I am working on my gr. grandmother Catharine "Kate, Caty" Gibson, who was born in Scott Co. VA between 1822-1830. Along with many other friends Gibson Researcher, I believe we are making headway back from 1860. I am a descendant of Catharine "Kate, Caty" Gibson who had 5 children with Elbe Collins. My grandfather Samuel Gibson was her second son of three born in Scott Co. VA before Kate was with Elbe Collins by 1857 and appeared in the 1860 Floyd Co. KY census with him and the first 2 of their 5 children. The only record of Kate and her sister being Hamiltons is from the records of my dear friends Aaron and Roma Tuttle and they got this from a very, very elderly person (now desceased) and could never varify it. Elbe's children always were with him after his divorce from Nancy Gibson in Hancock Co. TN. 4 of Elbe & Catharine's children were with him & Jane in 1870; Floyd Co. census; but child #5 Elvira Collins is with her mother in the 1870 Perry Co. KY census. Elbe's wife #1 was Nancy Gibson, dau. of Esau (Saul) Gibson and his wife Rachel. Esau was in the 1820 Scott Co. VA census then later in Hancock Co. TN, always near Elbe Collins's parents Allen and Rachel Collins. Our family researchers believe that Nancy, Catharine and Jane "Jennie" are all Gibson and related to each other. Catharine and Jane being sisters. I have the marriage record for Elbe Collins and Elizabeth "Betty" said to be a Wallen, but married as a Caudill. Floyd County Vital Statistics By C.E. Shepard page 6 17 Aug 1874 Unnamed still born daughter to Elbert ? Collins and Elizabeth Caudill on Beaver Cr., father born in Tn., mother born in North Carolina Elbe & Elizabeth Collins only living child was Cora Bell Collins who married William Collins son of Vardy Collins and Polly Johnson.
