Thank you for offering to help on my son's wife's tree REED. I live in eastern MA. It would be easier to have you view this REED tree, so that perhaps you can fill in the many 19th century holes. All I need is your email address and I will list you as an Editor for this REED file. I did this online research some years ago and have no thoughts on how to proceed to recover missing V.R.s without spending good money on this. Start with Goldie Dawn PRATT's birth record in Plymouth VT. Maybe two parents will be listed?? She seems to have carried her mother's surname.

Re: Elisha Gibson

This should actually be Elias Gibson not Elisha.

Elisha Gibson

Hammie1984 — 2009-11-05 17:51:44Z

Elisha was born in 1795 in Stokes County, NC and died in 1826 in Putnam County, Indiana. His wife was Elizabeth Garrett.

I'm wondering if he had a daughter born in 1821 named Jerusha? Jerusha Gibson married Stephen Bankson in 1839 in Fayette County, Illinois.

I am actually dead ended on Jersusha, my great-great-grandmother. My theory is that she was given to another Gibson family to be raised after Elisha died. He is the only Gibson that I can find that was in the Indiana area aroung the time she was born.

The short version of my question: Is Jerusha Gibson the daughter of Elisha Gibson?

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi! I'm Only 8 years late finding this post.

Do you have any documentation for James Gibson marrying Sarah Preeson? Did they have a son George who married Martha Elizabeth Deviney. Also, found this today - might be "ours"
"1705, 4 Janr. Memo. That when Mr. Thomas Preeson went in ye ship called ye Augustine but now called ye Thomas and Elizabeth, hee owd me for drawing the 4 Lad Indentures and three shillings six pence besides. Elizabeth French, "List of Emigrants to America from Liverpool, 1697-1707," New England Historical and Genealogical Register, (Boston: The New England Historical and Genealogical Society, 1911), Vol. 65, 169."

Our Thomas Preeson was alive at this time, from Liverpool, and married to Elizabeth Brown.

My line is from George Gibson (I)m. Martha Elizabeth Deviney, their son Col. George Gibson m. Ann(e) West.
Thanks for any hints you might have.

I am looking for a Claud or Claude L. Gibson, b. 1870 in Tennessee, migrated to Jacksonville, Duval, FL where he was a clerk for the railroad in the late 1800's. He vanished from Florida and working for the RR could have ended up anywhere! There are only so many Claud/e L. Gibsons, in the time period right? I know it's been 9 years since this was posted, but does anyone have a clue about this guy? If the dates in the OP are correct, that would have my guy born in 1882 . . . 12 years too late.

Does anyone know if the Florida Mortality Schedules are available on Ancestry? If he died, they would have shipped him home.

Mabel M. Gibson, Duval Co., FL, 1889

Hymnsinger — 2009-11-01 03:19:52Z

I'm researching one of the Gibson families of Duval Co., FL. Mabel M. Gibson was born Jul 1889 in Duval Co., daughter of James A. Gibson and his unknown second wife. She has a brother, James A. Gibson, Jr, born in 1890. In 1900 they are still in Duval Co., but I can't find them after that.

I need to know who Mabel's mother was, as well as the parentage of her father James. He was originally from Alabama, moved to Tennessee where he married Nancy Catherine Higgins, then to Jacksonville, FL. Nancy Catherine died in Jacksonville in 1882, and her husband then remarried.

Dang FL marriage records don't record the spouse!!!

Mabel's half siblings are Claud, Maud, Katie, Violet, and Omie.

There's got to be SOMEBODY out there that is kin to these folks besides me and mine! Thanks for reading!

Re: Ancestors of Elisha S. Gibson

ed57176 — 2009-11-04 05:05:29Z

Follow up on David A. Gibson:

It appears David A. Gibson (1846) also moved from Illinois to Nuckolls County, NE in time for the 1880 US Census. He is married, has a child, and listed as a plasterer. He is still there for the 1900 US Census -same wife, two children. Later US Census records show David A., his wife and oldest child in Colorado. This move to Colorado occurs between 1900 and 1910 - how this fits with the timing of Elisha's death in 1909 has yet to be determined. While still circumstantial, it appears David A. Gibson followed Elisha's family to Nebraska and moved on about the time of his death.

