This one has been out there waiting to be connected, and it just jumped out tonight. In one of my previous posts, I mentioned the David and Mercy Gibson family of Tazewell, IL as recorded in the 1850 US Census as a possible family of origin for Elisha. My thinking was that this family had two sons of the correct age range in 1840 and in 1850, Bascom was the only son in that age range still with the family. I speculated Elisha was apprenticing with a blacksmith in 1850 and created that "hole" in the family. I have also speculated Elisha's son, George David Gibson, might have been named for George Lewis - Ann's father, and perhaps his other grandfather, a David Gibson. Here is the new scrap of information pointing to this same David Gibson family. In the 1870 US Census for Allen township, McLean, IL, the Elisha Gibson entry includes a David Gibson, age 24, born in IL, listed as a hand on the farm. In 1850, the David and Mercy Gibson family has a son, David A., age 5, also born in IL. In 1860, David A. is listed with the same David and Mercy Gibson family in Pike township, Livingston county, IL, at age 14. The ages are close enough to make me speculate the younger David Gibson in the 1870 US Census listing is either Elisha's brother or a fantastic coincidence. So far, I cannot find the David and Mercy Gibson family in the 1870 census, and in 1870 Bascom Gibson is listed back in McLean county with his own family. This makes me wonder if David and Mercy passed away between 1860 and 1870 and Elisha and Ann took on David A. as a farm hand since their father was no longer farming and the younger David needed a new situation. Obviously this line of thinking is still circumstantial at best, but this may be the best connection we may get to go searching for additional records. If we could find more information about Bascom Gibson (in one census he was listed as F. Bascom Gibson) and if any of his records list an older brother, Elisha, then that would just about confirm my suspected link. Any thoughts?

I found a listing for a David Gibson, died 17 Feb 1864 buried in the Payne Cemetery, near Chenoa, Livingston Co., IL on findagrave.com. If this is the same David Gibson, this likely confirms my theory about the scattering of the David and Mercy Gibson family between 1860 and 1870. http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=39728509 Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

Gibson, b. 1870 in Tennessee, migrated to Jacksonville, Duval, FL where he was a clerk for the railroad in the late 1800's. He vanished from Florida and working for the RR could have ended up anywhere! There are only so many Claud/e L. Gibsons, in the time period right? I know it's been 9 years since this was posted, but does anyone have a clue about this guy? If the dates in the OP are correct, that would have my guy born in 1882 . . . 12 years too late. Does anyone know if the Florida Mortality Schedules are available on Ancestry? If he died, they would have shipped him home.

Author: Hymnsinger Surnames: Gibson, Higgins Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.gibson/5792/mb.ashx Message Board Post: I'm researching one of the Gibson families of Duval Co., FL. Mabel M. Gibson was born Jul 1889 in Duval Co., daughter of James A. Gibson and his unknown second wife. She has a brother, James A. Gibson, Jr, born in 1890. In 1900 they are still in Duval Co., but I can't find them after that. I need to know who Mabel's mother was, as well as the parentage of her father James. He was originally from Alabama, moved to Tennessee where he married Nancy Catherine Higgins, then to Jacksonville, FL. Nancy Catherine died in Jacksonville in 1882, and her husband then remarried. Dang FL marriage records don't record the spouse!!! Mabel's half siblings are Claud, Maud, Katie, Violet, and Omie. There's got to be SOMEBODY out there that is kin to these folks besides me and mine! Thanks for reading! Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

