If I read the cemetery records in Pittsburgh PA and Auburn NY correctly, the Gibsons are related to Pocahontas and her sister Cleopatra and also the Randolphs of Thomas Jefferson. That is why I am asking these questions. No one has ever, as far as I know, traveled to Pittsburgh or Auburn NY to look at these families graves and see who is buried next to whom. This includes Chief Logan, Chief Joseph Brant, Chief Techumseh, George Croghan, Sir William Johnson, the Phelps family, the Sherman family, the Myers family, the Greathouse family, the James Fenimore Cooper family and everyone else that has been involved in these well documented connections. I am from Pittsburgh and I am following a old family tale of my Myers family that we were part Native American. If you read the story of Chief Logan, Chief Logan was interviewed after his family was killed by the Greathouse and Myers family just south west of Pittsburgh. He states that he was related to the land hungry Myers family. Indeed there is a Land Hungry Myers family in the US at that time and they are related to James Fenimore Cooper and his close friend Ned Myers. It is one of the most well documented stories in the country since James Fenimore Cooper wrote a story about Ned Myers in his book titled Ned Myers. Since the commander of Ft Pitt John Gibson's wife was killed in that Myers/Greathouse raid and she was said to be Chief Logans sister who was killed, I am interested in John Gibson.
