His wife was Elizabeth Garrett. I'm wondering if he had a daughter born in 1821 named Jerusha? Jerusha Gibson married Stephen Bankson in 1839 in Fayette County, Illinois. I am actually dead ended on Jersusha, my great-great-grandmother. My theory is that she was given to another Gibson family to be raised after Elisha died. He is the only Gibson that I can find that was in the Indiana area aroung the time she was born. The short version of my question: Is Jerusha Gibson the daughter of Elisha Gibson? Any help would be appreciated. Shauna Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
