    3. I have gained lots of info since my last communication here, and the web keeps getting thicker. I found my Grandmother, Margaret Elvira Roberts married James F.Gibson in Fulton Co.in 1895. She was in the 1900 census in Sharp Co. in the household of her brother, John W. Roberts, with her 2 year old son, Ransom N. Gibson, indicating that she was a WIDOW. In the census of 1910, in Hughes Co., Ok. Ransom Gibson, nephew, age 12, was living in the household of William R Dority. I am aware of the Dority connection in my family, so I know, by the other names listed as living in the Dority household, that this Ransom Gibson is my uncle, son of Margaret. In the 1920 census, Margaret Gibson, DIVORCED, has living in her household, son Ransom age 22, and daughter Mollie, age 15, in Kings Co. California. My question is, where was my grandma Margaret, and my mother Mollie ( born March 2, 1904, in Citra Ok., Indian Territory) in 1910, and who, when, where , and what is, was James F Gibson? Was Margaret a widow of James F Gibson in 1900 as indicated, Or divorced from him, as indicated in the 1920 census? Was my mom ligitimate or illegitimate? Why was my Uncle Ransom not living with my grandma and my mom in 1910? I' m not asking for much am I? I have always been curious about my mom's paternal history, but she knew nothing about it, as grandma was very closed mouth about any thing in her past. Does anyone out there know anything about this family? Thanks----Norma
