Mo. 1910 census with his father listed as born in Kentucky and his mother in Tennessee. Who were Harry Henry's parents? I have been searching for nearly ten years without a clue. Harry Henry GIBSON m. Doris DILL abt. 1909 and they had two children: Elsie May b. 1910 and Harry Henry (Jr.) b. 1911 in Kansas City. Harry Henry GIBSON (Sr.) was in the 1910 and 1911 KC Directory but not in subsequent years. In the 1920 census his wife Doris is listed as a widow with the two children. There is no death record, no divorce file, no cemetery location. After these years of searching I can only hope that someone will be able to place Harry Henry GIBSON in a family that moved from Kentucky to Missouri. I also feel the naming pattern must be significant. I did not know my father HHG (Jr.) b. 1911 but I was told he had Native American (Cherokee?) heritage. I would be most appreciative to anyone for their suggestions or assistance in this decade-long search for my paternal line. Thank you for reading this query.
