Moses S. Gibson

Moses S. Gibson was an American banker from Hudson, Wisconsin who served as a Representative in the last two sessions of the Legislative Assembly of the Wisconsin Territory,[1] as a member of the First Wisconsin Constitutional Convention, and was elected to a term in 1859 as a member of the Wisconsin State Assembly after statehood, an election successfully contested by Marcus W. McCracken.[2] Gibson's political party affiliation is unknown.[3]

Political office

In the State Assembly, Gibson was to represent the district which included the sparsely-populated Ashland, Burnett, Douglas, La Pointe, Polk, and St. Croix counties to succeed Republican James B. Gray. McCracken in turn was succeeded by Asaph Whittlesey, also a Republican.