In 1870, Bascom Gibson is still in Illinois and his vocation is listed as plasterer. This makes me wonder if Bascom and David A. worked together for a while or if one learned the plastering trade from the other.

In other records, Mercy Gibson is found in the 1880 US Census for Lawrenceburg, Dearborn, Indiana living with daughter Laura Gibson Dobell and family. This is the same county where the 1833 Indiana marriage record for David Gibson (1802) and Mercy Allee was recorded. There are records on familysearch.org directly linking several of the children listed in the 1850 US Census to David Gibson (1802) and Mercy Allee. This verifies Mercy's maiden name.

It seems most of the children married and went their various directions after the death of David (1802) in 1864.

I am beginning to build a family tree for the this family just in case the connection is ever proven. There seems to be a considerable set of records about Mercy's ancestors. No definite links have been found to continue David Gibson's ancestry.

Again, none of this positively establishes David and Mercy as the parents of Elisha, but it does establish a relationship between Elisha and David A. which seems to be more than just farmer and farm hand since they both moved to Nuckolls, Nebraska at about the same time. If Elisha is indeed the "missing" older brother from the 1840 US Census it is a puzzle why he left the family by age 18 when the other children seemed to have only moved on after David's (1802) death. Part of me wonders if it has something to do with Elisha's blacksmith apprenticeship. Perhaps he was supposed to learn the trade then come back home to support the family farm with his new skills. Perhaps in marrying Ann Maria Lewis and establishing his own farm he exceeded and/or derailed the expectations of his father. Elisha and Ann Gibson were described by their son-in-law as "Presbyterians of the strictest kind." Perhaps David Gibson was even more strict and kept the family close as long as he could.

This is getting interesting. If even half of my theories are close, these Gibson families seem to have some kind of connection. Lacking the definitive record establishing Elisha's direct relationship to this family, I am certain there is something here to continue looking into.

Re: Ancestors of Elisha S. Gibson

ed57176 — 2009-11-01 08:21:51Z

One more piece of information.

I found a listing for a David Gibson, died 17 Feb 1864 buried in the Payne Cemetery, near Chenoa, Livingston Co., IL on findagrave.com. If this is the same David Gibson, this likely confirms my theory about the scattering of the David and Mercy Gibson family between 1860 and 1870.

Re: Ancestors of Elisha S. Gibson

ed57176 — 2009-11-01 07:38:27Z

Okay, time to share another piece of information. This one has been out there waiting to be connected, and it just jumped out tonight.

In one of my previous posts, I mentioned the David and Mercy Gibson family of Tazewell, IL as recorded in the 1850 US Census as a possible family of origin for Elisha. My thinking was that this family had two sons of the correct age range in 1840 and in 1850, Bascom was the only son in that age range still with the family. I speculated Elisha was apprenticing with a blacksmith in 1850 and created that "hole" in the family. I have also speculated Elisha's son, George David Gibson, might have been named for George Lewis - Ann's father, and perhaps his other grandfather, a David Gibson.

Here is the new scrap of information pointing to this same David Gibson family. In the 1870 US Census for Allen township, McLean, IL, the Elisha Gibson entry includes a David Gibson, age 24, born in IL, listed as a hand on the farm. In 1850, the David and Mercy Gibson family has a son, David A., age 5, also born in IL. In 1860, David A. is listed with the same David and Mercy Gibson family in Pike township, Livingston county, IL, at age 14. The ages are close enough to make me speculate the younger David Gibson in the 1870 US Census listing is either Elisha's brother or a fantastic coincidence.

So far, I cannot find the David and Mercy Gibson family in the 1870 census, and in 1870 Bascom Gibson is listed back in McLean county with his own family. This makes me wonder if David and Mercy passed away between 1860 and 1870 and Elisha and Ann took on David A. as a farm hand since their father was no longer farming and the younger David needed a new situation.

Obviously this line of thinking is still circumstantial at best, but this may be the best connection we may get to go searching for additional records. If we could find more information about Bascom Gibson (in one census he was listed as F. Bascom Gibson) and if any of his records list an older brother, Elisha, then that would just about confirm my suspected link.

Any thoughts?
