Sorry I'm so slow in answering your email. I overlooked it when going down the line. Now I'm backtracking over the 522 emails still waiting. Where do you live? Our hist soc library here in Bedford has some Gibson information and I'm sure either or both Blair and Huntingdon would. I don't think my neighbor ever got back to the Robert, Rev War Vet, but I imagine the line does go back to him. I would write to the Blair Co Gen'l Soc, Hollidaysburg and the Hunt Co Hist Soc in Huntingdon and ask what they have. It would cost you $50 to find out what is here in Bedford. We have an excellent researcher here who does a great job, but I just feel that there is that much to find. I tried to help my elderly neighbor. I could check the file on Gibson when I am in the library but I can't do any research at present. I'll be there tomorrow if you can get back to me with definite info to look up.
