Gibbs, and his accomplice, Thomas Wansley, lead a mutiny killing the captain and his first mate on November 23, 1830.

His career was marked by violence and brutality, and he admitted to have been involved in the killing of as many as 400 victims. His confessions detailing his career were recorded and published following his death and remained popular reading, though historians have questioned the accuracy of Jeffers's confessions.
