Gibson of South Carolina/North Carolina. According to his marriage license dated 19 November 1884 from Mecklenburg County, NC: - He was 26 years old - He married on 20 November 1884 to Ida Harkey. - His parents were Claud and Rebecca. - Claud was dead at the time of his marriage. - His parent's residence was left blank. James L. remarried on 30 September 1894 to Della Gibson in Mecklenburg County, NC. James L. and Della and the children from his first marriage with Ida are in the 1900 and 1910 Federal census. Both census' list his and his parent's place of birth as South Carolina. His youngest child, Frances "Fannie" Gibson, is my paternal G-Grandmother. Just as added info: Fannie's sister, Jennie, relayed to my Mother that she and her sister were part Native-American. I am not attempting to align myself with a tribe, but this tidbit of oral history may be useful. Thank you for any help you can provide.
