I think there are Gibson/Gipson families connected to my dad's Barrow lines from the area. I used to have a picture of a Gibson, though it's been so long since I worked on those lines I'm not sure where any of it is. They would have been from the area though. Sorry I can be of better help. I will look for my notes, and if I find them, will post to the list again. ~ Mary (Clark) Young ----- Original Message ----- From: <edwells@att.net> To: <KYCALLOW-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, January 24, 2006 2:46 PM Subject: [KYCALLOWAY] Re: LOOKING FOR GIBSON/GIPSON FAMILIES IN THE AREA >I do not have any direct information about Gipson/Gibson families in > Calloway Co., KY, but I have come across the name Gipson twice > in researching my families in Calloway Co.
