge of Indian lifestyle as perc ...
