I have been looking for Jeremiah Gibson for years.... I am hoping you might be able to help me find my line of Gibsons too.... I'm searching for the Parents and siblings of Benjamin Franklin Gibson born approx. 1830 in Tenn. he married Cathrine C. ? they had 10 children that I know of.... they moved to Arkansas ? I found this census: -1860 Census, Carroll Co., Ark. Jefferson Township *124 GIBSON, Benj. F 30 m TN farmer; can't read or write 124 GIBSON, Elizabeth C 27 f TN 124 GIBSON, William J. M. 10 m AR att. sch/yr 124 GIBSON, James C 9 m AR 124 GIBSON, Martha F 7 f AR 124 GIBSON, Nancy C 4 f AR 124 GIBSON, Thomas W 2 m AR Benjamin Franklin Gibson's father was said to be "Jerry Man"..... I figured his name was probably Jeremiah or something similar. I got my information from a G-Aunt's family Bible.... Arrah Comfort GIBSON 1880 - Any help will be _greatly_ appreciated. I have been stuck at this point for several years now. Thank you very much. I would be so happy to find new Cousins too.....<smile> Cordially Billieirene [email protected] 1 Jerry Man GIBSON (Probably Jeremiah) + ? 2 Benjamin Franklin GIBSON 1830 - + ? 3 John GIBSON 3 Martha GIBSON 1850 - 3 Yell GIBSON 3 Adline GIBSON 3 Clem GIBSON 3 Mary GIBSON 3 Mealy GIBSON 1850 - 3 Newsome GIBSON - 1947 3 Tomas GIBSON 3 James Carlile GIBSON 1851 - 1924 -----My GG Grandfather +Louisa TUCKER 1850 - 1927 4 Silas Lightly GIBSON 1874 - 1949 My Great-Grandfather +Alice ELMORE 1875-1920 4 Alvah GIBSON 1876 - 4 Elmer GIBSON 1878 - 4 Arrah Comfort GIBSON 1880 - Had family Bible 4 Burger GIBSON 1882 - 1904 4 Mack Sterling GIBSON 1884 - 4 Franklin Peel GIBSON 1886 - 4 William Jennings Bryan GIBSON 1886 - 4 Bess GIBSON 1890 - 4 Jett GIBSON 1892 - 4 Dinsmore GIBSON 1894 - From: "MILTON CLAY" <[email protected]> >Subject: Re: [GIBSON] Randolph Gibson > > <[email protected]> > >God Bless you, I have been searching for my Gibson line for more than 20 years and you have finally put maiden name to my great grandmother's name. >Sarah married Jeremiah Clay in Seneca County, Ohio after first marrying Isaiah BOOROM, 3 JUNE 1843, believed to be from New York Isaiah died within the year and Sarah then married William CROXTON , in 1844, who also left the scene of mortality before she married Jeremiah CLAY 10 April 1845.
