The transcribed record I've seen says William Gordon, does the original register entry say Gibson?
 
The RootsIreland website has a number of potential baptisms of children (inc. an Elizabeth ) for parents Alexander Gibson and Mary Lynchachin/Linchachin and variant spellings, which might be worth following up, it is subscription based.
