Kelly Paul Graham Houston, Texas Dear Kelly, My great grandmother was Mary Boone Gibson, born Nov. 24, 1844 in Benton County, MO; died Jan. 1829 in Orange County, CA. Mary Boone Gibson was the daughter of Hawkins Martin Gibson, (born 1807 in KY) and his wife Sarah Bryan Bradley (born 1808 in KY). I do not find the name of John E. Dawson in my books.
