Hibbin age 23, William T. age 5 and Sarah age 3 (neighbors-McCravin on both sides) book called "History and Folklore of Searcy Co." Interview with Mollie Thomas My name is Mary Elizabeth, but I am called Mollie. My father's name was John Gibbons my mother was Sally (Sarah) Hibbens. My mother was raised as an orphan from the age of 6. My 2 brothers Willie and Croft was born in south Arkansas. I had a sister Meg who was bitten by a mad dog in November and died in Feb. The dog also bit my cousin who lived with us Zade Laster but it didn't break the skin. Meg, mom, dad, older sister and little brother are buried in Leslie. My mother had one brother Tom Hibbens. My father's people were from down south Arkansas. My grandfather was killed in the Civil War by the jayhawkers down by Bear Creek. The Zade Laster mentioned is my great grandmother Zada Laster Waters, her mother Nancy was a sister to John Gibbons. Possibly walked the Trail of Tears - more research to confirm this. This can not be true as the Cherokee Trail of Tears was between 1837 and 1838. May 28, 1830 Jackson signed into law the Indian Removal Act, a bill requiring all Indians living east of the Mississippi to leave their homes and be relocated far to the west in what was called Indian Territory. 1830 to 1833, Choctaws moved to Oklahoma (Indian Territory). Creeks, Seminoles and Chickasaws were moved to Oklahoma between 1834 and 1838.
