Fielding: Frindsbury 1690-1724; Stoke 1679-90. Ex Mon Suo: 'I.S.E., Samuel Gibson, A.M., Ecclesiae de Frindsbury quondam vicarius quam provinciam pia sedulitate et inegritate vitae per 34 annos ornavit religionem sine fuco et superstitione doctrinam sine fame aucupii coluit. Ortu satis felix beneficentiaque major utrumque taceri maluit. Gravitatem morum cum suavitate composuit pacis qod vexit semina sparsit. Morien's amplam messem recepit (Amorum satur) Septuagenario paulo minor animan Deo placide redditus Feb. 10, 1724, Priscilla filia unica superstes atque haeres Patri pariter atque matri charissima priscilla. In vita simul et in morte conjunctissimi posuit.' Buried at Strood 16 Feb 1724, where there is the above inscription.
The dates of the next incumbent at Stoke confirms Fielding's identification of the incumbents of Stoke and Frindsbury as the same.