PAR Number 11482002 State: Tennessee Year: 1820 Location: Stewart Location Type: County Abstract: Harriet H. Gibson seeks a divorce from her husband, Henry Gibson, on the grounds that he neglected his business, "cohabited with Other Women," and forced her from the house; shortly thereafter, Henry "removed to the State of Kentucky with all his (Negroes Ten in number) his Horses &C in which he has Resided about twelve months & Still continues there." The petitioner reports that her husband "has been frequently herd to say that he would never live with me again as a wife." PAR Number 21482505 State: Tennessee Year: 1825 Location: Stewart Location Type: County Abstract: Patsey Gibson, by her next friend and grandfather Thomas French, seeks to enjoin the sale of "a negro Girl named Charity." The petitioner submits that John P. and William Rushing "recovered a Judgment against Henry Gibson, the father of your orator" and that they have "caused an Execution to be issued" and have "caused the same to be levied on" Charity, "the property of your oratrix." Asserting "that the said negro Girl Charity was the Gift of her grandfather," Gibson apprehends "that should a Sale of Said property take place, the said Girl Charity might be removed to parts by the purchaser and in that court your oratrix would be deprived altogether of the Said Girl which is esteemed and considered the more valuable as being a Gift to her from her Grandfather." The petitioner therefore prays that "your honor may decree a perpetual Injunction against the Sale of Said Girl Charity on the Execution aforesaid." PAR Number 11484203 State: Tennessee Year: 1842 Location: White Location Type: County Abstract: Sixty-year-old John Gipson, "feeling some conciencious scruples upon the subject of slavery," represents that he is desirous of emancipating six slaves. He "begs leave to state further that he has no white family never having married that he has many relations nices & nephews scattered over many states -- where he does not know -- so many [heirs] that his little Estate divided amongst so many would amount to but verry little to each share." The petitioner therefore prays that he be granted "the priviledge of amancipating" his said slaves, who "are negroes of good character." PAR Number 21383504 State: South Carolina Year: 1835 Location: Marion Location Type: District Abstract: Newly married Robert and Ann Jane Harllee charge that executor Jordan Gibson has "grossly mismanaged" Ann's late father's estate. Ann's parents died in 1820, leaving her the sole heir to the estate of Joseph Gourley. The estate, worth $7,803.12, included seventeen slaves, two of them blacksmiths. The Harllees accuse Gibson of "combining and confederating with others" to defraud the estate. He sold the blacksmiths Toney and George and another valuable slave to himself and John Gibson for sums far less than their assessed values. Gibson also claims six other slaves as his own. The petitioners testify that Gibson "has never made any returns of his sales of the personal Estate, & that he has never filed any annual account of his administration ... but has employed the negroes used the entire estate, and appropriated the whole income ... as if it was his own private property." The Harllees ask that Gibson account for the losses incurred by the estate during his "maladministration." They also seek the return of the estate slaves held by Jordan and John Gibson. PAR Number 21385023 State: South Carolina Year: 1850 Location: Marion Location Type: District Abstract: Allison H. Brown, the administrator of John C. Gibson, asks that "the rents and profits" from the real and personal property currently held in trust by A. L. Scarborough be considered part of Gibson's estate. He states that John Gibson and Martha McCall Gibson executed a marriage settlement prior to their 1838 marriage, whereby Martha conveyed "all her right, interest, share, Estate and inheritance in and to the real and personal" estates of the late John McCall and the late Thomas Godbold to A. L. Scarborough, who "shall during the joint lives of the said John C Gibson and Martha A McCall ... receive the rents and profits of the said real and personal estate and pay them over to the joint use" of John and Martha. Attesting that Gibson died in "a state of utter insolvency," Brown charges that the trustee "did not pay over the said rents and profits ... to the said John C Gibson in his life time, nor to his use, either seperately or jointly, with the said Martha A" and that said rents and profits "had accumulated to a considerable amount in the hands of A. L. Scarborough." Citing that said funds "belong to and form part of" Gibson's estate, Brown prays that said rents and profits "be applied to the debts of the said John C. Gibson, due your Orator and others." The property conveyed in trust to Scarborough included four female slaves. PAR Number 20885291 State: Louisiana Year: 1852 Location: Catahoula Location Type: Parish Abstract: Richard Curry, tutor of Vernon Gibson, minor son of the late Ann Biggs and Richard T. Gibson, seeks to recover a debt on behalf of Vernon. Curry represents that Vernon’s mother, the late Ann Biggs Gibson, died in 1843, possessed of considerable property, including four slaves. As Ann’s only child and sole heir, Vernon inherited the four slaves. In 1848, Richard Gibson purchased the four slaves from his son for $3,400. In 1849, he collected, on his son’s behalf, a debt of $4,000 due his late wife’s estate and kept the money. Richard Gibson later remarried, had two more children, and then died. The slaves are now in the possession of Gibson’s widow, Mary E. Williams. Curry contends that Vernon has a "special mortgage and vendors privilege" on all the property in his late father’s estate, including the four slaves that used to belong to him. Curry therefore prays that Mary E. Williams Gibson, executrix of her late husband’s succession, be cited to answer the petition and commanded to render a full account of all sums received on behalf of the estate. He asks that Vernon’s mortgage on the estate be recognized and enforced by a sale, if necessary, to pay what is owed to him. A related document indicates that, by the time of the final judgment in 1854, Mary E. Curry had remarried and become Mrs. Miller. _http://library.uncg.edu/slavery/pSearch.aspx?s=2_ (http://library.uncg.edu/slavery/pSearch.aspx?s=2)
