My gg grandfather was Thomas Walter Tibbit born in north Louisiana in 1840. He married a Cherokee lady named Catherine Rainwater. They had 4 children, Charles Thomas Tibbit b. 1868 in La., Faney Tibbit b. 1871 in Miller Co. Ark.,Oscar Tibbit b. 1878 in Miller Co. Ark. and Walter Thomas Tibbit b. 1881 in Miller Co. Ark. Several years ago an aunt of mine met a John or Jim Tibbit from Union Parish, La. in Texarkana and he told her the 2 families are related. Does anyone have any info on this? I can find very little on Thomas Walter Tibbit. Thanks for your help, Billy
