It would appear  Jane, Margaret & Annie died in Massachusetts

Jane/jennie  died oct 1910
married Charles bogret
Margaret  died june 1903 married Edward Klein
Annie died Dec 1905

George born circa 1869 before Archibald. & Margaret married

Mary born Oct 1874

IGI / LDS - familysearch site can help as a index - but best to check out the official enters and use personally submitted enters as a guide

the use of middle names can depend on families, but the traditional trend in the scottish borders is to use them to pass down maternal/family surnames

Archibald could come from naming him after a prominent family friend or minister

I don't know if this is relevant but if you go on the Maxwell Ancestry website and key in Gibson  a couple of Archibald Gibson's come up in a limited census done in 1831 Melrose  / Lindean generally the census info on site is free, but their is a payment to access this info

The registering of illegitimate child varies in Scotland back then and from church to church this area does generally register them, but getting the details can be sketchy  - In rural areas this families generally accept the children into the family, but there is class differences

You mentioned Archibald had a brother called Andrew  - one of John & Margaret's sons was called Andrew, but not Archibald showing up yet

Got more info

John Gibson married to Sarah Roberton/Robertoun and Margaret/Peggy Sheil are different people

Found the death of John and Sarah - John died  2 Feb 1801 age 27 and Sarah died 3 Nov 1803 age 30 and their son Robert born 9 Jul 1795 died 15 Nov 1796 age 16months at Crailing

Sarah's Parent could be William Robertoun and Isabel Crispel/Crisel

John and Sarah had at least 2 daug's Janet 1798 & Isabel 1797 at crailing

John  &  Sarah married 22 Mar 1795

But I found an oddity which would suggest that John & Sarah could have had their bands read first in Oct 1794 at Ancrum -  I think if John & Sarah are right - it is possible your Archibald may have been born out of wedlock

John & Sarah died young leaving several young children behind - probably raised by other members of their family

As for John and Margaret - they had a large family at least 7 sons

This can be a pain but worth checking, because records in this area can be a bit patchy in the 1700's - a lot are missing or damaged

I'll have a look through some of my docs

try looking at Crailing parish - found a family that might fit John Gibson & Sarah Roberton had various children around the 1790's and it fits the traditional naming patterns
