In regards to your query, you state you have Caty Gibson married to Samuel Hyde before Jane Orr. Well, I have a Caroline Gibson b. 18 Nov 1842 Newton Co., MS d. 1 Mar 1933 Lufkin, Angelina Co., TX married to James Lee; I have a John Gibson b. 1824 in SC d. before 1860 in TX married to Clarissa Lee with children Ellen, John and William "Bill" Marshall Gibson. Are they any matches to your Gibson's? My Samuel Hyde was born in Wilkes Co., GA abt 1783 d. abt 1859 in Washington Parish, LA married to Mary C. Robertson. Let me know if we connect any other way...
