I have seen many times that John Gibson, husband of Agnes Adair, was killed by Indians near Nashville and Agnes went on to Mississippi with Samuel Gibson and families.

This narrative clearly says the John Gibson who was killed in 1791 was married a month before to Margaret Mayfield, widow of Sutherland Mayfield -- and then she married a third time after John Gibson was killed. Either Agnes Adair Gibson died before 1791 and never went to Mississippi or there is another John Gibson? Margaret --- Mayfield Gibson Lemons may have went south as it says that her third husband was killed around New Orleans in 1812.

In this narrative John Davis recalls he met the widow, Mrs. Mayfield, and John Gibson on their way to get married.

Anyone know who the other John Gibson might have been?

"I knew Sutherland Mayfield upwards of 2 years before his death in 1789. I knew John Haggard about 5 or 6 years before his death in 1793 [sic]. I came to this country in Sept. 1785. Thomas Nolin was killed a few days after I came to this country."

"John Haggard died intestate. He left Samuel Haggard, Edmond Haggard, and John Haggard his sons and only heirs"
