But it sank when I saw his wife's name. I have one James Gibson in my direct line family tree, and two James Thomas Gibsons, but the name of the wife you gave - Lexie, I think - didn't match up. Darn. Anita B. Hello Anita: I saw your James Gibson and the surname of Roark..... I have James Carlile Gibson born about 1851 who married Lousia Tucker, she came from Morgan Co., Tenn and James was born and raised in Boone Co., Ark.... I am very interested in your Roark line.... I have William Carrol Roark born 1814 in Tenn. I don't know who he married but he went to Madison Co., Ark. and had 4 children... Williamson born 1840, Amelia 1835, Elmyra 1837 and John born 1842. There's no listing of a mother in the census records that I can find. Hope to hear from you.... [email protected]
