The following are from rough drafts of letters written by Aunt Pauline to various places seeking information about our family. "My name is Pauine Gibson born in MO 1916. My father was George F. Gibson born in KY in 1854. My grandfather was Thomas Henry Gibosn born in KY in 1822. My great grandfather was Johnson Gibson born ? abt 1797. Great Great Grandfather was Henry Gibson abt 1770. and the next generation GG G grandfather.... married to Susanna Gibson, she first shows up in KY 1804 on tax list)" "Johnson Gibson married Rebecca Edwards 1820. The book "Statistical Handbook of Trigg Co KY" their marrage was listed and it listed (H and N) as Johnson's parents. We find Henry living on some of the same land as Johnson at different census. Henry is shown as a land owner in 1799 under "Grants South of Green River" in book 6 Christian Co Ky, 1799. He is listed in 1800 "tax list" also John Gibson. In "1804 Tax List" Susanna Gibson also showed (rents from ponds) which Henry was listed on the same place, at an earlier date, (rents from ponds) so I thought Susanna might be the mother of Henry and John. Can you help me if she is their mother. Also where they came from to KY and Susanna's husbands name and how or where we can find information on Henry and Susanna. If they are mother and son? also Nathan might be a brother-in-law to Susanna Gibson. " "Henry could be Johnson's father? We have gotten a deed from Christian Co. where a John Gibson willed his son Henry some land in (1803-1806). Also in an earlier KY tax records 1800-1810) shows where Henry and John lived on the same lands and also an older lady Susanna. Before Susanna shows up on the land in 1803 there was a Henry Gibson in 1800 on the land. I think he might have died either in 1802 or 1803. He might have been Johnson's father." >From another letter: "This is what I already know. The 1810 census here, also on the Todd Co census of 1820 Henry, John and others but Johnson Johnson Gibson shows as a young man with a family. Again in 1830 census of Todd Co Henry and Johnson are on it. I found where Henry and Johnson both have "grants west of Tenn River:. Henry has NW qr Section 22-T-3R-1W. Johnson has NW qr Section 23-T-3R-1W. I believe Henry to be Johnson's father because of the ( H-N) listing Johnsons marriage and because they have lived near each other and Johnson named his first son Thomas Henry Gibson. But I don't have any real proof. I also think maybe Susannah might have been Henry's mother . But again I have no proof. I do not know where they came from to KY. I have always been told they came from VA but have nerver known what part. I can't find any more information on them in KY. The other things were a bad copy of John Gibsons will. and a letter from Mary Wiles. "Alexander Vinson who married Lucy Gibson was my late husband's 2ggparents." "I have not found parents for Johnson Gibson but I am still looking" and in reply Pauline wrote, "In checking the 1800 to 1830 tax records of Christian Co I find two older John Gibson. They are also in the 1810-1820 census. Your John Gibson was the one that had land in tax records on Triade (not sure of spelling) Water in Christian CO 1806 and the other John who died in 1811 had land on Rent Frows Pond in Christian Co. and gave his son Henry Gibson 200 acres in 1803. I'll send you a copy of the deed we have it. I think that it is the same Henry that shows on the 1810 -1820 census of Christian and Todd Co. I think that Johnson might be the son of that Henry. But as yet I have not been able to find out who Henry's children are." "Do you know where the John Gibson who is Lucys father came from?" "In the early tax records of Christian Co 1800 there is only one Gibson and it is Henry Gibson on the Spring Creek. But must have died because he doesn't show up any more in the 1801-1802 or 1803 but in 1804 Susannah shows up on Spring Creek." The letters were written 1980-81. Any one with any additional information would love to hear from you. Sincerely, Pat Mata
