In her will dated 20 Aug 1753, proved PCC 8 Aug 1753 (sic, obviously incorrectly), Isabel Gibson, St.John the Evangelist, Westminster, widow, left legacies to Aclomb Milbanke (qv) (£50), John Milbanke (qv) (a mahogany chest), their mother Lady Milbanke (a “screen mahogany table”), and Daniel Crofts (qv) (“my silver punch ladle”), and she made Sir William Russell, Bart.

She also refers in her will to “the bed and furniture of Mr Burnett’s room”, indicating that Matthew Burnett (qv) is likely to have been her house usher.
