Claudia & Carol, I have a William Gibson that moved from W.V. to Illinois or Indiana. Most of the childrens names also match up but different wife listed. I guess it is possible he was maried more than onceif it is the same Gibson. Icannot seem to get much past Williams grandfather John. His father's name was David who was my gggrandfather. Not sure if we have the same family but may be worth checking out. Would like to exchange info. You can contact me direct. Thanks, Jean Gibson Claudia Googman <[email protected]> wrote: Here's what I have found on the Internet since; _John C. Gibson b. Jun 1887 in Teayses Valley, Putnam, West Virginia_. John married Rachael Jeanette Campbell in 1913. _John's parents_ were; James T. Gibson b. Mar. 1857 West Virginia/Virginia & Sarah E. (maiden name unknown) b. Feb. 1859 West Virginia. They were married in 1884. They had 5 children; Charles R., John C., William O., Cobett E., & Martha F. Birth dates range from 1885-1896. _John's Gibson's grandparents_ were; William Gibson 1820 Virginia & Martha E. 1828 Virginia. (again maiden name unknown). They had 6 children, Harriett Ann, James T., Lucretia V Gibson, Sarah E. Gibson, William H. & George F. Gibson. As you can see I don't have solid info on where John's family came to Putham Co. from. I have seen conflicting info. there are bunches of James Gibson's out there. Very popular name back then. Hard to know who is who... since I have no paper trail to let me know I'm on the right track.
