Thanyou Bo, But no I dont think this is the right one, Fistly: Several records point to his age alle indication 1833 as the year Secondly: then there is his fathers name his daugther gave it as Martin Gibson this however is no doubt anglizised version, triggered by his own use of Gibson. Yet it will have to be somewhat similar. thirdly there is the mothers name his daugther gave it as Ann Bengt well I'd say that this is a pretty good indication that she was in fact Anna Bengtsdotter or something similar.
and - he never actually emigrated from Sweden, he arrived in a lifeboat more dead tnan alive after 40 days and over 2000 km at sea with very little to eat and drink.
