I am sure I was grasping at straws since I have so little on my Gibsons. My aunt who was born in 1902 and has already passed away, told me about my great grandfather growing up on the Gibson plantation. He was William H. Gibson ,married Belle Dyer in Tenn. Migrated to Fisher County Tx.by 1880. Both lines have been so elusive . I knew they must have passed through Mississippi at some point. This was probably why I was looking there. Do you know the general location of this island, or what communities it might have been near. Do you mean the reference you found said this island is now under water? Where did you find your information. I can't remember where I was reading about the Gibson plantaion being near this island. I appriciate your information. When I get back to this family maybe I will find my references. I have been working full time again and not much time for my genealogy, which I dearly love.
