Hi Kay, Gail, Edgar, and others interested in Sabra and William, Kay: No, I do not know if my Sabra "Belle" Gibson and William Blackburn were in Washington Co, AR in 1870. My information on Sabra came to me years ago with little or no documentation. I have her as the second of twelve children born to Shadrack Jacob (or Jacob Shadrack) Gibson (b c1807 in VA; d ?) who mar Sarah Dutton c1826 in VA. Her younger sister, Matilda "Tilda" Gibson (b 1837 in IL; d Feb 12, 1910 in Benton Co, AR) who mar Moses Jefferson Dutton is my wife's gg grandmother. Now my question is: Is there a Sabra "Belle" Gibson (b c1829) who mar William Blackburn and a Sabra Angeling Watson (b c1827 in VA) who mar William Blackburn or they the same person? My wife's Blackburns were in Benton Co, AR as early as 1830 when Josiah Hackney Blackburn and family arrived and their son Sylvanis established the War Eagle mill. Although I have not tied the subject William Blackburn to this family, he was in the right place and time to be part of the family. Can anyone help to further identify or clarify Sabra "Belle" Gibson and Sabra Angeling Watson, both supposedly married to a William Blackburn? Joe Carroll
