It is recorded in the Knox Co. Marriage Index. J. M. Gibson married Mary F. Dozier, 3-17-1898, Book A-10, Page 368. I know it would help if he had always used the same name. If I can locate Onie's marriage record to Ruby Bishop, I just might have the answer I'm looking for. I really feel the 1910 census does give proof that Matt (Madison, J. M.) is Onie's father. Martha Gibson Peavler was Matt's sister. Onie would have been the Peavler's nephew. This record gives Matt, age 39, widow (widower). He was born in KY, however, it says VA. Then it states Onie's father was born in VA. Is this not more proof? I believe Mary F. "Fannie" Dozier Gibson died before deaths were recorded in KY. Fannie Dozier was a witness at my great-grandparent's marriage. They were Willam Andrew Dozier and Ida Belle Gibson. I can't find any other record of Fannie, but I believe very strongly she was Onie's mother. Larry
