This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/DNB.2ACI/390 Message Board Post: Robert L. Gipson was quite a colorful character! By his account he was born on Christmas Day in 1766, which would have made him nearly 120 when he died in 1886. He says he married Gracie Smith when he was 35 years of age, and they had 16 children. This would appear to account for most Gipsons, as he also stated that in 1884 he had 105 grandchildren, 190 great-grandchildren and 10 gg-granchildren. Including his 16 children, that was 321 descendants in 1884! Imagine how many there must be today! His autobiography can be found at http://www.rootsweb.com/~momacon/gipson1.htm While this autobiography, and others written about him make for very interesting reading, the dates just don't add up. Information shows that his wife, Gracie Smith, was born in 1794. If "Uncle Bobby" as he was known married her when he was 35, poor Gracie would have only been about 7 years of age at the time of their marriage! Information I have (from other researchers) indicates their marriage took place in 1812, with the oldest child, Stephen, born in 1813 and their youngest, a daughter, Hezekiah, born in 1841. Counting backwards from 1812, and assuming that he was 35 at the time of their marriage, this places his birth year at about 1776-77. However, researchers seem to agree that his birth date was most likely Dec. 25, 1882. His biography, as published in the "History of Macon County," written about 1884, also seems to have several irregular dates and ages of children. Is there anyone out there who has studied this information and has primary sources with which to place relatively accurate dates of births and deaths of the 16 children of this fascinating person?

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/DNB.2ACI/331.3 Message Board Post: Cheryl, you may find this interesting, although it's accuracy is disputed. See my recent post on Robert L. Gipson on this board. >From "History of Macon County" Missouri, pg. 742-744 pub. abt. 1884 Chariton township claims the honor of having the oldest inhabitant now living in the United States--in fact, we doubt whether therer are half a dozen men living anywhere on the face of the earth who are older than the subject of this sketch. Robert Gipson is the son of Stephen and Mollie Gipson (his mother's maiden name being Stilwell), and was born in Randolph county, North Carolina, December 25, 1765, and was, therefore, 118 years old on the 25th day of last December, 1883. He had two full brothers and one sister, Nathan and John and Rebecca, all of whom are dead. The names of his half-brothers and sisters were Larkin, Isaac, Thomas, Henry Stephen, Alfred, Betty, Polly and John. His stepmother's maiden name was Millie Jackson. His own mother died when he was five years old. Randolph, the county of his nativity, is situatd near the center of the State, Ashboro being the county seat. Here Robert grew to manhood, without the advantages of wealth, or even the common rudiments of an education. At that early period schools were scarce, not only in the Old North State, but everywhere in the New World. At about the age of 30 years, he married Gracie Smith, of his native county, and after the birth of their first two children he and his father and their families emigrated to Wayne county, Ky. Here he lived until about the age of 55, and then moved to Randolph county, Missouri, where he resided a few years, and then moved to Macon county, where he now lives. He was mustered into service for the War of 1812, but being beyond the age when men were compelled to do military service, he did not remain. His first wife died about the year 1844, and in 1851 he married Mrs. Hester Howe, of Macon county. He had sixteen children, all by his first wife, nine ! of whom are now living. The names of his deceased children are Albert, Nathan, Julia, Nancy, William, Alzadai, and an infant child that died without being named. The names of his children who are living are: Stephen, aged 87; Thanie, aged 78; Smith, aged 67; Jackson, aged 65, Millie, aged 62, Sabra, aged 57; Robert, aged __; Asa, aged 50; Hezekiah, aged 47. When the last named, which is the youngest, was born, Mr. Gipson was 71 years of age. He has four great-great-grandchildren, 100 great-grandchildren, and 104 grandchildren. Eleven of his children married, and all raised families, the smallest number of children to any one (Hezekiah) being seven, and the largest number being 19 to Smith. Mr. Gipson has always followed the occupation of a farmer, and made a regular hand in the field until about 10 years ago, or until he was 108 years of age, since which time he has been living with his children. About the time he ceased working on the farm, he was riding horseback and his horse ran against the limb of a tree, which dislocated his left shoulder and injured on of his legs. His father was a strong man at the age of 75 years, and was thrown from a horse and killed. Mr. Gipson is about five feet four inches high, has dark brown eyes and had brown hair ( now white as cotton), and has weighed 125 pounds. He was very active during the first 50 years of his life, and could throw, in wrestling, any man in the regiment, in which he served for a short time. He says he never met a man who could throw him, and tells it with great pride. He has had a few chills and one spell of fever; excepting these, he has enjoyed excellent health. He never smoked tobacco, but has been chewing for about 50 years. Has used strong drink to a moderate extent, but was never intoxicated. His habits have been good and regular. He drinks coffee only at breakfast and milk (of which he is very fond) at other meals. He is now a hearty eater and always has been. He takes a nap of about two hours every day, and sleeps well at night. His hearing is greatly impaired, and was first affected about seven years ago. His eye sight begain to fail in 1880; he cannot now ! distinguish one object from another. He, however, walks around by the aid of a cane, and quite recently walked to see a neighbor who lives a half mile away. He has lived an honest and industgrious life, retiring early, and rising with the sun. "Early to bed and early to rise" has been his motto. He has been a member of the Christian Church for 60 years, and although he cannot read or write, he ha delivered a number of sermons, taking his text from memory. His recollection now is not good, especially his impressions of early events and dates. This, however, may be looked for in a man of his great age, but considering his age, his memory is wonderful. There have been but few persons since the flood that have lived to be older than Mr. Gipson. Pliny enumerates 54 persons, who resided between the Apennines and the river Po, who reached the age of 100 years and more. Many of the ancient philosophers who lived abstemious, careful lives, lived to a great age. Sophocles died at 90; Zeno at 98, Democritus at 99, Diogenes at 90, Isocrates at 98, and Hippocrates was upwards of 100 years. The patriarch Jacob died at the age of 147 years, and Joseph at the age of 110. The oldest man of whom history makes mention since antedeluvian times, was Peter Czartan, a Hungarian peasant, the term of whose natural live covered a period of 185 years. His, however, was an exceptional case. Mr. Gibson has already lived longer than any of these mentioned, except Jacob and the Hungarian peasant. He lived contemporaneously with Washington, Lafayette, Marion, Green, and all the Revolutionary heroes of '76, and is still living. He was ten year! s old when the first gun of the Revolution was fired, and heard the drums and shrill whistle of the the wry-necked fifes as they called the yeomanry of his native district to arms. He lived in Colonial days, when the American provinces were under British donimion, and is now, doubtless, the only survivor of those troublous times. He lived prior to the birth of our republic, and has seen our nation grow from 2,500,000 of people to 50,000,000. He has seen the increase of territory, beginning with the 18 original colonies bordering the Atlantic, and expanding until the galaxy of States numbers 38, and extending from ocean to ocean. He was 24 years of age when Washington was first chosen President of the United States, and has voted at every presidential election since Washington, the only man living or dead who has had that honor. Politically, Mr. Gipson was a Democrat prior to the was of 1861, and has cast his vote since that time for Republicans, except in the case of Ge! n. Hancock, for whom he voted in 1880. He was born before Clay, Webster, and Calhoun; more than a quarter of a century has passed since they left the stage of action, and yet he still lingers upon the shores of time. Yes, the aged patriarch, this wonderful old man, whose life is verging so closely upon the 20th century, still remains among the living, unknown to furtune and to fame, quietly and cheerfully awaiting the moment when Time with silent sickle shall mow him down.
