  1. I hope I can find someone who can help me. I’m doing my family ancestry and I can’t seem to find my 2nd grandfather’s wife. Her name was America Gibson and born between 1823 and 1824 in Indiana.
    Thank

    Trying to find more on my great great grandfather Issac Gibson. I think his father was Major George Gibson. Issac was born in North Carolina or Virginia

    1. The major George Gibson was brother to Thomas Gibson 1750 to 1784. who died in battle of king mountain during revolution war. Son of the great Robert gibson sr and Isabella agnes gibson Husband of Ann.

      Major George Gibson is my 4 times great grandfather, through his son Robert (1779-1835). The family was concentrated in the Cumberland Gap area (SW Virginia/SE Kentucky/NE Tennessee) for generations. My late father, Daniel Zachary Gibson, was born in Middlesboro, Kentucky. I’m sure you already know that the DAR chapter in SW Virginia is named for George.

  3. Greetings
    I am trying to find where we came from and was wondering if anybody has information on relatives that migrated through Tennessee and Kentucky? I have many relatives in Burnside, Kentucky

  4. Looking for any information on my great grandfather, Conley Gibson born around 1850, I believe in Tazewell Virginia,

    Hello, I’m looking for the parents of Joshua Thomas (known as J.T.) GIBSON. He was born in VA, Sept 1832. The town of his birth is not listed in my records, but I believe his father’s name was John; or possibly James.

    JT was 30 years old when he married Sarah Margaret Ann Woodsmall (nee Bergen), widow of Nathaniel Woodsmall in March 1832. The Gibson family had immigrated to Boone Co., MO prior to that.
