He lived in Graham Texas with his wife and several children. It was the family tradition to name sons after presidents (Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, etc) as well as after Jesse James. I know little else at this time. I am sorry it has been so long since I signed in and to answer. I know that many of the "Gibson"s migrated through the south and into Texas. They may have been related.
