Mistress Gibson bore nine children, five of whom arrived at adult age and were of ordinary proportions.

She died at the age of eighty; her husband afterward became the drawing master of Princesses Mary and Anne, daughters of James II; he died July 23, 1690, aged seventy-five years.
In 1730 there was born of poor fisher parents at Jelst a child named Wybrand Lokes.

He became a very skilful jeweler, and though he was of diminutive stature he married a woman of medium height, by whom he had several children.

He was one of the smallest men ever exhibited, measuring but 25 1/2 inches in height.

To support his family better, he abandoned his trade and with great success exhibited himself throughout Holland and England.
