There is a place called GIBSON in or around Montgomery. There are GIBSON Cemeteries in Choctaw, Elmore, Lawrence (4), Macon, Madison, Marengo, & Cherokee Counties. There is a GIBSON Hill Cemetery in Fayette County. There is also a place called BETHSAIDA in Franklin County. delilah evans ------------------------------------------------------------ CHOCTAW- Gibson - T 12N,R3W, Sec 35 - in SW part of county ELMORE - Gibson - Located Rifle Range Rd near Tallassee - cemetery for the family of Benjamin GIBSON LAWRENCE - (4) -1-TsS, R8W, Sec 22, NW part of county 2 - T7S,R7W,Sec 18 - NE part of county 3-T7S, R6W, Sec 20, SE part of county - 3 graves were once found here and moved to Hopewell Baptist Church in Morgan County; fitst known internment: Sylvestor GIBSON (1783-1851); last known internment: MaryGIBSON (1785-1874) 4-Gibson - T7S,R6W,Sec 20 an abandoned Black cemetery; approximately 50 unmarked graves: SW part of county GIBSON HILL (Fayette Cty) 716S,R92, Sec4 - Gibson Hill Baptist Church BETHSAIDA Cemetery (Fayette County): T7S, R10W, Sec 26 - Bethsaida Missionary Baptist Church, founded in 1884; approximately 100 graves; first known internment: Alex Thornton (1904-1933): Clement, McCluskey, Myrick & Shelton are common to this cemetery, still in use.

I'm almost certain the area referred to was somewhere near the Bethsadia and Grandview communities in Cullman County.
