There remains a mystery as to where my Grandfather John GILSON b.1814Columbiana County, Ohio. He died between 1880 & 1885. If it were possible I would love to have a conversation with my Great Grandmother EDNA (HUNTER) GILSON, married to JOHN GILSON in 1862 Greene County, Indiana, because only her or her children would know for sure where John had died. In 1862 John Gilson married Edney Hunter, daughter of Andrew & Sydney (Stalcup) Hunter. There were five children, Millicent Ann - 1862, George - 1864, Joshua - 1866 and Oliver Perry GILSON - 1867 were all born in Indiana prior to the family moving on to Adair County Missouri. In 1868, John Gilson Jr. was born in Iowa. Between 1868 & 1880 the family moved to Adair County Missouri where they show up on the 1880 Census. The family now is joined by more children, Mary Alice - 1875, Daniel Martin - 1876 and Thomas Levi GILSON- 1878 who were all born in Adair Co. Missouri. According to Mary Alice, the family moved from MO. to Nebraska City. NE. in 1879. However we still find John & Edna listed at Adair Co. MO. in 1880. There were indications that the family had moved into the town of Nebraska City, Nebraska, prior to 1885 with or without John, but only Edna or her children will ever know for sure. In 1885 Edna is listed on the Nebraska State census as living in Four mile Prescient as a widow. This indicates that John GILSON died between 1880 and 1885.
