Looking for any information or connections to my line of Gipson/Gibsons that may be related to the Gibson/Gipson families in this area. My George Gibson was born in 1765 and was living in Louisa county VA at the time he was 15 and first entered the military. After that he shows up in Spartanburg SC and then in the Todd/ Christian county area of Western KY.He had a brother named Henry and the father listed for him was John. His wife was Abigail ? listed as being from SC. If anyone has information or ideas please let me know, any information on this line would be greatly appreciated. Also there is some type of mixing within our line, we suspect they may be of the Melungeon set but cannot seem to find out much about these folks. Thanks everybody Robin Holt Mccracken county KY --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? Take Yahoo! Mail with you! Get it on your mobile phone.

This has been a 20+ year search, trying to locate our grandparents gravesites. There was never a headstone installed, so the only thing that may be there to mark the sites are small, metal footmarkers. After 60 years, you can probably imagine the difficulty in finding those. This cemetery is so overgrown, there are trees growing in many of the graves. Cousins from four states met there in October, hoping beyond hope that we could find the sites. One cousin has found info that the cemetery is still owned by a coal company, who provided the land to the public for a cemetery. That company has, so far, refused to answer any inquiries about it. If your great aunt has any leads, no matter how small, we would be forever greatful.

MOST URGENT AND MOST IMPORTANT THAT THESE DESCENDANTS DO THIS TO EVEN PROVE THAT THEY ARE "HARRIS" AT ALL, SO FAR LOOKS AS THOUGH THEY ARE NOT...DNA IS MOST IMPORTANT AND URGENT FOR THESE DESCENDANTS!! Jacob Harris, could've just been given the "Harris" name?? We need participants to do the DNA to see and establish the "Harris" Line of Jacob Harris, and to see if there will be other matches of this line, that is claimed to be "Harris!!" Anyway, on my: Jacob Harris, B.ca 1802, D.after the "1880" LAWRENCE COUNTY, KY., Census was taken, in which he stated that his parents were BORN IN: VIRGINIA! This Jacob Harris, Married: Jane/Jonea Canaday/Kannaday, (Jane Kannaday, listed on Marraige Certificate), Married: Aug. 28, 1827, in Wilkes Co. NC, in which Jacob Harris & Meredith PHILIPS, paid the Govenor (NC) 500 pounds current money. QUESTIONS??? Why was Jacob Harris in this Area??? Who was he living with???

Also, this William Harris was supposidly a VERY LARGE LAND HOLDER in KNOTT COUNTY, KY., according to some family stories and beliefs, but when checking out Deeds, which I am aware of could be easily destroyed or have been moved out of the books in the court houses. Is this a Fact or is it Fiction??
