For the McCroskey/Gibson/Berry researchers out there -- I have been convinced for some time that a relationship exists between three Gibsons who came to Christian Co.: Rachel Gibson (1812-1889) who married James Madison McCroskey (1810-1864), son of James McCroskey and Ann Duff of Washington Co., VA. Margaret Gibson (1817-1894) who married Frederic McCauley (1815-1894), son of Thomas McCauley and Nancy Vest of Washington Co., VA. Thomas Barry/Berry Gibson (1825-1870), parents unknown, who married Sarah Ann Young, daughter of Archibald Alexander Young and Margaret Moore, after he and the Youngs migrated to Christian Co. I assume that in some way these Gibsons -- all of whom were born in TN, to my knowledge -- were descendants or otherwise closely related to Elizabeth Berry and her second husband Billingsley Gibson. My understanding is that Elizabeth and Billingsley moved across the line to Washington or Sullivan Cos., TN after her first husband, James McCroskey, died by 1788 in Washington Co., VA. I have seen references to Elizabeth as the daughter of Francis Berry and possibly Isabelle McGowan, but several other Berrys lived in the area, including Thomas Berry, who had dealings with the Duffs. I am not related -- except on a shirttail basis -- to these families, but I am compiling info on family groups who settled in earliest Greene/Christian Cos. Many of the interrelationships are hidden in the records of counties where the families originally lived. Thanks for your assistance, Randy McConnell
