My 4g grandparents, John Jackson Smith and Margaret Katherina Butler Smith, named one of their sons Thomas Gipson Smith. We never could find out where the "Gipson" came from, is there a connection here. Margaret Broyles McDowell Margaret, I'm most interested in what you find on the Gipson name. There is a Dyal Mills that married a Judith Gipson Feb. 16, 1830 in Franklin Co; GA. I had always thought it was mispelled for Gibson. Judith or Judy (Gipson ) Mills died sometime before 1840 in GA.
